About the journal
A new 'letters' journal, Catalysis Communications, aims to provide rapid publication of important short papers
across the broad spectrum of catalytic research covering homogeneous, heterogeneous and enzymatic catalysis.
'Letters' are intended as brief reports of significant, original and timely research results which warrant rapid publication.
A feature of this journal will be the online release of articles before the printed version is despatched.
Instructions to Authors
KEY GUIDELINES FOR AUTHORS
Abstract. All manuscripts require an abstract not exceeding 100 words.
References. A maximum of 35 single references is permitted; multiple references (referring to more than one paper) are to be avoided.
Figures. The manuscript should contain no more than 5 normal-sized figures.
Length. The manuscript should not exceed the equivalent of 2500 words including text, tables and figure captions (approximately 12 double-spaced pages).
Disk. Authors are required to submit a disk with an electronic file matching exactly the hard-copy of the final version of their manuscript. Authors employing LaTeX may download the general Elsevier style file from: http://www.elsevier.com/locate/latex
Submission. Manuscripts should be sent to the Editor-in-Chief or the Regional Editor. When submitting a manuscript, authors are urged to suggest the names of three appropriate referees.
Communication. The full postal address, fax number and e-mail address of the corresponding author must be given on the first (title) page of the manuscript.
Complete Instructions to Authors can be found below.
The Communications are intended as brief reports of significant, original and timely research results in the field of homogeneous or heterogeneously catalysis as well as biocatalysis which warrant rapid publication. In considering the suitability of a manuscript for publication, the editor pays particular attention to the originality of the research, the desirability of speedy publication, and the validity of the conclusions.
Submitting your paper
Authors are encouraged to submit their papers electronically to the appropriate Editor using the online submission system. Authors interested in online submission are requested to go to the website and upload their manuscript and its associated artwork. An electronic (PDF) proof is generated and the reviewing process is carried out using that PDF. It is important that all graphical and tabular elements be placed within the text, so that the PDF is suitable for reviewing. This will also allow the preferred position of placement to be indicated, however please note that due to journal conventions, it may not be possible to meet all requirements for placement of artwork. Moreover, the PDF file may be edited after acceptance to follow journal standards. Authors and editors send and receive all correspondence by email via the website and no paper correspondence is performed. Authors are, however, legally obliged to sign and return a physical transfer of copyright form by conventional mail. To submit your paper online, please go to http://www.elsevier.com/locate/catcom.
Alternatively authors can submit by sending their manuscripts (one original and two copies + electronic file) to the Editor-in-Chief or the Regional Editor.

Refereeing: All contributions submitted will be refereed. The editor reserves the right to reject manuscripts and to edit contributions when necessary.
Comments section: The editor welcomes Comments on Articles published in the Journal or elsewhere. They will be placed in a separate section. Comments will be refereed as usual and treated as normal contributions. All Comments should have an abstract.
Publication speed: The editor and publisher cooperate closely to ensure fast publication. If the manuscript submitted cannot be processed immediately following refereeing because scientific or stylistic revisions are required, this will be indicated by the addition of the date of receipt of the manuscript in final form. Proofs are checked by the publisher, but, if the publication schedule permits, they will also be e-mailed to the corresponding author for checking within 24 hours.
Publication scheme: Catalysis Communications is published monthly.
Page charges and offprints: There are no page charges. The corresponding author will receive 25 offprints free of charge. An offprint order form will be supplied after acceptance for ordering any additional paid offprints. Authors are entitled to a 30% discount on all Elsevier Science books.
Copyright transfer: After acceptance of an article, the author(s) will be asked to transfer copyright of the article to the publisher. This transfer will ensure the widest possible dissemination of information.
Author enquiries: For enquiries relating to the submission of articles (including electronic submission), the status of accepted articles through our Online Article Status Information System (OASIS), author Frequently Asked Questions and any other enquiries relating to Elsevier Science, please consult http://www.elsevier.com/locate/authors. For specific enquiries on the preparation of electronic artwork, consult http://www.elsevier.com/locate/authorartwork. Contact details for questions arising after acceptance of an article, especially those relating to proofs, are provided when an article is accepted for publication.
Preparation of manuscripts: The following are the stylistic requirements for an acceptable manuscript.
(1) Length: Manuscripts normally should not exceed the equivalent of 2500 words including tables, plus references and figure captions, and no more than five figures. They should be typed double-spaced with wide margins. All pages should be numbered.
(2) Address: The name(s) of the author(s) and the name and address of the institute where the research work was done should be indicated on the manuscript. The name, full postal address, fax number and e-mail address of the author to whom correspondence is to be addressed should be given at the bottom of the first page of the manuscript.
(3) Abstract: An abstract of at most 100 words is required. It should be self-contained (no footnotes or references) and present the essence of the results.
(4) Electronic manuscripts: An electronic version (any format) of the accepted manuscript is crucial for fast processing. It may be submitted on a diskette with the manuscript. The type of operating system and wordprocessor should be indicated. For LaTeX articles, the general Elsevier style file should be used (obtainable from http://www.elsevier.com/locate/latex).
(5) Symbols and units: The use of SI units is strongly recommended. A useful guide is: Quantities, Units and Symbols in Physical Chemistry, 2nd edn. prepared by I. Mills, T. Cvitas, K. Homann, N. Kallay and K. Kuchitsu, Blackwell/IUPAC, Oxford, 1993.
(6) Illustrations: The figures in the master set should be supplied separate from the main text. The line drawings should be original printer/plotter output or drawn in black ink, with careful lettering, large enough (3-5 mm) to remain legible after reduction for printing. The photographs should be high-contrast originals; any scale markers should be inserted on the photograph itself, not drawn below it. Each figure should have a number and a caption; the captions themselves should be collected on a separate sheet. Text graphics such as chemical structures should also be supplied on separate pages.
(7) Colour illustrations: Colour illustrations can be reproduced at the author's expense. The Editor will decide if the use of colour is essential for the presentation.
(8) Equations: Displayed equations should be formatted with the journal text column width of 7.5 cm in mind. If necessary notation should be adapted by introduction of suitable abbreviations of component expressions. Special attention should be given to characters that can be confused, such as: l (ell), 1 (one); o (lower case), O (capital), 0 (zero), degree; etc.
(9) Tables: Each table should be numbered and typed on a separate sheet together with its caption. Tables should have a clear structure, with simple column headings giving all units.
(10) References: In the text, reference to other parts of the paper should be made by section or equation number, not by page number. References to other papers should be consecutively numbered in the text and listed numerically at the end of the paper. Multiple references should be avoided, i.e. each paper referred to should be given its own reference number. The total number of references should not exceed 35. The references should be as complete as possible (et al. may be used in the text but not in the list), and presented as in these examples:
For a book:
N. Watanabe, T. Nakajima, H. Touhara, Graphite Fluorides, Elsevier, Amsterdam, 1988.
For a paper in a journal:S. Grimme, S.D. Peyerimhoff, Chem. Phys. 204 (1996) 411.
For a paper in a contributed volume:
J.L. Durant, Jr., in: R.G. Compton, G. Hancock (Eds.), Research in Chemical Kinetics, Elsevier, Amsterdam, 1995, p. 69.
For an unpublished paper:
C.E.H. Dessent, Ph.D. Thesis, Yale University, New Haven, CT, 1997.
(11) Footnotes: These should be used sparingly and preferably be incorporated as text remarks. References should be never be used for footnotes.
