About the journal
Pure and Applied Chemistry
As IUPAC's official journal, Pure and Applied Chemistry publishes the text of authoritative lectures delivered by prominent scientists at IUPAC symposia and specially commissioned review articles on important topics within the field. In addition, the Journal publishes the recommendations, technical reports on standardization, recommended procedures, data compilations, and collaborative studies of IUPAC bodies.
|
The objectives of the Journal are:
- to publish the recommendations of the Union's commissions on nomenclature, symbols and units.
- to publish technical reports on standardization, recommended procedures, collaborative studies, data compilations, etc.

to publish critically evaluated state-of-the-art commissioned review articles on important topics in chemistry.
to publish the main invited lectures of symposia and conferences sponsored by IUPAC at which authoritative and up-to-date accounts of the subject of the symposium are presented by prominent scientists; these lecturers review their own work and give an overview of the literature on the subject.
Instructions to Authors
Manuscripts should be submitted in the first instance to the Conference Editor. Authors will be asked to supply their manuscript on disk. A submission template and instructions are available on the Union's web site or can be obtained from the IUPAC Secretariat (E-mail: <edit.pac@iupac.org>). If you cannot use the submission template, follow the instructions for setting up your file.
- Include all parts of the paper in a single file if possible.
- If illustrations are supplied electronically, also include them in separate files and printed on separate pages.
- The final version of the hard copy and the file on disk must be the same.
- Do not use the carriage return (enter) at the end of lines within a paragraph.
- Turn the hyphenation option off.
- Do not use the endnote feature for references.
- Do not number headings.
- Complete and enclose the Information Sheet.
- On the Information Sheet, specify any special characters used to represent non-keyboard characters and the font used to generate the characters.
- Take care not to use l (ell) for 1 (one), O (capital o) for 0 (zero), or ?(German esszett) for b (beta).
- Use a tab, not spaces, to separate data points in tables.
- If you use a table editor function, ensure that each data point is contained within a unique cell; i.e., do not use carriage returns within cells.
Accompanying hard copy material should be printed in single (1.1) spacing on one side only of the paper. Two copies of text, illustrations, tables, and any other matter should be sent to the Conference Editor.
Submission of a manuscript will be regarded as assurance that the same material is not being considered for publication by another journal.
Electronic file submission
In addition to the hard copy (printout), submit your manuscript on IBM- or Macintosh-compatible diskettes (3?inch). We can easily accept Microsoft Word or WordPerfect files. However, if your manuscript was created in another word processing program, please submit an ASCII version of the files in addition to the word processing files.
If the illustrations have been prepared electronically, we will try to make use of the electronic files; however, we may have to scan the illustrations from the hard copy.
In addition to including your illustrations in the text file, please submit the illustrations as separate files (with descriptive file names that correspond to the figure number) in the following formats.
Macintosh: TIFF
IBM PC: TIF
(Note: PDF files should only be submitted as an example of what the illustration or text looks like. Images in PDF files cannot be extracted for use in the print version.)
Preparation of Papers
Information Sheet
Complete the Information Sheet, giving the name and dates of the Conference; the full title of the contribution; the name, full address, fax number, and e-mail address of the author to whom queries should be sent; the file name and properties of the corresponding file; the number of pages and illustrations; a short title if the full title comprises more than 60 characters (the short title will be inserted by the publisher as a running head at the top of the printed page); and up to eight keywords.
Abstract
Include a short abstract (not more than 200 words).
Illustration
One set of original drawings or sharp photographs should be supplied with the copy, even if they are supplied in electronic form and embedded in the article. Do not send photocopies of photo-graphs. All separate illustrations should be identified with a figure number.
Illustrations will be reproduced in black and white only, unless the author pays for color reproduction. If the figures are originally in color, be sure they can also be understood by the reader in black and white format (for example, do not refer to color elements in the caption).
Figures
Lettering, numbering, and symbols in the figures must be clear and suitable for reduction to single or double column width. Lettering and lines on graphs should also be strong enough to withstand reduction. Chemical schemes, etc., should be supplied as standard figures, and, in all cases, the figure must be accompanied by a title and/or legend that describes the illustration.
Figures should be numbered serially throughout the paper in Arabic numerals and should be cited in the text at first occurrence. The word 'Figure' should be shortened to 'Fig.' at the beginning of figure captions and in the text, except where the word 'Figure' begins a sentence.
Photographs
If you cannot scan photographs and embed them in the text, identify the figure number on back of glossy prints (preferably with good contrast). Place figure legend in the text where you prefer to place the photograph.
Structural formulas
Formulas should be prepared with particular care, preferably with a suitable computer program. They may be numbered with italic or underlined Arabic numerals. Within reason, these numbers may be used in the text to avoid repetition of long chemical names. Structural formulas should be presented in groups where feasible to improve presentation and save space.
Tables
Tables should not be used more than is necessary and, in particular, they should not duplicate results that are presented in graphical form. Tables should be numbered serially throughout the paper in Arabic numerals and should be cited in the text at first occurrence. Table headings should appear above the table with one line space between the heading and the table. The word 'Table' should be boldface, and the table heading should be typed with an initial capital for the first word and proper nouns only. If necessary, a font size smaller than 9 point may be used.
Mathematical expressions and chemical equations
Mathematical expressions and chemical equations should be indented on the left, with space above and below, and should be numbered in parentheses flush right.

kp = A ?exp(-EA / R ?T) |
(1) |
Simple mathematical expressions should be left in the text, written in one line instead of in two-line form wherever possible to avoid awkward line spacing. Use additional half line spaces as needed to ensure that mathematical expressions in the text do not overlap preceding or succeeding lines.
For additional information on quantity calculus or quantity algebra and on percents and per mils, see IUPAC Interdivisional Committee on Terminology, Nomenclature, and Symbols, February 2002; available online at <http://www.iupac.org/standing/ictns/quantity_and_ percents.html>
Numbers
Numbers should be printed in roman (upright) fonts. Numerical values of physical quantities (and the symbols of units) should be printed in roman even in italic texts.
The decimal marker for IUPAC publications in English should be a point on the line. For many-digit numbers the digits should be grouped in threes around the decimal marker with a space* between the groups, but never leaving a single digit on its own.

* It is best to use a nonbreaking space of constant width (in MS Word under Windows, use ctrl-shift-space, or under Mac OS, use command-space) which also prevents the splitting of numbers on line breaks.
References
All references should be mentioned in the text or captions. They should be typed in brackets, e.g., [41], in sequence. References appear at the end of the paper in numerical order. Inclusive page numbers are desirable.
Examples of formats are shown below. Abbreviations of journal titles should agree with usage by Chemical Abstracts (see Chemical Abstracts Service Source Index, 1907-1994 Cumulative, American Chemical Society, Columbus, Ohio, 1994).

Footnotes should be used sparingly and referred to in the text in parentheses as (Note a), etc.
Only references to articles in journals, books, and issued patents will be permitted. Meeting abstracts and patent applications may not be quoted unless they are published in a form that is available for library reference.
Nomenclature
All symbols for physical quantities should be set in italic (sloping) type, and symbols for units should be set in roman (upright) type. Quantity symbols may be qualified by subscripts or by further information in parentheses; subscripts should themselves be in italic type when they represent physical quantities, and otherwise in roman type. Quantity calculus should be used in presenting the values of physical quantities, according to which quantity symbols are always set equal to (numerical value) x (unit). See the examples below and the IUPAC Green Book (ref. 1, list below) for further examples.
p = 0.123 mbar = 12.3 Pa = 12.3 N m-2 or p/Pa = 12.3
r = 2.13 ?= 0.213 nm or r/nm = 0.213
k = 108.2 s-1 or lg(k/s-1) = 8.2
Note particularly the use of an italic font for quantity symbols such as p, r, and k, and the use of an upright font for unit symbols such as Pa, mbar, m, nm, and s. The format (quantity symbol)/(unit), as in r/nm = 0.213, is particularly convenient for heading the columns of tables and labeling the axes of graphs, so that the entries in the table columns or the labels on the tick marks of the graph may be pure numbers. The symbols lg and ln should be used for log10 and loge, respectively. (For additional information, see On the use of italic and roman fonts for symbols in scientific text, I. M. Mills and W. V. Metanomski, IUPAC Interdivisional Committee on Nomenclature and Symbols, January 2000; available online at http://www.iupac.org/standing/idcns/fonts_for_symbols.html)
