About the journal
|
Started in 1963, Indian Journal of Chemistry was bifurcated into two independent journals, Sections A and B, in 1976. Of these, Indian Journal of Chemistry, Sec A publishes papers in synthetic and structural inorganic chemistry, bio-inorganic chemistry, inorganic reaction mechanisms, solid state chemistry, thermodynamics, spectroscopy, theoretical & quantum chemistry, nuclear chemistry, polymers, catalysis and analytical chemistry. Original contributions are published as rapid communications, full papers and short notes. State-of-Art reports on contemporary research are published under the section "advances in Contemporary Research" |
Instructions to Authors
The Journal and Editorial Policy
The Indian Journal of Chemistry, Section A (Indian J Chem, Sec A.), a monthly journal, publishes results of experimental and theoretical studies in Inorganic, Bioinorganic, Physical, Theoretical and Analytical Chemistry.
In view of ever increasing number of articles being submitted for publication, it is not possible to publish all the received manuscripts due to pressing space limitations. Every endeavour, therefore, is made to select for publication only those contributions which are timely, original and report work of quality and significance. Acceptance for publication is subject to positive recommendation from the referees. The contributions must not have appeared elsewhere. Contributions in which the primary interest is for workers in agriculture, pharmacology or applied chemistry, should be submitted to appropriate specialised journals in these fields.
In case of an article having more than one author, all correspondence regarding it will be made with the senior author or the author who has communicated the article.
Types of Contributions
Manuscripts will be considered for publication as Rapid Communications, Papers, Notes or reviews under the column "Advances in Contemporary Research". In addition, Book Reviews are also published in the Journal.
Rapid Communications: Work of current interest, reporting novel chemistry, which is likely to stimulate other workers in the field and needs to be brought to the attention of research workers expeditiously will be considered for publication as Rapid Communication. The Rapid Communications should be brief and accompanied by a note in duplicate justifying urgent publication. Every effort will be made to publish an accepted communication within 6‑8 weeks of its receipt.
Papers: Contributors are encouraged to submit detailed accounts of the results of complete and definitive studies. Publication of results in a fragmented form should be avoided. Instead of submitting separate papers on closely related studies, the results should be consolidated in a single paper. This will help in a better overall appreciation of the work. Papers based on work previously reported as brief communications will be considered only if they represent a substantial amplification.
Notes: Articles which describe results of either routine investigations having only data value or a study of limited scope, or an unusual observation of interest are considered as Notes. These should be concise and devoid of well‑known experimental details and should conform to the following pattern: (1) Title; (2) names (s) of authors (s) along with address(es); (3) a brief abstract; (4) previous work and reference(s) only; and (5) a brief mention of the present work giving only the pertinent data. Examples are: stability constants of metal chelates by well‑known methods, use of organic compounds in analytical chemistry, complex formation and routine kinetic studies.
Brief notes in solution chemistry reporting determination of stability constants of routine systems using well‑established techniques should contain data on a number of related systems. Data on one or two metalligand systems are not considered for independent publication. Kinetic investigations on well‑known systems with minor modifications in reaction conditions, viz., permutations of oxidants/reductants will not be considered unless radically different mechanisms are operating.
Advances in Contemporary Research: Short reviews of contemporary research in various fields of Inorganic, Physical, Theoretical and Analytical Chemistry will be considered under this section. Ideal length of the review is 20‑25 manuscript pages. Focus should be on critical coverage of available information on newer concepts and techniques rather than mere listing of literature. Future possibilities should also be discussed. Brief biographical sketches and photographs of the authors should accompany the manuscript
Book Reviews: These are usually written on invitation. However, unsolicited reviews can also be considered if the books reviewed are appropriate for the readership of the journal.
Organisation and Layout of the Manuscript
Manuscripts must be typewritten double‑spaced on one side only of a white paper, preferably bond paper. The original and two carbon copies should be submitted to the Editor, Indian Journal of Chemistry, Sec. A, National Institute of Science Communication, Dr K. S. Krishnan Marg, New Delhi 110 012. While typing a manuscript, a sufficient margin, at least 4 cm (1.5 in) must be left on all sides of each page. The list of references, footnotes, tables, abstract and figure captions must also be typewritten and double‑spaced on separate sheets of paper.
The material should be presented in the following order: (i) Title of paper; (ii) Name(s) of author(s); (iii) Institute and address of author(s); (iv) Graphical abstract; (v) Abstract; (vi) Introduction; (vii) Experimental; (viii) Results and Discussion; and (ix) References. Title: It should be useful in indexing and information retrieval. If a paper forms part of a series, a sub‑title indicating the aspects of the work covered in the paper should be provided. The title of an article should involve names and not formulae of chemical substances and should not contain abbreviations. A short title suitable for use as a running title should also be supplied.
Authorship: List the initials and surnames of all the authors, elaborating an initial only if it is necessary for identification. Give the complete mailing address where work has been performed. If the present address is different include the information in a footnote. The author for correspondence should be indicated by (*). The email address of the author for correspondence may be included, if available.
Graphical Abstract: As a part of the contents page, the graphical abstract will appear independently of the main paper. Its purpose is to indicate, preferably through a graphic, the chemistry reported in the paper and arouse reader's interest. It should be brief and to the point.
Abstract: The abstract should indicate the scope of the work and principal findings of the paper. It should normally not exceed 3% of the length of the paper.
lntroduction: The introduction should place the work in proper perspective and clearly state the objectives. The background discussion should be brief and restricted to pertinent material; extensive reviews of previous work should be avoided and documentation of the literature should be selective rather than exhaustive, particularly if reviews can be cited.
Experimental: It should be as concise as possible in description. General reaction conditions should be given only once. Details which do not contribute to a better understanding of the procedures should be avoided.
Data: Only primary data essential for following the discussion and the main conclusions emerging from the study should be included. Secondary data may be retained by the authors for supply on demand.
Infrared, ultraviolet, NMR and mass spectra and DTA and TG curves, etc., are not included unless they are essential for the discussion, e.g., papers dealing primarily with interpretation of spectra and those in which band shape or fine structure need to be illustrated. Otherwise significant numerical data should be cited in the text, if they provide new information. In the case of a series of similar type of compounds, listing of the spectroscopic data for all the compounds may not be necessary.
Tables: Tables must be typed on separate sheets of paper without any text matter on the page, numbered serially in Arabic numerals and should bear brief titles. Column headings should be brief. Units of measurement should be abbreviated and placed below the headings and SI Units should be used as far as possible. Nil results should be indicated and distinguished clearly from the absence of data. Inclusion of structural formulae inside the tables should be avoided as far as possible. Tables should be referred to in the text by numbers.
Illustrations: All illustrations must be numbered consecutively in Arabic numerals. Line drawings should be made with India ink on white drawing paper (preferably Bristol board), cellophane sheet or tracing cloth. In addition to the originals, a set of blue prints or photostat copies should be sent. For satisfactory reproduction, the graphs and line drawings, should be drawn to approximately twice the printed size. The size of letters, numbers, dots, lines, etc., should be sufficiently large to permit reduction to the page ( 6 inches) or the column size (3.4 inches) as required in the journal without loss of details. Numbers or lettering should be stenciled and inked in. In the case of photographs, prints must be or glossy paper and show good contrast. If an illustration is taken from another publication, reference to the source should be given and prior permission secured. Illustrations should be protected by thick cardboard packin' against creases, folds and broken corners during transit
Illustrations should be referred to in the text by numbers and not by terms like 'above', 'preceding' or 'following'.
Structuralformulae: The number of structural formulae should be restricted to the minimum and included only if the purpose is not adequately served by chemical or common names. Structural formulae should be numbered in sequence and referred to in the text by their numbers. Reaction schemes should be numbered as schemes or charts and should be referred to in the text as 'Scheme 1' or 'Chart 1', etc., and not by expressions like 'below' . 'above', 'preceding' or 'following'.
Nomenclature: The nomenclature should conform to the Definitive Rules for Nomenclature of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry and the practices of Chemical Abstracts. Some pertinent references are:
(i) Nomenclature of inorganic chemistry, 3rd edn.,
(Blackwell, Oxford) 1990; Indian edition (Jain, Interscience, Delhi) 1994, "Red Book".
(ii) Quantities, units and symbols in physical chemistry, 2nd edn., (Blackwell, Oxford) 1993, "Green
Book".
