About the journal
|
The Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology A: Chemistry (JPPA) welcomes the following types of papers: Original Papers not previously published - Preliminary Notes. - Short Reviews.
Papers and Short Reviews may be concerned with either quantitative or qualitative aspects of photochemistry. Organic, inorganic and coordination systems are all treated. The scope includes the physical chemistry of excited atoms or molecules, studies of electronic-energy transfer, quantum-yield determinations and kinetic measurements made under stationary or non-stationary conditions, measurements of rate constants for primary or secondary photochemical processes, studies of absorption or emission spectroscopy applied to photochemistry, mechanistic investigations of photochemical reactions based on product analysis or energy-transfer studies, identification of the products of photochemical reactions, and studies related to the photochemical conversion and storage of solar energy and to atmospheric photochemistry. Papers relating to applied photochemistry are also published. This field includes studies of photoinitiation of polymerization, photo-cross-linking, photodegradation or photostabilization of polymers, photohalogenation, chemical aspects of photography and the design of photoreactors.
Preliminary Notes will describe work that is not yet completed, but that needs, for some reason, to be published in its preliminary form. Manuscripts submitted for consideration in this category must be accompanied by a reasoned justification of the need for urgent publication. This justification will be used by the Editors in deciding whether preliminary publication should be permitted, or whether the authors should be asked to submit a full paper when their research is completed.
Short Review articles are occasionally published, and suggestions of suitable topics are welcomed. Prospective authors should, however, discuss with one of the Editors the content and length of a proposed review before embarking on its preparation. Extensive Reviews should be considered for publication in the Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology C: Photochemistry Reviews.

Instructions to Authors
Guide for Authors
Welcome to the Elsevier online submission service. This service has been designed to be as easy as possible to use. Authors can upload their article as a LaTeX, Microsoft?(MS) Word?/B> or WordPerfect?/B>. It is also possible to submit an article in PostScript or Adobe?Acrobat?PDF format, but if the article is accepted it will be necessary to send in the original source files.
The system generates an Adobe Acrobat PDF version of the article which is used for the reviewing process. Authors, Reviewers and Editors send and receive all correspondence by e-mail and no paper correspondence is necessary. Note: articles are converted into PDF for the review process but may be edited after acceptance to follow journal standards.

Journal specific guidelines on types of article accepted and how to prepare your article can be found in the Author Gateway journal page, in the Guide for Authors.
Word Processor Formats
Please submit your article as a file in one of the following formats:
- MS Word 6
- MS Word 97
- MS Word 98 for Macintosh?
- MS Word 2000
- WordPerfect 6.1 or higher
- RTF
Important notes on word processor file preparation
- For review purposes you must submit your article as a SINGLE FILE. You need to embed all your figures and tables within this file.
- Fonts: Please choose Times, Times New Roman, Courier, Arial or Helvetica fonts as much as possible. Other fonts (e.g. Chinese, Japanese and Korean (CJK) character fonts) may cause the PDF conversion to fail. If your manuscript does not correctly convert to PDF, replace the font(s) where necessary and try again.
- Most formatting codes will be removed or replaced on processing your article so there is no need for you to apply excessive layout styling. In addition, avoid options such as automatic word breaking, justified layout, double columns, automatic paragraph numbering (especially for numbered references). However, do use bold face, italic, subscripts, superscripts, etc.
- For the production of your article you will also have to submit your graphic files separately as high resolution graphics. (See also the section on Electronic Artwork below.)
LaTex
For general instructions on how to prepare an article using LaTeX, see the Latex file guidelines. In addition, please note the following:
- Include all your graphics in the LaTeX file, e.g. with the \includegraphics from the graphics package.
- Submit any special class (or style) files and other macro files with your article. We are using an up-to-date TeX installation (TeXLive5d), so you need not include any of the standard packages.
PDF
If possible, please submit the original LaTeX or word processor files: this website will take care of converting them into a PDF file.
If you wish to create your own PDF, download the ES_review.joboptions to the "Settings" folder of your Acrobat Distiller and choose the "ES_review" joboptions before converting your file.
Note: This joboptions file is for Adobe Distiller v4.05 and later. If you are still working with an older version, or if you need more help, see. PDF settings .
File naming
To avoid confusion, please make sure your file has a short, descriptive name. Short means less than 30 characters and descriptive means names like figure1.tif and smith-article-version1.doc.
For the production of your paper in the journal we need high-resolution graphic files in either TIFF or EPS. For information on how to prepare your artwork for electronic submission, see http://authors.elsevier.com/artwork.
- Find the journal on the Author Gateway by searching or browsing
- Read the 'Guide for Authors' for specific instructions on submitting a paper to that journal
- Click on the 'online submisssion' link in the right hand journal services box
- Log in if you are already a registered user (if you are not already a registered user you need to 'create a profile' by submitting your contact details and choosing a username/password combination). This creates a completely secure environment to send your paper to us online.
- Once you are logged in you are taken to the Journal's submission page where you choose to 'Submit New Paper'. You are taken through the following steps:
- Enter data related to your manuscript (Title, Authors, Keywords etc.)
- Choose the accepting Editor. (if the Journal has more than one Editor, you will find a drop-down list with the names of all the Editors of this Journal to whom you may submit your article. The journal Guide for Authors will give you more information on how to decide which Editor to choose)
- Upload your manuscript file(s). See the section on File Formats for more information.
- The website creates a PDF from your source file(s). You must check this PDF as it will be sent to the reviewers. If the PDF is not OK edit and resubmit your source file(s) or contacts author support for advice - PDF/PostScript source can be submitted as well as LaTeX/Word Processor files.
- Upload your figures separately for the production process and select how you want your figures to appear in print (colour or black and white). If the figures are too large (>5 Mb) you may send manually direct to the editor.
- Check your submission details are correct and press submit to send your files to the journal editor
- You will receive an acknowledgement email to say the paper is under review
- Until the review process is completed you will not be able to update your submission from the website. If you have made a mistake you must contact the editor.
If revision is required:
- You will receive an email from the editor
- You can revise your paper by using the link in the email which takes you back to the online submission service (when revising your paper all the previous information is retained - no retyping is needed but it can be updated and new files attached). Alternatively you can access the paper directly from the Journal's online submission page or from 'my home' on the Author Gateway.
- Make any changes necessary and add or remove figures/other files
- A revised PDF is created which is sent to the editor at the end of the process and you receive an acknowledgement email
- Once your new version is submitted you will not be able to make any further revisions from the website
After submission
