About the journal
The Journal of Microencapsulation is a well-established journal devoted to the preparation, properties and uses of individually encapsulated small particles. Its scope extends beyond microcapsules to all other small particulate systems which involve preparative manipulation. These forms find a wide variety of medical, biological, industrial and research applications. The journal covers the chemistry of encapsulation materials; the physics of release through the capsule wall; the techniques of preparation; content and storage; and the many uses to which microcapsules are put. Also found in every issue of the journal is an extensive information and reference section comprising patent briefing and literature alerts listings.

Taylor & Francis
The foundations of Taylor & Francis were laid in pioneering fashion in 1798. Richard Taylor printed and launched the Philosophical Magazine, one of the first scientific journals published by an independent company.
It was the start of a close collaboration with scholarly societies which was cultivated throughout the 1880s. The company became the printer for the Royal Astronomical Society, the Geological Society, the Zoological Society, the Horticultural Society, the Royal Botanical Society, the British Association for the Advancement of Science, the Royal Society and the Linnean Society of London. With the proliferation of periodicals and information generated and by learned societies at the turn of the century, Taylor & Francis also became pioneers in the field of abstracting journals, and in 1890 the company became the first printer of Science Abstracts the precursor of today's Physics Abstracts.
Book publishing was a mostly secondary concern for the company until the 1960s, when significant expansion was implemented at all levels from schoolbooks to high level monographs. Since then the focus of book publishing has been predominantly at the undergraduate level and above, with an ever larger number of subject areas brought into the programme.
The principles which drove the founders of Taylor and Francis are still paramount today. Academic scholarship must be of the highest quality which will be reflected in appropriate production practices and values. We hope that we remain true to those principles and that being a Taylor & Francis author is still a pleasant, profitable and proud experience.
Submitting a paper to Journal of Microencapsulation
Please read these Guidelines with care and attention: failure to follow them may result in your paper being delayed. Note especially the referencing conventions used by Journal of Microencapsulation.
Journal of Microencapsulation considers all manuscripts on condition they are the property (copyright) of the submitting author(s) and that copyright will be transferred to Journal of Microencapsulation and Taylor & Francis Ltd if the paper is accepted.
Journal of Microencapsulation considers all manuscripts on the strict condition that they have been submitted only to Journal of Microencapsulation, that they have not been published already, nor are they under consideration for publication, nor in press elsewhere. Authors who fail to adhere to this condition will be charged all costs which Journal of Microencapsulation incurs, and their papers will not be published.
Writing your paper
- The manuscript should be typed on one side of good quality A4 (21x29.6cm) paper with double line spacing and wide margins throughout.
- In writing your paper, you are encouraged to review articles in the area you are addressing which have been previously published in the journal, and where you feel appropriate, to reference them. This will enhance context, coherence, and continuity for our readers.
- New submissions should be sent in triplicate. Manuscripts will not normally be returned unless the author includes a reply-paid postage label.
- The title page should contain the complete title of the manuscript, names and affiliations of all authors, name , address, telephone and fax numbers for correspondence, and a short title (running head) of not more than 45 characters.
- The abstract (250 words) should summarize the major findings and conclusions. Do not cite references in the summary.
- Keywords; up to five words or phrases that encapsulate the significant content of the paper should be provided.
- Introduction, results, discussion and experimental procedures should conform to standard scientific reporting style. Sufficient data must be given so that the study can be duplicated.
- Authors should include telephone and fax numbers as well as e-mail addresses on the cover page of manuscripts.
- Accepted manuscripts in their final, revised versions, should also be submitted as electronic word processing files on disk - see ‘Electronic Processing?
Nomenclature and units
All abbreviations and units should conform to SI practice. Drugs should be referred to by generic names; trade names of substances, their sources, and details of manufacturers of scientific instruments should be given only if the information is important to the evaluation of the experimental data.
Copyright permission
Contributors are required to secure permission for the reproduction of any figure, table, or extensive (more than fifty word) extract from the text, from a source which is copyrighted - or owned - by a party other than Taylor & Francis or the contributor.
This applies both to direct reproduction or ‘derivative reproduction?- when the contributor has created a new figure or table which derives substantially from a copyrighted source.
The following form of words can be used in seeking permission:
Dear [COPYRIGHT HOLDER]
I/we are preparing for publication an article entitled
[STATE TITLE]
to be published by Taylor & Francis Ltd in Journal of Microencapsulation.
I/we should be grateful if you would grant us permission to include the following materials:
[STATE FIGURE NUMBER AND ORIGINAL SOURCE]
We are requesting non-exclusive rights in this edition and in all forms. It is understood, of course, that full acknowledgement will be given to the source.
Please note that Taylor & Francis are signatories of and respect the spirit of the STM Agreement regarding the free sharing and dissemination of scholarly information.
Your prompt consideration of this request would be greatly appreciated.
Yours faithfully
Code of experimental ethics and practice
Contributors are required to follow the procedures in force in their countries which govern the ethics of work done with human or animal subjects. The Code of Ethics of the World Medical Association (Declaration of Helsinki) represents a minimal requirement.
When experimental animals are used, state the species, strain, number used, and other pertinent descriptive characteristics.
For human subjects or patients, describe their characteristics.
When describing surgical procedures on animals, identify the pre anaesthetic and anaesthetic agents used and state the amount of concentration and the route and frequency of administration for each. The use of paralytic agents, such as curare or succinylcholine, is not an acceptable substitute for anaesthetics. For other invasive procedures on animals, report the analgesic or tranquilizing drugs used; if none were used, provide justification for such exclusion.
When reporting studies on unanaesthetized animals or on humans, indicate that the procedures followed were in accordance with institutional guidelines.
Abstracts
Structured abstracts are required for all papers, and should be submitted as detailed below, following the title and author’s name and address, preceding the main text.
For papers reporting original research, state the primary objective and any hypothesis tested; describe the research design and your reasons for adopting that methodology; state the methods and procedures employed, state the main outcomes and results, and state the conclusions that might be drawn from these data and results, including their implications for further research or application/practice.
For review papers, state the primary objective of the review; the reasoning behind your literature selection; and the way you critically analyse the literature; state the main outcomes and results of your review; and state the conclusions that might be drawn, including their implications for further research or application/practice.
Abstracts should not exceed 250 words.
Notes on style
Some specific points of style for the text of research papers, and reviews follow:
1. We prefer US to ‘American? USA to ‘United States? and UK to ‘United Kingdom?
2. We use conservative (British, not US, spelling, i.e. colour not color; behaviour (behavioural) not behavior; [school] programme not program; [he] practises not practices; centre not center; organization not organisation; analyse not analyze, etc.
3. Single ‘quotes?are used for quotations rather than double "quotes", unless the ‘quote is "within" another quote?
4. Punctuation should follow the British style, e.g. ‘quotes precede punctuation?
5. Punctuation of common abbreviations should follow the following conventions: e.g. i.e. cf. Note that such abbreviations are not followed by a comma or a (double) point/period.
6. Dashes (M-dash) should be clearly indicated in manuscripts by way of either a clear dash ( ?) or a triple hyphen (---) (N-dash) should be indicated by a clear dash (? or a double hyphen (--).
7. We are sparing in our use of the upper case in headings and references, e.g. only the first word in paper titles and all subheads is in upper case; titles of papers from journals in the references and other places are not in upper case.
8. Apostrophes should be used sparingly. Thus, decades should be referred to as follows: ‘The 1980s [not the 1980’s] saw ...? Possessives associated with acronyms (e.g. PA), should be written as follows: ‘The APU’s findings that ...? but, NB, the plural is APUs.
9. All acronyms for national agencies, examinations, etc., should be spelled out the first time they are introduced in text or references. Thereafter the acronym can be used if appropriate, e.g. ‘The work of the Assessment of Performance Unit (APU) in the early 1980s ...? Subsequently, ‘The APU studies of achievement ...? in a reference ... (Department of Education and Science [DES] 1989a).
10. Brief biographical details of significant national figures should be outlined in the text unless it is quite clear that the person concerned would be known internationally. Some suggested editorial emendations to a ‘typical?text are indicated in the following with square brackets: ‘From the time of H. E. Armstrong [in the 19th century] to the curriculum development work associated with the Nuffield Foundation [in the 1960s], there has been a shift from heurism to constructivism in the design of [British] science courses?
11. The preferred local (national) usage for ethnic and other minorities should be used in all papers. For the USA, ‘African-American? ‘Hispanic?and ‘Native American?are used, e.g. ‘The African American presidential candidate, Jesse Jackson...? for the UK, ‘Afro-Caribbean?(not ‘West Indian?, etc.
12. Material to be emphasized (italicized in the printed version) should be underlined in the typescript rather than italicized. Please use such emphasis sparingly.
13. n (not N), % (not per cent) should be used in typescripts.
14. Numbers in text should take the following forms: 300, 3000, 30 000. Spell out numbers under 10 unless used with a unit of measure, e.g. nine pupils but 9 mm (do not introduce periods with measure). For decimals, use the form 0.05 (not .05).
15. When using a word which is or is asserted to be a proprietary term or trade mark authors?must use the symbol ?or TM or alternatively a footnote can be inserted using the wording below:
This article includes a word which is or is asserted to be a proprietary term or trade mark. Its inclusion does not imply it has acquired for legal purposes a non-proprietary or general significance, nor is any other judgement implied concerning its legal status.
Mathematics
Special care should be taken with mathematical scripts, especially subscripts and superscripts and differentiation between the letter 'ell' and the figure one, and the letter 'oh 'and the figure zero. If your keyboard does not have the characters you need, it is preferable to use longhand, in which case it is important to differentiate between capital and small letters, K, k and x and other similar groups of letters. Special symbols should be highlighted in the text and explained in the margin. In some cases it is helpful to supply annotated lists of symbols for the guidance of the sub-editor and the typesetter, and/or a ‘Nomenclature?section preceding the ‘Introduction?
For simple fractions in the text, the solidus / should be used instead of a horizontal line, care being taken to insert parentheses where necessary to avoid ambiguity, for example, I /(n-1). Exceptions are the proper fractions available as single type on a keyboard.
Full formulae or equations should be displayed, that is, written on a separate line. Horizontal lines are preferable to solidi.
The solidus is not generally used for units: ms - 1 not m/s, but note electrons/s, counts/channel, etc.
Displayed equations referred to in the text should be numbered serially (1, 2, etc.) on the right hand side of the page. Short expressions not referred to by any number will usually be incorporated in the text.
Symbols should not be underlined to indicate fonts except for tensors, vectors and matrices, which are indicated with a wavy line in the manuscript (not with a straight arrow or arrow above) and rendered in heavy type in print: upright sans serif r (tensor), sloping serif r (vector) upright serif r (matrix).
Typographical requirements must be clearly indicated at their first occurrence, e.g. Greek, Roman, script, sans serif, bold, italic. Authors will be charged for corrections at proof stage resulting from a failure to do so.
Braces, brackets and parentheses are used in the order {[( )]}, except where mathematical convention dictates otherwise (i.e. square brackets for commutators and anticommutators)
Notes on tables and figures
Artwork submitted for publication will not be returned and will be destroyed after publication, unless you request otherwise. Whilst every care is taken of artwork, neither the Editor nor Taylor & Francis shall bear any responsibility or liability for non-return, loss, or damage of artwork, nor for any associated costs or compensation. You are strongly advised to insure appropriately.
1. Tables and figures should be valuable, relevant, and visually attractive. Tables and figures must be referred to in the text and numbered in order of their appearance. Each table and figure should have a complete, descriptive title; and each table column an appropriate heading.
Tables and figures should be referred to in text as follows: figure 1, table 1, i.e. lower case. ‘As seen in table [or figure] 1 ...?(not Tab., fig. or Fig).
2. The place at which a table or figure is to be inserted in the printed text should be indicated clearly on a manuscript:
[Insert table 2 about here ]
3. Each table and/or figure must have a title that explains its purpose without reference to the text.
4. All figures and tables must be on separate sheets and not embedded in the text. Original copies of figures should be supplied. All figures should allow for reduction to column width (130 mm) or page width (160mm). Please avoid figures that would require landscape reproduction, i.e., reading from bottom to top of the page. Photographs may be sent as glossy prints or negatives.
Please number each figure on the reverse in pencil.
Do not type the caption to a figure on that figure; the legends to any illustrations must be typed separately following the main text and should be grouped together.
Acknowledgements
Any acknowledgements authors wish to make should be included in a separate headed section at the end of the manuscript.
Citations in text
References should be cited using the author-date, or Harvard, system.
1. ‘Ibid.?(and the like) are not used when repeating citations. Simply repeat the original citation verbatim, e.g. (Orwell 1945).
2. Citations should be included in prefatory material to quotes (wherever possible) rather than placing them at the end. Thus, for example, ‘Orwell (1945: 23) reduces the principles of animalism to seven commandments, namely, ...?is preferred to ‘Orwell reduced the principles of animalism to seven commandments, namely, ... (Orwell 1945: 23)?
3. Multiple citations within parentheses should be divided by a comma, not a semi-colon, and there should be no use of ?amp;?within such multiple references. References to works published in the same year should be cited as, e.g. (Smith 1991a, b).
4. Multiple citations within a text should be ordered by date, not alphabetically by authors name, e.g. (Smith 1902, Jones and Bower 1934, Brown 1955, 1958a, b, Green 1995).
5. ?SPAN style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic">et al.?may be used in references within the text when a paper or book has three or more authors, but note that all names should be given in the reference itself.
6. Page spans in references should be given in full, e.g. ‘Sedgewick (1935: 102-103; emphasis added) outlines them as follows:?

Early Electronic Offprints
Corresponding authors can now receive their article by e-mail as a complete PDF. This allows the author to print up to 50 copies, free of charge, and disseminate them to colleagues. In many cases this facility will be available up to two weeks prior to publication. Or, alternatively, corresponding authors will receive the traditional 50 offprints. A copy of the journal will be sent by post to all corresponding authors after publication. Additional copies of the journal can be purchased at the author’s preferential rate of ?5.00/$25.00 per copy.
Electronic Processing
We strongly encourage you to send us the final, revised version of your article in both hard (paper) and electronic (disk) forms. This Guide sets out the procedures which will assure we can process your article efficiently. It is divided into three sections:
1. a guide for authors using standard word-processing software packages
2. a guide for authors using LaTeX mathematical software packages
3. a guide for authors using graphics software packages
There are some general rules which apply to all three options.
- these guides do not apply to authors who are submitting an article for consideration and peer review; they apply only to authors whose articles have been reviewed, revised, and accepted for publication
- print out your hard (paper) copy from the disk you are sending; it is essential that the hard-copy printout is identical to the material on the disk; where versions differ, the hard copy will take precedence. We advise that you maintain back-ups of your files
- save and send your files on a standard 3.5 inch high density disk (Mac or PC); please do not attempt to send the article via file transfer protocol or email
- when saving your article onto a disk, please make sure that the files do not exceed a manageable size. Please ensure that figures are saved on a separate disk
- ensure that the files are not saved as read only
- virus-check your disk before sending it to the Editor
- label your disk
- package disks in such a way as to avoid damage in the post
- disks are not returnable after publication
1. A guide for authors using standard word-processing software packages
For the main text of your article, most standard PC or Mac word-processing software packages are acceptable, although we prefer Microsoft Word in a PC format.
Word-processed files should be prepared according to the journal style.
Avoid the use of embedded footnotes. For numbered tables, use the table function provided with the word-processing package.
All text should be saved in one file with the complete text (including the title page, abstract, all sections of the body of the paper, references), followed by numbered tables and the figure captions.
You should send the following to the Editor:
- a 3.5-inch disk containing the final, accepted version of the paper
- include an ASCII/text only version on the disk as well as the word processed version if possible
- two hard copy printouts
Disks should be clearly labelled with the following information:
1. Journal title
2. Name of author
3. File names contained on disk
4. Hardware used (PC or Mac)
5. Software used (name and version)
Sample disk label: text
|
Journal title |
|
A.N. Author |
|
article.doc |
|
IBM PC |
|
MS Word for Windows 7.0 |
2. A guide for authors using LaTeX mathematical software packages
Authors who wish to prepare their articles using the LaTeX document preparation system are advised to use article.sty (for LaTex 2.09) or article.cls (for LaTex2e).
The use of macros should be kept to an absolute minimum but if any are used they should be gathered together in the file, just before the \begin{document} command
You should send the following to the Editor:
- a 3.5-inch disk containing the final, accepted version of the paper
- the files you send must be text-only (often called an ASCII file), with no system-dependent control codes
- two hard copy printouts
Disks should be clearly labelled with the following information:
1. Journal title
2. Name of author
3. File names contained on disk
4. Hardware used (PC or Mac)
5. Software used (name and version)
Sample disk label: LaTeX
|

|
A.N. Author |

IBM PC |
|
PCLaTeX v2.09 |
3. A guide for authors using graphics software packages
We welcome figures on disk, but care and attention to these guidelines is essential, as importing graphics packages can often be problematic.
1. Figures must be saved on a separate disk from the text.
2. Avoid the use of colour and tints for aesthetic reasons. Figures should be produced as near to the finished size as possible.
3. High quality reproducible hard copy for all line figures (printed out from your electronic files at a minimum of 600 dpi) must be supplied in case the disks are unusable; photographs and transparencies can be accepted as hard copy only. Photocopies will not be accepted.
4. All figures must be numbered in the order in which they occur (e.g. figure 1, figure 2 etc.). In multi-part figures, each part should be labelled (e.g. figure 1 (a), figure 1 (b) etc.)
5. The figure captions must be saved as a separate file with the text and numbered correspondingly.
6. The filename for the graphic should be descriptive of the graphic e.g. Figure1, Figure 2a.
7. Files should be saved as TIFF (tagged image file format), PostScript or EPS (encapsulated PostScript), containing all the necessary font information and the source file of the application (e.g., CorelDraw/Mac, CorelDraw/PC).
Disks should be clearly labelled with the following information:
1. Journal title
2. Name of author
3. Figures contained on disk
4. Hardware used (PC or Mac)
5. Software used (name and version)
Sample disk label: figures
