- BIOETHICS
Authors submitting a manuscript containing in vivo animal work should submit details of all relevant Ethics Committee approval and authorization (eg institute and/or government)and all relevant reference numbers. Details will be printed as a footnote to the paper.
- STYLE AND LAYOUT OF PAPERS
Authors are advised to consult a recent issue of the Journal for guidance on style and layout. Although no absolute limit of length is prescribed, papers and review articles submitted for publication should be presented as briefly as possible, having regard to the considerations below. Short papers (1000?000 words) are welcome and will be given the same attention as longer papers.
All papers must be written in clear, concise English. In general, research papers should be in the impersonal form. For guidance, writers may find it helpful to consult Writing a Scientific Paper and Speaking at a Scientific Meeting by V Booth (Biochemical Society, 1981) and Writing Scientific Papers in English by M O'Connor and FP Woodward (Elsevier, Amsterdam, 1976). Non-English speaking authors who do not have a good command of English are advised to seek assistance from someone who has.
Papers submitted to the Journal should conform as far as possible to the pattern set out below, although unnecessary standardization is undesirable and due allowance should be made for the type of subject matter.
Title This should be concise and explanatory of the nature of the paper. If the paper was given, wholly or in part, at a scientific meeting, this should be stated in a footnote.
Short title An abbreviated title of up to 80 characters should also be provided.
Authors' names These should include one forename of each author spelt in full and the address where the work was carried out. The name, address, phone and fax numbers (and an e-mail address where available) of the corresponding author should be indicated clearly.
Abstract This should appear at the start of the paper, give a brief but informative summary of the contents and conclusions and refer to new information contained in the paper. It should be intelligible without reference to the paper itself.
Key words Appropriate key words (4-6) should be provided for indexing and abstracting.
Nomenclature If numerous symbols, letters and abbreviations are used in the text they should be listed for easy reference with their explanations. (See also Section f below.)
Introduction This should state the problem investigated, the aim of the work and previous relevant work with appropriate references, and indicate clearly the advance in knowledge.
Experimental The methods and materials used should be stated clearly in sufficient detail to permit the work to be repeated by others, if desired. Only new techniques need be described in detail; known methods must be adequately referenced.
Results These should be presented concisely, with tables or illustrations for clarity. Adequate indication of the level of experimental error and the statistical significance of the results should be given. The number of illustrations, graphs and chemical formulae used must be kept to a minimum, and only in exceptional cases will tables and graphs derived from the same data be accepted for publication. Supplementary spectroscopic and other data may, on the recommendation of a referee, be deposited free of charge with the British Library, Boston Spa, Wetherby, Yorks LS23 7BQ, UK. (The paper quotes the code number of the microfiche on which the supplementary material is reproduced.)
Headings Authors should distinguish clearly between main and subsidiary headings.
Discussion This section should discuss the significance of the findings without repetition of the material in the Introduction and Results sections. The Results and Discussion sections may be combined when this would simplify the presentation.
Acknowledgements These should be kept to a minimum.
References It is most important that these should be checked carefully and be in the correct style. Authors should pay particular attention to the instructions given below (Section h).
- MANUSCRIPTS
(a) All manuscripts must be typed on A4 or 8? ?11" (216 mm x 280 mm) size paper in double spacing on one side of the paper only and adequate margins must be left. Each page should be numbered individually. The top copy and three others (xerographs or photocopies are adequate) should be submitted and one copy should be retained by the author. An electronic version (on a PC disk, MS Word 7 or lower) of the paper must be submitted at the same time.
(b) Tabular material must be clearly set out with the number of columns in each table kept to a minimum. Tables, numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals, must be typed on separate sheets, leaving sufficient space around the copy for printer's instructions. Tables must have concise headings that enable them to be comprehensible without reference to the main text.
(c) The original and three copies of each illustration should be provided. Number all illustrations consecutively with Arabic numerals and write the author's name and title of the paper on the back of each illustration using soft pencil. Keep lettering on illustrations to a minimum and include essential details in the legend. Legends and captions must be typed on a separate sheet and must enable each illustration to be comprehensible without reference to the main text of the paper.
Illustrations must also be submitted in electronic format. Save each figure as a separate file, in eps, ps, pdf or tif format preferably, and include the source file. Postal submissions should have the software package used to create the files written on the disc. Use dedicated illustration packages in preference to tools such as Excel or Powerpoint.
Hard copies of line drawings and figures must be in a form suitable for direct reproduction, supplied either as original drawings, in black ink, with stencilled lettering, on plain white paper, or as high quality black and white laser or ink jet prints. Handwritten or typewritten lettering is not acceptable. Computer-drawn diagrams must be prepared on a high quality laser or ink jet printer or plotter, not on a dot matrix printer or equivalent. Photocopied figures are not acceptable. The illustrations should preferably all require the same degree of reduction. The type area of the journal is 172 mm wide by 240 mm deep, in two columns per page, each 81 mm wide, and the lettering should therefore be large enough to be legible after reduction of the illustrations to fit the page width or column width. As a guide, figures are likely to be reduced to between three-quarters and one-half of the original dimensions.
Black and white photographs should be included only if essential. They must be submitted as glossy prints of good contrast. Do not allow them to be damaged by paper clips, folding, etc. (It is inevitable that some loss of clarity will occur during printing).
Please note: The journal does accept colour figures and photographs, but there is a charge to authors to cover the additional production costs involved in printing colour. Under exceptional circumstances, authors may request that these charges be waived. This must be provided, in writing, at the time of submission, and authors must justify to the Editor that inclusion of the figure(s) in colour is essential for interpretation of the results presented.
For online submission of figures see the guidelines for authors at: http://sci-wiley.manuscriptcentral.com.
(d) Footnotes should be kept to a minimum and indicated by asterisks and daggers (* ?.
(e) Number compounds with bold Arabic numerals (1, 2).
(f) Symbols, formulae and equations must be written with great care. Greek symbols must be named in the margin when first used. The symbols recommended in the various parts of the British Standard 1991 should be used. SI units should be used; these are described in, for example, the British Standards Publication PD 5686, The Use of SI Units. Please note: Although SI units are preferred, the use of litres (L) with the appropriate derivation is acceptable. For biochemical nomenclature, as far as possible, authors should follow the recommendations of the IUPAC-IUB Commission of Biochemical Nomenclature. Organic and inorganic chemical nomenclature should be based on the IUPAC lists, ie, Nomenclature of Organic Chemistry, Sections A, B and C, Butterworths, London, 1971, 2nd edition, and Nomenclature of Inorganic Chemistry, Butterworths, London. Chemicals when first used should be given the systematic name together with the trivial name or abbreviation in brackets, following which the trivial name/abbreviation can be used. For enzymes, authors are requested to quote the Enzyme Commission (EC) number and systematic name once in the abstract and once in the text, both times after the first mention of the enzyme. Trade names, where used, should be indicated and acknowledged as such.
(g) Plants, animals and microorganisms should be given their full binominal Latin name, in italic, in the title, abstract, headings and legends of tables and figures, and at the first mention in the text. A collection number, strain number or name should be quoted, eg Escherichia coli (K12). Thereafter abbreviate them in the text, eg E coli.
(h) References. Unpublished work should be referred to only in the text (Smith J, unpublished) (Brown CD, private communication). References to the literature should be indicated by numerical superscripts1 in order of appearance2,3 following any punctuation.4? References should be listed in numerical order at the end of the paper, giving all the authors with their initials after the respective surnames. Give the full title of the paper in the language in which it appeared or an accurate English translation. Journal titles should be abbreviated as in Chemical Abstracts or Biological Abstracts. If the journal is not included in these lists, then give the title in full.
Note carefully the style and order: author's surname, initial(s) of forename(s), paper title, journal title, volume number (in bold), first and last page numbers, year of publication (in brackets) eg:
- Patel TD and Bott TR, Oxygen diffusion through a developing biofilm of Pseudomonas fluorescens. J Chem Technol Biotechnol 52:187?99 (1991).
- Barros MRA, Oliveira AC and Cabral JMS, Integration of enzyme catalysis in an extractive fermentation process, in Biocatalysis in Organic Media, ed by Laane C, Tramper J and Lilly MD. Elsevier Science Publishers, Amsterdam, pp 185?96 (1987).
When quoting patents give the name of the applicant(s), the title, the country and patent number (or application number) and the year of publication, thus:
- Hegner MB and Wendt KL, Method of sorting seeds. UK Patent 1470133 (1977).
- PROOFS
The address to which the author's proofs are to be sent must be indicated clearly. Proofs will be despatched to the corresponding author. These must be corrected and returned to the publishers within 48 hours of receipt; failure to do this will result in delay in publication. Author's corrections must be restricted to printer's and/or factual errors.
- COPYRIGHT
All the author(s) must sign a Copyright Transfer Agreement, transferring copyright in the article to the Society of Chemical Industry, and submit the original signed agreement with the paper when presented for publication.
- OFFPRINTS
There are no page charges. Twenty-five offprints of each article are supplied free-of-charge. Additional offprints can be ordered at current printing prices.
- INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS FOR TECHNICAL NOTES
The aim of publishing Technical Notes is to provide the readers with useful information on techniques and processes that otherwise would not be published in the Journal because the paper does not comply with the requirements of providing novelty and significant advances in the subject. Technical Notes should be submitted to the online submission system at: http@sci-wiley.manuscriptscentral.com. Authors should specify that a paper is a Technical Note in the 'paper type' section when submitting online, and should include a note to the Editor detailing why the paper is of interest to the readership.
The format for a Technical Note is as follows:
- The maximum total manuscript length is 8 pages of A4 or 8.5" x 11", double spaced, font size not less than 11. This must include all tables, diagrams and references.
- The Note shall follow the normal format with:
a short abstract;
brief introduction;
details of experimental procedures, in sufficient detail to allow repetition;
results, either tabular or graphical, any diagrams must not be less than the width of a single column;
conclusions;
references.
Please note: Technical Notes will be subjected to peer review.
