Notice to Authors of Papers
(Revised January 2004)
I. General Policy
|
| (1) |
General Scope. The Bulletin of the Chemical Society of Japan is devoted to the publication of research papers in the fields of theoretical and physical chemistry, analytical and inorganic chemistry, organic and biological chemistry, and applied and materials chemistry. Four kinds of papers are published: Accounts, Headline Articles, Articles, and Short Articles.
|
|
| (2) |
Kinds of Papers.
2.1 Accounts. Accounts are concise, objective reviews written by scientists active in an area of current interest. The contents of the review may be largely from the author¡¯s own laboratory. However, contributions by other workers should be mentioned so that the review will be in perspective. Most reviews are written by invitation of the Editor-in-Chief, but unsolicited manuscripts are also considered.
2.2 Headline Articles. Headline Articles are research papers that are given special recognition because of their high scientific quality and general interest. Headline Articles are either written on invitation by the Editor-in-Chief or selected by the Editorial Board from accepted Articles.
2.3 Articles. Articles are research papers that describe meaningful studies that are complete.
2.4 Short Articles. Short Articles are short, but complete as a paper, and with scientifically valuable results. Short Articles must be no longer than 2 pages when printed. Authors must not submit a paper with the same content to any other journal.
|
|
| (3) |
Submission.
3.1 Only original contributions will be considered. However, manuscripts may contain results already published in journals for rapid publication such as Chemistry Letters.
The authors bear full responsibility for the scientific content of the paper.
3.2 The language of the Bulletin is English.
|
|
| (4) |
Refereeing and Revision.
4.1 All manuscripts submitted to the Bulletin are reviewed by referees and a co-editor. The co-editor finally decides on each manuscript¡¯s acceptability for publication. Manuscripts that need extensive revision to match the format of the Bulletin may be returned to the authors without review. Even accepted manuscripts may need a check by a native speaker of English for clarity of language.
4.2 The Editors may ask that a manuscript be revised. Requested revisions must be submitted as soon as possible. If the revised paper is not submitted within one month, and the reason for the delay is not acceptable, or not given, the manuscript may be regarded as having been withdrawn. Revised manuscripts should be submitted in duplicate, unless otherwise indicated. The revised manuscripts must be accompanied by the original manuscript and also must be accompanied by a covering letter of response to each of the comments of the reviewers and by a list of changes made in the original.
|
|
| (5) |
Proofs.
5.1 The author will receive galley proofs, which must be returned within two days. Corrections must be restricted to instances in which the proof is at variance with the manuscript. If the manuscript is not returned in time, the proofreading done at the Editorial Office will be taken to be final.
5.2 The contents of galley proofs should not be altered without the permission of the Editor.
|
|
| (6) |
Copyright. The copyright of papers accepted for publication in the Bulletin belongs to the Chemical Society of Japan.
|
|
| (7) |
Reprints. An author whose paper has been accepted for publication is asked to order at least 50 reprints of the paper. The authors will receive instructions concerning payment to the Society together with the proofs. This payment is requested, but is not a condition for publication, because papers are accepted or rejected on the basis of scientific merit only. The publication charge may be waived upon request from authors who do not have funds.
|
|
| (8) |
Corrections. When serious errors are found in a published paper, the authors should send to the Editor a notice of correction for publication.
|
|
| (9) |
Nomination of Possible Reviewers. Authors are encouraged to suggest reviewers for their work. Such reviewers may be used at the discretion of the editors.
|
|
| (10) |
Submission of Manuscripts and Copyright Status Form. Authors should submit manuscripts in quadruplicate (the original typescript and three good copies) and four copies of the text for the table of Contents with Illustrations. Two copies of any papers cited that are in press or that have been submitted should be included. Authors should prepare and submit a floppy disk with document files, following instruction from the Editorial Office, after the manuscript is accepted for publication. The documents should be sent to the Editor, Bulletin of the Chemical Society of Japan, Chemical Society of Japan, 1-5 Kanda-Surugadai, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo 101-8307, Japan. The manuscript should be accompanied by a copyright status form (see end of this Notice).
|
|
|
II. Manuscript Preparation
|
| (1) |
General Instructions. Manuscripts should be prepared on a word processor of high quality. The manuscript should be printed double-spaced throughout (with a space of 24 points that is, 6 mm, between lines), including references, tables, figures, and footnotes, on A4 or 22 ¡Á 28-cm paper. Serif fonts such as Times or Times New Roman are recommended; point size should be 12. Manuscripts should be printed on a high quality printer (300 dpi or more). Leave a liberal margin (2 cm) on all four edges of every manuscript page. All pages of the manuscript, including tables, figure captions, and figures, should be numbered consecutively starting with the title page. Two copies of any papers cited that are already published may be submitted if they may be helpful in reviewing the manuscript.
Authors should consult recent issues of the Bulletin for examples of style, format, and the use of abbreviations.
|
|
| (2) |
Specific Instructions. The corresponding author is asked to write in the top left-hand corner of the first page of the manuscript his or her preference about which section the article should be placed in: Theoretical and Physical Chemistry, Analytical and Inorganic Chemistry, Organic and Biological Chemistry, or Applied and Materials Chemistry.
A running title of not more than 45 letters including spaces should be given for each manuscript except for Short Articles, followed by the title of the paper, the authors, and the names and addresses of the organizations. An asterisk may be used to designate the name of the author to whom correspondence should be addressed, and one e-mail address should be given after the received date. An informative Synopsis not exceeding 200 words (50 words for Short Articles) should follow. The synopsis must be written so that readers can understand the main points of the paper without reference to its tables or figures. Texts may contain subheadings such as Theoretical, Results, Discussion, and Experimental, but a subheading for the introduction is not needed. No subheadings are used in Short Articles except for Experimental. Acknowledgements may be placed at the end of the text, before the references. Dedications and other notes should be indicated by a superscript, e.g., #, at the end of the title and placed at the beginning of the Reference section. Short Articles must be no more than 2 pages long when printed in final form.
|
|
| (3) |
Table of Contents with Illustrations. A page containing the text for an item in the Table of Contents with Illustrations (see the recent issues of the Bulletin for examples) should be provided on a single separate sheet and placed after the figures, or after the tables if there are no figures. The Content should consist of (1) the title of the paper, (2) the family names of the authors preceded by the initials of the given names, (3) a summary not exceeding 40 words, and (4) a small diagram or other informative illustration (scheme, formula, figure, etc.) that shows the most striking feature of the paper in pictorial form. The summary ought to be concise, but not a paraphrase of the title. The illustration should be clear enough for photographic reproduction after being reduced in size. The area when printed will be 4.6 ¡Á 4.6 cm or 10.0 ¡Á 2.0 cm depending on which of these two formats is more suitable; the size of the diagram as well as the points of the typeface of any words in it should be selected with these sizes in mind. The whole item should fit in an area measuring 17.5 ¡Á 4.6 cm with a title of the usual length and with all authors listed. If the summary is too long or the illustration is too big, the author may be asked to make the summary shorter or the illustration smaller.
|
|
| (4) |
Nomenclature. Nomenclature should be clear, consistent, and unambiguous. It should conform as closely as possible to one of the following three nomenclature systems: the rules established by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), the rules listed in the ¡°Orange Book¡± published by the Nomenclature Committee of the Chemical Society of Japan, and the rules used in the Chemical Abstracts Index Guide. In any single manuscript, the authors should use only one system.
|
|
| (5) |
Symbols and Units. Symbols and units should conform as closely as possible to those of the System International (SI). In their use of symbols and units, authors should refer to ¡°Quantities, Units, and Symbols in Physical Chemistry,¡± Blackwell, Oxford (1988) or its Japanese translation published by Kodansha (1991).
|
|
| (6) |
References and Abbreviations. References to the literature and all footnotes, regardless of their type (except those in tables), should be numbered in one consecutive series. Journal abbreviations should conform to those used in Chemical Abstracts. Numerals for references should be given as follows: in previous papers.2,3,5-8
The use of ¡°ibid.¡± and ¡°idem¡± in references is not allowed. Each reference must be cited completely.

Tables. Tables should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals and grouped together after the list of references. If possible, they should be designed to occupy fully a single column or the full width of a page. Tables should be provided with a suitable heading. Standard abbreviations should be used in the tables. All tables must be cited in the text, as Table 1; Tables 1, 2, and 3.
|
|
| (8) |
Figures Including Graphs. Hardcopy graphics should be printed on a high-resolution laser printer on high-quality white paper. Each illustration should be marked in the margin with the names of the authors. Figures should be numbered in a series and cited in order in the text, as Fig.1; Figs.1, 2, 3, and 4. At the beginning of a sentence, ¡°Figure¡± should be spelled out instead of being abbreviated. All captions should be typed in sequence on one or more separate sheets. Standard abbreviations should be used in figure captions. Subdividing of a figure into, for example, Fig.1a, 1b, etc., is allowed. However, these parts of one figure should be placed on the same page. A caption that applies to all parts of the figure must be provided.
Structures should be presented as prints produced using a drawing package such as ChemDraw.

For best results, submit illustrations in the actual size at which they should appear in Bull. Chem. Soc. Jpn. Original illustrations which do not need to be reduced to fit a single or double column will yield the best quality. Lettering should be no smaller than 4.5 points. (Helvetica or Arial type works well for lettering.) Lines should be no thinner than 0.5 points. Lettering and lines should be of uniform density.
If the submitted artwork must be reduced, larger lettering and thicker lines should be used so that, when reduced, the artwork meets the above-mentioned criteria. |
|
| (9) |
Formulas, Equations, and Numbers for Compounds. Empirical and structural formulas and mathematical and chemical equations should be arranged to fill the width of a single or double column. All mathematical equations must be numbered in either Arabic or Roman numerals. In the labeling of equations, the following format is used.
|
|
ex. |
x + y = z |
(1a) |
|
|
3x+3y = 4z |
(1b) |
|
Compounds should be numbered with Arabic numerals, as a rule. Letters such as a, b, and c may be used in addition to the numerals.
|
|
| (10) |
Analyses. The purity of new compounds should be verified by elemental analysis, to an accuracy of within ¡À 0.4%. The data are described as in this example. Found: C, 47.69; H, 3.94; N, 20.98%. Calcd for C21H20N8O9: C, 47.75; H, 3.81; N, 21.24%. In special cases, for example when the compound is unstable or not available in sufficient quantities for complete analysis, other supporting data should be supplied for proving the purity and homogeneity of the compound. If appropriate, submission of additional materials, such as hard copies of 1H and 13C NMR charts or GC or HPLC traces with appropriate integration, is encouraged for inspection by the referees. In such cases, evidence of molecular composition (i.e. MS data) should also be provided.
|
|
| (11) |
Crystal Structure Studies. Reports of crystal structure analysis are to be presented as recommended by the Commission of Crystallographic Data of the International Union of Crystallography; details can be found in the Notice to Authors of recent issues of Acta Crystallography, Section C, or in the Web edition downloaded from . The paper should include most crystallographic data and details of refinement, figures of the crystal structure, molecular structure, or both, and selected bond distances and angles. Tables of final atomic coordinates and thermal factors can be added when necessary. Four copies of the Supporting Information (tables of final atomic coordinates and thermal factors and of all bond distances and angles) should be sent to the Editorial Office together with the manuscript. When anisotropic thermal factors are submitted, the equivalent isotropic thermal factors, Beq, should also be included.
|
|
| (12) |
Deposition of X-ray Crystallographic Data. On the basis of an agreement between the Chemical Society of Japan and the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre, the Editorial Office will deposit results of all X-ray crystallographic data in that database. Authors will be requested to send crystallographic data, details of measurement, atomic coordinates, thermal factors if needed, bond distances, and bond angles in the CIF format or in an alternative format to the Editorial Office via e-mail. Further details are available from the Editorial Office.

Full-text Data Base and Computer Editing. The Bulletin is published after computer editing. The full text of the Bulletin is being deposited in computer data bases. Unusual symbols and certain kinds of lines cannot be printed for technical reasons in computer editing. Information regarding acceptable symbols and lines can be obtained from the Editorial Office of the Bulletin.
