About the journal
|
The Journal of Near Infrared Spectroscopy (JNIRS) aims to publish original research papers, short communications, review articles and letters concerned with near infrared spectroscopy and technology, its application, new instrumentation and the use of chemometric and data handling techniques within NIR. JNIRS will accept contributions from all areas of applications where near infrared spectroscopy is in use, such as:
- Agriculture
- Chemical Industry
- Food
- Life Sciences
- Pharmaceuticals
- Process Control
- Polymers
- Textiles

Instructions to Authors
Topics for papers may include:
- Chemometrics
- Calibrations
- Diffuse Reflection
- NIR Imaging
- On-Line Use
- Fibre Optics
- Sampling
- Spectroscopy
- Instrumentation
- Remote Sensing
Types of article
All articles should be written in English and will be subject to a refereeing process. Letters may be accepted for publication following review by the Editor or a Subject/Regional Editor alone.
Original research papers should report, in detail, the results of the author(s)’s work in a particular area of research. This work should have been completed or a substantial and identifiable part of it should have been completed.
Short communications can be used to report significant results from incomplete work and to report completed work which does not require the full coverage of a research paper. Short communications should be restricted to 1500 words in length.
Review articles will normally be commissioned by the Editor or one of the Regional or Subject Editors. However, should you be interested in reviewing a particular area, you are welcome to discuss this with the Editor or your local Regional or Subject Editor. Review articles should provide a comprehensive coverage of the area reviewed with extensive references to published work.
Letters can either express the view of the author on a particular aspect of NIR spectroscopy and technology that they wish to comment on, or can very briefly report an interesting aspect of the author’s work: perhaps details of a calibration or a sampling procedure.
The manuscript
A typewritten (or computer printed) manuscript should be submitted along with two copies. The original illustrations and two copies of these should be included.
It is important to remember that the manuscript is going to be read by referees. Please assist them by observing the following specification.
Use Times or Times New Roman with a font size of at least 12. The typewritten manuscript should be double line spaced with generous margins and typed on one side of the sheet only. Please number the pages and use the line number option if your word processor has it.
JNIRS is computer typeset and authors are encouraged to include a computer-readable version of their manuscript. This not only can speed up the publication of the article but also reduces the possibility for errors and reduces the proof reading burden for author and publisher alike. We can read most common PC word processor files, but authors should always include a plain ASCII text file with no formatting. Your manual will instruct you how to create this, if you have problems please contact the Publishers who will be pleased to assist you.
If you are unable to provide the manuscript on disk, please provide a clean (without any marks) top copy and mark your corrections, symbols etc. on one of the copies.
We can also accept illustrations in computer readable form, such as TIFF, PCX or EPS format. However, the size of these files makes their transfer difficult. If your instrument can produce the data points in a two (or more) column format, you can include this on disk and we can use this to graph your figures for the best quality reproduction.
IN ALL CASES, please do not rely on the computer-readable form alone. Supply a good quality hard copy as well and preferably the manuscript in a variety of formats. A belt and braces approach to all matters concerning computers is advisable!
Symbols, mathematics and formulae
This is an area where care should be exercised. Please ensure that all symbols are identified in the margin the first time they appear. You should use SI units whenever possible.
Please use the following conventions: all symbols which are variables should be italicised, all constants should be normal (Roman) text and vectors should be bold. Whilst most word processors can italicise and embolden, please mark each case by hand by underlining it with a straight line in the case of italics and by a wavy line in the case of bold.
Please take care that the difference between 1 (the number one) and l (the letter “ell? and between 0 (zero) and O (the letter “oh?, are clear. Please identify them in the margin if they are not clear.
If you need to hand write complex formulae, this is acceptable but take care that the symbols used are clear and that it is easy to see what levels of sub- and superscript apply.
Units
Units of measurement should be separated from the number by a space. Please avoid the use of the solidus (/) or “per?and use a superscript ?, i.e. 5 mg L?, not 5 mg/L.
References
References should be cited in the text by a superscript Arabic number, i.e. spectroscopy,1 and listed at the end of the article. Please give full bibliographical information as in the examples below:

It is the responsibility of the author to ensure that permission is obtained from the copyright holder to reproduce copyright material. The copyright holder is almost always the publisher of the work. Forms for this purpose are available from the Editor and from NIR Publications. Copies of any signed Permission Forms should accompany the manuscript and the necessary wording of acknowledgement requested by the copyright holder should be included in the caption.
Abstract
A short abstract not exceeding 350 words should be included. This should describe the scope of the article and highlight any significant areas.
Keywords
Up to 10 Keywords should be included.
Illustrations
Illustrations must be produced ready for publication.
Original illustrations should be provided. Photocopies (unless of very good quality) are not acceptable, nor are spectra drawn on a dot matrix printer. Labels on the axes should be clear and of sufficient size that they will be legible when reduced to fit on the page, i.e. a font size of at least 8 pt when produced at one column width. (This requires a font size of at least 20 pt if the figure is drawn full size on A4 paper. Note that ordinate and abscissa scales should be equal for equal values. Referees expect to see square plots of results of, for instance, “predicted?versus “reference method? Please use Times font. The amount of text on the illustration should be kept to a minimum. Keys for different line styles etc. should be given in the caption; not on the illustration.
Illustrations should be numbered in the text with Arabic numerals as Figure 1, Figure 4 and 5 etc.; they should be in a separate sequence from any tables. Captions should be provided for all figures and these should appear at the end of the manuscript.
Each illustration should be provided on a separate sheet and should not be folded. Please label each sheet with the Figure number, author(s) and title of the paper.
Photographs can be published but they must be of good photographic quality and supplied as black-and-white glossy prints. Colour illustrations can only be included if the author meets the extra cost of their production.
Tables
Tables should be numbered in a separate sequence from the illustrations as Table 1 etc. Please consider the size of the page when compiling your Table. Tables should not be split width-wise across pages, although if they exceed a page in length they can be continued on subsequent pages.
Tables should be provided on separate sheets and not included in the text. Each Table should have a caption. As with illustrations, please number each sheet and include the author(s) and title of the paper.
Copyright
Authors are required to assign the copyright in their article to the Publisher. A completed and signed Copyright Form must be lodged with the Publisher before the article can be published.
Submission of articles
Your article should be sent to the Editor or one of the Regional Editors whose addresses appear below.
Please use the “Check List?at the end of these instructions before posting your article.
Receipt of the articles will be acknowledged, and the article will be subjected to a peer review process; should any amendments be necessary you will be asked to make these before the article is accepted for publication.
After acceptance, your article will be copy-edited, typeset and proofed to the first named author (unless otherwise requested). The proof should be checked carefully for typographical errors and to answer any questions raised by the Copy Editor. The proof stage is not an opportunity for the author to make changes to the article. Any significant changes from the original accepted manuscript may only be accepted on payment of the correction costs.
