Information for Contributors

The Journal accepts only electronic submissions sent via online submission system on the address, http://chempap.edmgr.com. Manuscripts must be in a form of a single Word or PDF file. The authors are obliged to use a manuscript template containing also the detailed instructions. Authors are recommended to consult the back issues of the journal for the form and style of published articles. An accompanying letter should contain a proposal of 3-6 suitable reviewers. Revised manuscripts must be sent within 3 months from the receipt of the reviews otherwise they will be considered as new submissions.

All contributions must comply with the Aims and Scope of the Journal. Chemical Papers publishes original full-length papers, short communications, and reviews.

Original full-length papers are significant completed studies, which should not exceed 20 full manuscript pages or 40 000 characters including the space occupied by schemes, figures, and tables. The Editors reserve the right to ask the authors for the reduction of longer manuscripts or payment of extra charge for their publication.

Short communications should comprise original, concise studies of limited extent such as reports on new compounds, reactions, procedures, models, etc. The materials and methods must be complete. The size of this type of manuscripts is limited by 8 full manuscript pages or 16 000 characters including the space occupied by schemes, figures, and tables. The manuscripts should comprise an abstract, list of references, and a single section containing all other parts. They can be processed and published faster when urgent publication is substantiated.

Reviews should be an authoritative, critical and comprehensive evaluation of research conducted in previous years in the areas of topical interest. Review manuscripts may be submitted directly without a previous consent of the Editor-in-Chief if they do not exceed 30 full manuscript pages or 60 000 characters in total. Prospective authors of longer reviews should first send an outline of the proposed article to the Editor-in-Chief with a brief letter explaining why the subject might be of wide interest or significance.
