I&EC投稿指南

第一步：了解在线投稿系统

1，所有的美国化学学会的期刊都可以使用在线投稿系统来投稿。

2，美国化学学会的在线投稿系统已经从2006年开始升级，将由原来的ACS Paragon系统升级到ACS Paragon Plus系统。详情见：

https://www.360docs.net/doc/2e2392114.html,/paragonplus/splash/index.html

3，目前，只有《Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation》在使用ACS Paragon Plus 系统，其它期刊仍使用ACS Paragon系统，地址为：

第二步：使用在线投稿系统

1，注册一个帐号，以后所有的操作，此在线投稿系统都会给你的邮箱地址发送一封确认信。2，从在线投稿系统下载投稿模版，将自己的稿件重新排版。

3，根据在线投稿系统的提示来投稿。

4，投稿完成以后，系统会发一封确认信到你的邮箱。

5，如果你上传的稿件和cover letter 是word格式，投稿系统会自动将它转换为pdf格式。6，投稿结束前，系统会提醒你在核查一次。

7，你可以替别人（通讯联系人）投稿，但是以后所有相关信件会发送至通讯联系人的邮箱。第三步：等待编辑部的处理

1，投稿结束后，系统会发送确认信到你的邮箱，并给你的稿件编号，比如《INDUSTRIAL & ENGINEERING CHEMISTRY RESEARCH》期刊的编号是iexxxxxxx，前2位表示期刊，后7位为文章编号。

2，通常在投稿的第二天，编辑部会给你发送一份处理信，告诉你文章是被拒收了，还是给你指定编辑了。这其实就是编辑部的初审。

3，文章被拒的话，通常是因为内容的缘故，不过大家在投稿的时候，还是该注意一下文章版面的编辑。

4，如果文章初审通过，编辑部会给你的文章指定一位编辑，以后，所有的有关此稿件的联系请直接与指定编辑联系。

5，另外，编辑部还会要求你填写一份copyright form并传真给指定的编辑。此表格可以从投稿系统的网站上下载，有2种格式，大家最好使用交互式的文件格式，添好后打印出来签字，可以传真，也可以使用电子邮件发送给编辑。

6，参考邮件（全是我的真实邮件，略去了文章编号，编辑的联系方式和一些个人信息）：邮件标题：Manuscript ieXXXXXXX assignment

正文：

Dear Dr.XX:

Your manuscript ieXXXXXXX, entitled "XXXX", has been assigned to the following Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research Editor:

XX

Email: XX

Mailing Address:

I&EC Research, Dept. of Chemical Engr.

Carnegie Mellon University

5000 Forbes Avenue, DH2208E

Pittsburgh, PA 15213

USA

Fax: 1-412-268-8694

PLEASE ADDRESS ALL FUTURE CORRESPONDENCE REGARDING THIS MANUSCRIPT TO THE ABOVE EDITOR.

In our instructions for Web submissions, we ask that you include in your cover letter names and complete addresses of several individuals who would be qualified to review your manuscript. Please send these by e-mail to the editor at the above address as soon as possible so that we can begin processing your manuscript.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Please fax your completed and signed copyright form to the editor at the above fax number immediately.

The form can be found on the web at:

https://https://www.360docs.net/doc/2e2392114.html,/paragon/ShowDocServlet?contentId=paragon/menu_content/a uthorchecklist/copyright.pdf. If you have hardcopy supporting information or permissions correspondence or forms (https://www.360docs.net/doc/2e2392114.html,/instruct/permform.pdf), please mail or fax these along with your copyright form to the editor's office. Submission of a manuscript to Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research implies that the work reported therein has not received prior publication and is not under consideration for publication elsewhere in any medium, including electronic journals and computer databases of a public nature. This manuscript is being considered with the understanding that it is submitted on an exclusive basis. If otherwise, please advise.

补充：

1，cover letter的写作：在线投稿的时候需要提交一次，第一次和编辑联系的时候（也就是向编辑提交copyright form的时候），可以直接写在正文里。具体内容，小木虫上已经有很多模版了，写起来也很方便。我本人就是借用了一个模版自己改写了的。

2，常常要登录自己的投稿系统，追踪文章状态。投稿刚结束后，Submitted to Editorial Office下No Action Required模块中的Number为文章编号，Journal为投稿期刊，Title 为稿件名称，Submission Date为投稿日期。但是，Editor和Revision为空。等到文章被指定编辑后，Editor下就会显示编辑的姓名。Revision表示需要修改，是第一次修改，显示为1，是第二次修改，则显示2。投完修改稿以后，会发现Number，Journal，Title，Editor 显示到Revisions Required by Editorial Office模块下，Requested Date为提出修改的日期。

第四步：询问文章处理情况

1，国外文章都是通过电子邮件送审，通常都比较快。但是如果你没有指定审稿人的话，可能稿件处理的要慢一些，因为编辑未必熟悉你的这个领域，由编辑自己选择审稿人，可能在这个过程中，有的审稿人提出不能审稿，于是又要更换审稿人，从而延长了稿件处理周期。2，参考邮件：

我写给编辑的信：

邮件主题：Is my manuscript ieXXXXXXX under processing?

正文：

Dear Professor XX

Thank you very much for your attention to my letter.

I'm a PhD student of XX, I have submitted a manuscript ieXXXXXXX, entitled "XX" on August 15 2005 on the web at https://https://www.360docs.net/doc/2e2392114.html,. Because I submit my manuscript to IE&C for the first time, so I can not offer individuals who would be qualified to review my manuscript. There are two months so far, I want to know whether my

manuscript is under reviewing. If my manuscript isn't sent to any reviewer because I do not offer reviewers, I will send names and complete addresses of several individuals who would be qualified to review my manuscript to you immediately. Thank you very much for your considering my manuscript. I'm looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Best wishes.

对方的回信：

Dear Dr. XX,

We sent your manuscript, ieXXXXXXX, out for review on August 29, 2005.

Despite reminder letters, we still have not received a response from the reviewers. If you know of other qualified reviewers, please send us their names and email addresses.

Thank you.

3，从回信中可看出，即使我没有提供审稿人，对方还是比较及时地将稿件送审了，而且对方也催了审稿人。我后来也就没有再推荐审稿人了，不过这次审稿时间有点长，如果大家有合适的审稿人，还是自己推荐的好，我是找不到合适的审稿人才没有推荐的。

4，与编辑之间的联系，都不是编辑本人回复的，全是编辑的助手在代劳。

第五步：修改稿件并使用在线投稿系统投出

1，编辑会在收到审稿人的意见后，及时地告诉你审稿人的意见，并告诉你是退稿，还是修改。

2，参考邮件

邮件主题：Revision Requested for ieXXXXXXX

正文：

December 5, 2005

Dear Dr. XX:

We are requesting that you revise your manuscript. When submitting your revised manuscript, please include in the file with the cover letter an itemized list of changes to your manuscript, along with a response to the reviewers' comments. Please make the changes requested on the Copy Revision Form.

TO REVISE YOUR MANUSCRIPT ON THE WEB:

-------------------------------------

NOTE: Please submit your revision using your Paragon home page.

1. Log on to your Paragon home page at https://www.360docs.net/doc/2e2392114.html,.

2. Scroll to the section titled: 'Revisions required by

Editorial Office.'

- Click on the manuscript number* to submit a revision.

3. Follow the directions in Paragon to complete the submission

of your revision.

3，修改稿件时，要对审稿人的每条意见进行回复。

4，来信中会告诉你一个帐号密码，如果你是在线投稿，根本就用不上。这是给其它方式投稿用的，比如你邮寄稿件过去，后来想用在线投稿系统修改。

第六步：文章录用通知

1，一篇稿件不一定只改一次，我的文章就改了2次。

2，通常会在投完修改稿的一周内，编辑部给出录用通知。如果一周内还没有得到编辑部的

回复，很可能是稿件又送出去审了。

3，发送录用通知的邮件是由编辑亲自写的，不是助手代劳了，信中会告诉你一些注意事项。4，登录在线投稿系统，Number，Journal，Title，Editor会显示到In Production下的No Action Required模块中，Proj. Issue为预期出版期数， Target Date预期出版日期。5，此时，只需要等待出版社通知你校稿了，与编辑的联系已经结束，你可以写份感谢信。6，参考邮件：

邮件主题：Final status notification for manuscript ieXXXXXXX

正文：

Dear Dr. XX:

We are pleased to inform you that your manuscript entitled "XX" (manuscript ID ieXXXXXXX) has been accepted for publication in Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research. Your manuscript has been forwarded to the ACS Publications office. You will be contacted in the near future by the ACS Journal Publishing Staff regarding the page proofs for your manuscript. Your paper will be published on the Web approximately 48 hours after you approve your page proofs. In view of this fast publication time it is important to review your page proofs carefully. Once a manuscript appears on the web it is published. Any change after that point must be considered additions / corrections.

第七步：文章校稿

1，通常会在一个月内，出版社会发邮件告诉你可以较稿了，并给出帐号和密码。也可以使用在线投稿系统，利用这个帐号和密码去校稿。

2，校稿结束后，系统会给你的邮箱发送一封确认信，并显示你的校稿意见。

3，提交完校稿意见后，在2-5天内，你的文章便成为ASAP文章。即很快见刊。

4，参考邮件：

邮件主题： Galley proof of ieXXXXXXX available for review

正文：

Dear Li Jun:

The proof of your paper, manuscript number ieXXXXXXX, entitled

XX

is now available electronically for your review and approval at

the following URL:

https://www.360docs.net/doc/2e2392114.html,/galleys/egalley.html

At this URL you will be prompted to enter:

Manuscript number: ieXXXXXXX

Security Key: XXXXXX

You will then go to a site where you will be able to view and

download PDF files containing:

1. Instructions for review and submission of corrections/approval

for your paper.

2. A Reprint Order Form.

3. The proof of your paper as it will appear in Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research.

4. The text of your accepted manuscript with all editing changes

indicated.

5. Information regarding the distribution of 50 free electronic

reprints of your paper during the first year following online

publication in the Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research Web Edition, and unlimited

electronic reprints after year one.

Thank you for publishing in Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research.

第八步：文章出版

1，美国化学学会的文章先在网上发行，然后是印刷型的，文章出版后，对方会告诉你这篇文章的网络版地址已经帐号密码。

2，校稿越快越好，可以提前出版。我的文章预期是第9期，结果我当天就校完稿，后来在第8期就出版了。

3，参考邮件：

邮件主题： Web access to I&ECR
