About the journal
  Natural Product Reports is a bimonthly journal of critical reviews. It aims to stimulate progress in the study of natural products chemistry by providing regular and comprehensive reviews of the relevant literature published during well-defined periods. This coverage is augmented by frequent reviews of the wider context of bioorganic chemistry and chemical biology, including developments in enzymology, nucleic acids, genetics, chemical ecology, primary and secondary metabolism, and isolation and analytical techniques, which will be of general interest to all workers in the area. Occasional articles by eminent scientists provide an important historical perspective describing major developments from the personal viewpoint of those involved.
Natural Product Reports is cited by various abstracting services, including the following:
Bibliography of Agriculture, Biochemistry & Biophysics Citation, Chemistry Citation Index, Current Advances in Ecological and Environmental Sciences, Current Advances in Plant Science, Current Contents, Current Chemical Reactions, Index Medicus, Index to Scientific Reviews, Methods in Organic Synthesis, Reaction Citation Index, Research Alert (Philadelphia), Science Citation Index.
Instructions to Authors
Image quality
- Illustrations should be supplied as electronic files which conform to the guidelines given in the Acceptable formats section of the Electronic Files homepage.
- If illustrations are unavailable in electronic format, high quality originals should be sent as hardcopy. Photocopies and printouts from inkjet printers are rarely suitable for print reproduction.
Image size
- Illustrations should fit within either single column (8.3 cm) or double column (17.1 cm) width, and must be no longer than 23.3 cm.
- Artwork should be submitted at its final size so that reduction is not required.
Text in illustrations
- Lettering should be in 7 point Arial font (or Helvetica if Arial is unavailable).
- Labelled atoms in ORTEP (or other) diagrams should have (selected) atom numbers in parentheses, e.g. Cl(1), C(12).
- For graphs, axis labels should use SI units, separated from quantities with a solidus ( ' / ' ) not parentheses, e.g.
/nm, T/K; percent (%) and parts per million (ppm), however, should be given in parentheses.
- Units should be in the form, e.g. g cm-3 rather than g/cm3.
- Symbols representing physical quantities should be given in italics, e.g. E/V, t/s.
- Curves should be labelled (A), (B), (C) etc. and parts of figures (a), (b), (c) etc., and further information given in the figure legend.
Line drawings
- Lines should be black, of an adequate and even thickness (e.g. 1 pt) and curves should be smooth.
- Broken, dotted and dash-dot lines can be used.
- Particular care should be taken to ensure that the lines in spectra are of an adequate thickness.
- Mark data points on graphs with simple geometric symbols:
    .
- Avoid shading (tints) that simulate grey and use cross-hatching if appropriate.
Structural formulae
- Structural formulae should ideally be prepared with chemistry drawing software (e.g. ChemDraw, ChemWindows, ISIS/Draw), using the settings given below.

- Number structures with bold arabic numerals, e.g. 1, 2.
- Schemes and structures should be drawn to make best use of single and double column widths.
Colour
- Colour should only be used where scientifically necessary, unless otherwise stated for a specific journal.
- Avoid shading (tints) and use solid, clearly distinct colours.
Photographs
- Please provide either high quality digital images (see Acceptable formats) or original prints. Computer print-outs or photocopies will not reproduce well enough for publication.
- Colour photographs rarely reproduce satisfactorily in black and white.
