symbols except mol ratios like Ca/S,should be written with regular letters.In the subscript of variables for the letters which denote words do not use italic style,like as d p (diameter of particle).NomenclatureThe variables in nomenclature have to be written in alphabetical order and must have dimension in brackets e.g.[Jm 2s –1].The Greek symbols must be separated,and as well as sub-scripts and super-scripts,abbreviations,and acronyms.The mark of variables with dimensions i brackets used and explained only once in the text,do not include into the nomenclature.In nomenclature for mark of characteristic numbers give also the equation for that number e.g .Re –Reynolds number (=UD/n ),[–]ReferencesReferences should be numbered in brackets in the order of appearance in the

These keywords will also be used by the publisher to produce a keyword index.For the rest of the paper, please use Times Roman (Times New Roman) 12Abstract.This template explains and demonstrates how to prepare your camera-ready paper for Trans Tech Publications. The best is to read these instructions and follow the outline of this text. Please make the page settings of your word processor to A4 format (21 x 29,7 cm or 8 x 11 inches); with the margins: bottom 1.5 cm (0.59 in) and top 2.5 cm (0.98 in), right/left margins must be 2 cm (0.78 in).(We shall be able to publish your paper in electronic form on our web page , if the paper format and the margins are correct. If not, we will have to scan your paper which, when compared with an electronic version, results in very poor quality).IntroductionAll manuscripts must be in English, also the table and figure texts, otherwise we cannot publish your paper.Please keep a second copy of your manuscript in your office. When receiving the paper, we assume that the corresponding authors grant us the copyright to use the paper for the book or journal in question. Should authors use tables or figures from other Publications, they must ask the corresponding publishers to grant them the right to publish this material in their paper.Use italic for emphasizing a word or phrase. Do not use boldface typing or capital letters except for section headings (cf. remarks on section headings, below).Organization of the TextSection Headings. The section headings are in boldface capital and lowercase letters. Second level headings are typed as part of the succeeding paragraph (like the subsection heading of this paragraph).Page Numbers. Do not number your paper:Tables. Tables (refer with: Table 1, Table 2, ...) should be presented as part of the text, but in such a way as to avoid confusion with the text. A descriptive title should be placed above each table. Units in tables should be given in square brackets [meV]. If square brackets are not available, use curly {meV} or standard brackets (meV).Special Signs. for example , αγμΩ () ≥ ± ● Γ {1120}should always be written in with the fonts Times New Roman or Arial, especially also in the figures and tables.Macros. Do not use any macros for the figures and tables. (We will not be able to convert such papers into our system)Language. All text, figures and tables must be in English.Figures. Figures (refer with: Fig. 1, Fig. 2, ...) also should be presented as part of the text, leaving enough space so that the caption will not be confused with the text. The caption should beself-contained and placed below or beside the figure. Generally, only original drawings or photographic reproductions are acceptable. Only very good photocopies are acceptable. Utmost care must be taken to insert the figures in correct alignment with the text. Half-tone pictures should be in the form of glossy prints. If possible, please include your figures as graphic images in the electronic version. For best quality the pictures should have a resolution of 300 dpi(dots per inch).Color figures are welcome for the online version of the journal. Generally, these figures will be reduced to black and white for the print version.Equations. Equations (refer with: Eq. 1, Eq. 2, ...) should be indented 5 mm (0.2"). There should be one line of space above the equation and one line of space below it before the text continues. The equations have to be numbered sequentially, and the number put in parentheses at the right-hand edge of the text. Equations should be punctuated as if they were an ordinary part of the text. Punctuation appears after the equation but before the equation number, e.g.c2 = a2 + b2. (1)Literature ReferencesReferences are cited in the text just by square brackets [1]. (If square brackets are not available, slashes may be used instead, e.g. /2/.) Two or more references at a time may be put in one set of brackets [3,4]. The references are to be numbered in the order in which they are cited in the text and are to be listed at the end of the contribution under a heading References, see our example below. SummaryIf you follow the “c hecklist”your paper will conform to the requirements of the publisher and facilitate a problem-free publication process.AcknowledgementsThis work was financially supported by the Shanghai Natural Science Foundation (0666666), Innovation Program of Shanghai Municipal Education Commission (060000) and Shanghai Leading Academic Discipline Project of Shanghai Municipal Education Commission (0555555).

Organic Letters投稿模板说明书

Instructions for Using the Organic Letters Manuscript TemplateWord 2010 for WindowsThe Organic Letters manuscript template is a guide to be used to prepare manuscripts for submission to Organic Letters. There are a number of paragraph styles available for use with this template to identify the different parts of your manuscript, i.e., Title, Author Names, Abstract, etc. In Microsoft Word, the name of the current paragraph style is displayed in the Styles section of the home tab. Use the styles provided in the template for each corresponding section of your paper. The template is designed to closely approximate a composed manuscript. A manuscript may not exceed 2200 words, including abstract, main text, and titles/footnotes of approximately five to eight graphics. Additional graphics will require areduced word count. To calculate the word count, select all text from the abstract through the end of the main text (excluding title, authors, affiliations, and content after main text) and view the word processor word count data NOTE: references are NOT included in the word count.. For best approximation, do not manipulate elements of the template such as font size, margins, spacing,etc. to suit your word processed draft. Formatting in the Organic Letters journal style will occur as part of the editorial production process.Authors should refer to the documentation for their individual word processor or graphics package for answers to questions directly related to those programs.Downloading the template1.From the Organic Letters Information for Authors page, click on the manuscripttemplate that corresponds to the version of word-processing software you will be using to prepare your manuscript.2.Save the template in the Templates folder. With the template open in Word, click Filethen Save As. Scroll to the top of the folder list, Click Microsoft Word, then clickTemplates. In the Save as type drop down list, select Word Template, then click Save.This places the template in the proper folder so it will be listed as an available template for manuscript preparation.Working with the templateThere are several ways to use this template to generate your final manuscript to be submitted for publication. Two of the most straightforward are to (a) type your manuscript directly in the template or (b) attach the template to a working document. Instructions are given below for each of these methods as well as general instructions for all methods. Be sure to frequently check the Organic Letters Information for Authors page to ensure that you are using the most recent version of the template.For best results, template method A is recommended.A.Typing directly into the template1.Open the saved OL template and create your manuscript directly in the template bychoosing File, New. Click My Templates to locate the OL template. NOTE: If it does not appear, open the template file from the location where you saved it and resave it as aDocument Template using the same file name. This should make it so that it does appear on the My Templates tab in the New dialog box.2.Select the OL template and make sure the option Create New: Document (not Template)is selected. Click OK. You will see a file containing sample text sections with tips forusing the template and guidelines for what each section contains. This text is formattedwith the paragraph style appropriate for the section. In addition, a Styles toolbar can bedisplayed listing the Word Styles available in the template. The Styles toolbar can beopened from the Styles menu on the ribbon or by the shortcut Alt+Ctrl+Shift+S. Whenyou use the template to create a document, the new document will be a document copy(.docx) of the template containing your manuscript text, and the original template file will remain unchanged.3.Select (highlight) the text of the template that you want to replace and begin typing yourmanuscript (i.e., select the Title section for typing in your title), ensuring that you haveselected text from the appropriate section (i.e., the Author Names section for typing inyour author names).B.Attaching the template to a documentIf you have prepared your document in a file not using the template, you can attach the template to your working document and apply the Word style tags. If attaching the template to your document, it is helpful to print a copy of the template first so that you can identify which Word style should be applied to the different sections of your manuscript (File, New, My Templates and select the OL template).1.Open your manuscript file.2.Select File on the toolbar and then Options. NOTE: There are several ways to importtemplates/styles into working documents within Word. See the "templates" section ofMicrosoft Word Help for further instructions.3.Choose Add-Ins in the Word Options dialog box.4.Select Templates from the Manage drop-down list, then click Go.5.Click the Attach button and choose the appropriate template, then select Open.6.Click Automatically update document styles, then clikc OK. This will return you to theworking document. The OL template styles will be available for this manuscript.7. A popup Styles toolbar has been generated that will display the different Word styles foreasier use. If you do not see this toolbar, do (Alt+Ctrl+Shift+S), and it should appear.You can close this at any time and reopen it when needed.8.Attaching the OL template sytles does not automatically change the page layout to matchthe template dimensions; you must make the following adjustments for the best fit. Under Page Layout, select the Margins drop down list. Select Custom Margins tab, type in the following dimensions: Top 0.5”, Bottom 0.5”, Left0.76”, Right 0.76”, Gutter 0”. On the Paper Size drop-down select More Paper Sizes,in Paper tab set size Letter, Width 8.5”, Height 11”, then on the Layout tab set the Header 0.5”, and Footer 0.5”.NOTE: Page layout settings other than those prescribed here will not give accurate layout estimates.9.Place the cursor in the title section of your document. Using the Word Style menu on theformatting toolbar, select Word Style “BA_Titl e”. This will apply the Word Style to the title.Do this for the author names and addresses using the appropriate style.10.Insert TOC/Abstract graphic (sized at desired publication size).11.Place the cursor in the abstract section of your document and apply the Word Style“BD_Abstract”.12.After the last word of the abstract, enter a continuous page break (Page Layout, Breaks,select Continuous from Breaks drop- down) then change the page format for the rest of the manuscript to two-column text. Click on the Columns drop-down from the Page Setupsection in Page Layout and select More Columns. Make the following changes in thiswindow: Number of Columns 2, Width 3.33”, Spacing 0.32”. Click OK. Assign theappropriate Word Styles to the remaining paragraphs/text of the manuscript.13.Insert figures, schemes, and tables by creating a blank line (style Normal) where you wanteach to appear, making sure the image is sized appropriately for desired reproduction in publication.Additional Guidelines (see Organic Letters Author Guidelines for complete details)1.Include a graphical entry for the Table of Contents (TOC) that, in conjunction with themanuscript title, should give the reader a representative idea of one of the following: akey structure, reaction, equation, concept, or theorem, etc., or an ingeniousrepresentation, thereof, that is discussed in the manuscript. Insert this graphic, atpublication size, above the abstract text on the first page of the template.2.Submit a concise, self-contained, one-paragraph abstract (75 words or less).Space for this is provided on the first page of the template.e paragraph returns to end headings and paragraphs only. Do not use paragraphreturns to break lines. Use a spell checker to detect any typos and eliminate any spacesbefore punctuation.4.Pay particular attention to the format of the references to ensure that they comply withjournal style. Authors are responsible for the accuracy of the references.5.Present tabular material by using the table-formatting feature in your word-processingpackage. Enter each data element in its own cell. Apply template table styles to tabletitles, footnotes, and table body text.6.Ensure all characters are correctly represented throughout the manuscript: for example, 1(one) and l (ell), 0 (zero) and O (oh). Use symbol font for all Greek letters and mathsymbols. Use only characters in your file that came with the character sets in your wordprocessor.Working with graphics in the templateTo insert a graphic within the text or as a figure, scheme, or table, create a new line (Wordstyle “Normal”) and insert the graphic where desired.Size and place the graphics at the size they should be in the journal. For best results, most artwork should be sized to fit in a single journal column. NOTE: If your artwork is larger than the width of a column, Word may reduce the size so that it fits within the column. This will alter the resolution of your graphic and may make it unacceptable for publication.For double column artwork, enter a continuous page break, change number of columns from 2 to 1, place the artwork, then insert another continuous page break and configure two columns with previous settings.If your artwork does not appear where you placed it and is floating over text, select the piece of artwork by clicking on it. Under Picture Tools, select Picture or Object and then select the Position tab. Make sure the Float over text box is NOT selected. If it is, deselect it and select OK. This should make your artwork appear where you originally placed it.ChemDraw directionsFollow the drawing settings in the ACS-1996 Style Sheet for preparing your artwork. It is best to copy the actual artwork and paste it into Word rather than saving it as a file and inserting the file. In addition, for versions later than 2.1.3, in the ChemDraw Preferences (File, Preferences), ensure that the Optimize for High-Resolution non-Postscript Printing, Include ChemDraw LaserPrep, and Include PostScript Preferences are ON. Use of ChemDraw versions 2.1.3 or below and any version of ChemDraw Plus is not encouraged, as they are not compatible with the process that generates the PDF file for your manuscript. If it is absolutely necessary to use one of these older versions of ChemDraw, deselect Include PostScript Atom Labels (File, Preferences). This will prevent incompatible PostScript information from being embedded in the structure. NOTE: this may result in structures of inferior quality; thus, the use of an updated version of ChemDraw is strongly encouraged.Saving your manuscript in the templateWhen you are finished and are ready to save your document, if necessary, delete all sections from the template that are not needed, including the first page of instructions. Assign the file a name that will identify your manuscript, one that is different than that of the template. Save the file with the graphics in place. In Microsoft Word, click Save As (File menu) and save it as a “docume nt” file (.docx).NOTE: To use the template with Microsoft Word 2007 (PC version) and Microsoft Word 2008 (Macintosh version), Save your Word files in the compatibility format (Word 97-2003) using the “Save As” option.Checking your manuscript for completenessReview a printout of the manuscript (from a 600 dpi or higher laser printer) to ensure that all parts of the manuscript are present and clearly legible.Submitting your manuscriptFollow the Author Guidelines link from the Organic Letters home page for the latest instructions on how to proceed with the submission of your manuscript. If submitting electronically, your manuscript will be converted to a PDF file. This file is used strictly for peer review. The length of the file when converted to the PDF version may change. Additional formatting changes may occur in prodouction. In addition, the appearance of footnote numbers does not need to be changed to match the journal style.Additional resourcesAuthors should refer to the User's Guides for their individual word processor and graphics programs for more specific instructions on how to use these packages. In addition, most software manufacturers maintain on-line help resources. Two good sources of additional information are the Microsoft Web site (/) and the ChemDraw Web site (/software/ChemDraw/).Appendix: ReferencesGiven below are the recommended formats to be used for the various reference types.

Your Paper's Title Starts Here: Please Centeruse Helvetica (Arial) 14FULL First Author1, a, FULL Second Author2,b and Last Author3,c1Full address of first author, including country2Full address of second author, including country3List all distinct addresses in the same waya email,b email,c emailKeywords:List the keywords covered in your paper. These keywords will also be used by the publisher to produce a keyword index.For the rest of the paper, please use Times Roman (Times New Roman) 12Abstract.This template explains and demonstrates how to prepare your camera-ready paper for Trans Tech Publications. The best is to read these instructions and follow the outline of this text. Please make the page settings of your word processor to A4 format (21 x 29,7 cm or 8 x 11 inches); with the margins: bottom 1.5 cm (0.59 in) and top 2.5 cm (0.98 in), right/left margins must be 2 cm (0.78 in).(We shall be able to publish your paper in electronic form on our web page , if the paper format and the margins are correct. If not, we will have to scan your paper which, when compared with an electronic version, results in very poor quality) Your manuscript will be reduced by approximately 20% by the publisher. Please keep this in mind when designing your figures and tables etc.IntroductionAll manuscripts must be in English, also the table and figure texts, otherwise we cannot publish your paper.Please keep a second copy of your manuscript in your office. When receiving the paper, we assume that the corresponding authors grant us the copyright to use the paper for the book or journal in question. Should authors use tables or figures from other Publications, they must ask the corresponding publishers to grant them the right to publish this material in their paper.Use italic for emphasizing a word or phrase. Do not use boldface typing or capital letters except for section headings (cf. remarks on section headings, below).Organization of the TextSection Headings. The section headings are in boldface capital and lowercase letters. Second level headings are typed as part of the succeeding paragraph (like the subsection heading of this paragraph).Page Numbers. Do not number your paper:Tables. Tables (refer with: Table 1, Table 2, ...) should be presented as part of the text, but in such a way as to avoid confusion with the text. A descriptive title should be placed above each table. Units in tables should be given in square brackets [meV]. If square brackets are not available, use curly {meV} or standard brackets (meV).Special Signs. for example , αγμΩ () ≥ ± ● Γ {1120}should always be written in with the fonts Times New Roman or Arial, especially also in the figures and tables.Macros. Do not use any macros for the figures and tables. (We will not be able to convert such papers into our system)Language. All text, figures and tables must be in English.Figures. Figures (refer with: Fig. 1, Fig. 2, ...) also should be presented as part of the text, leaving enough space so that the caption will not be confused with the text. The caption should be self-contained and placed below or beside the figure. Generally, only original drawings or photographic reproductions are acceptable. Only very good photocopies are acceptable. Utmost care must be taken to insert the figures in correct alignment with the text. Half-tone pictures should be in the form of glossy prints. If possible, please include your figures as graphic images in the electronic version. For best quality the pictures should have a resolution of 300 dpi(dots per inch).Color figures are welcome for the online version of the journal. Generally, these figures will be reduced to black and white for the print version. The author should indicate on the checklist if he wishes to have them printed in full color and make the necessary payments in advance.Equations.

Instructions for authors - BMC - revised

Instructions for preparation of manuscripts for publication in supplementsto BioMed Central journalsGeneral informationThe Editor-in-Chief/Executive Editor of the journal retains editorial control at all times and is responsible for all final acceptance decisions. The Editor-in-Chief/Executive Editor may request changes, corrections, re-review or reject articles which do not meet journal standards.Manuscripts accepted by the journal will be published online in fully browseable web forms and formatted PDF files. Articles will be available through BioMed Central website and submitted for inclusion in PubMed where applicable. Conditions of submission and BioMed Central License AgreementBy submitting an article to a supplement to a BioMed Central journal, authors confirm that all authors of the manuscript have read and agreed to its content and are accountable for all aspects of the accuracy and integrity of the manuscript in accordance with ICMJE criteria. They confirm that readily reproducible materials described in the manuscript will be freely available to any scientist wishing to use them for non-commercial purposes , and that ethical approval has been obtained for any human or animal experimentation (for more information see our Instructions for Authors). Authors also confirm that the manuscript is original, has not already been published in a journal and is not currently under consideration by another journal. Assuming your article is accepted for publication, you will later be asked to confirm your acceptance of these points and agreement to these and all other terms of the BioMed Central License Agreement, the Creative Commons Attribution License 4.0, and our Open Data policy, which we strongly recommend you read.Editorial policiesAll manuscripts submitted for publication in supplements to BioMed Central journals must comply with our editorial policies. Before submission, please ensure that your manuscript meets the criteria outlined on our general policy page online at /about/editorialpolicies.Policies should be followed closely to minimise delays in the review and production process. They cover authorship, completing interests, peer review, confidentiality, ethics, trial registration, registration of systematic reviews, standards of reporting, publication of clinical datasets, data and material release, software describing new taxa, duplication publication, citations, copyright/libel and misconduct.The Duplicate publication policy is of particular importance for conference publications. Authors are required to ensure that no material submitted as part of a manuscript infringes existing copyrights, or the rights of a third party. The article should not already have been published in another journal or other citeable publication and should not be under consideration by any other journal (though it can already have been deposited on a preprint server). If articles have been published previously as extended abstracts then they must be significantly expanded, and include novel methods, results, analysis or interpretation. The original publication must be cited. Copying text from previously published work of others without acknowledging the source is plagiarism may be regarded as misconduct. Text recycling (also known as self-plagiarism, i.e. republication of the author’s own previously published work) is also inappropriate and may breach copyright. Any quotations must be clearly indicated by quote marks and the original source must be cited. For further guidance, please see BioMed Central's Duplicate Publication Policy /about/duplicatepublication.Instructions for authors – articles for submission to supplementsPlease prepare your manuscript in accordance with the instructions for the relevant article type on the journal's website /authors/instructions. For BMC Proceedings, please follow the instructions for BMC Bioinformatics (/bmcbioinformatics/authors/instructions#submitManuscript) for biology-based supplements or BMC Medical Genetics(/bmcmedgenet/authors/instructions#submitManuscript) for medicine-based supplements.Important exceptions to the instructions for articles to be submitted to supplements are outlined below: SubmissionPlease do not submit your supplement manuscript via our online submission system unless specifically asked to do so. Manuscripts (in English) and figures for supplements should be submitted to the supplement organizers and will then be submitted by email or via our ftp site to BioMed Central.PaymentStandard article processing charges (APCs) do not apply for supplements. Publication fees do apply, and arrangements for payment are made outside the online APC payment system. Please contact the Supplements Office if you have any questions regarding fees or payment. Please note that we cannot process supplement payments via membership schemes and cannot apply waivers to supplements.DeclarationsIn addition to the online guidance, all supplement articles must include a Declarations section stating specifically the source of funding for the article’s publication fee. If an arrangement has been made for an organization to pay publication fees on behalf of authors, BioMed Central will add this statement. Where authors are arranging to pay a fee directly to BioMed Central, they make their own declaration in this section and this is usually in the form "Publication charges for this article have been funded by…"Competing interestsAll articles should include a Competing interests section. It is particularly important for sponsored supplements to include relevant disclosures and to include a statement regarding any named sponsor products or compounds in development referred to in the article.ProofsThe supplement organizer will send links to the online proofs and corrections should be returned by email. Once the full text version of the article is finalised, we will create the PDF versions and check these in-house. Corrections cannot be made after the online proof stage.Author presubmission checklist for manuscripts for publication in supplements to BioMed Central journalsBefore submitting the manuscript to your supplement organizer, please go through the list of points below, and refer back to the main instructions if necessary.

1. Aims and scopeThe European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry publishes studies on all aspects of medicinal chemistry, including organic synthesis; biological behaviour; pharmacological activity; drug design; QSAR; molecular modelling; drug-receptor interactions; molecular aspects of drug metabolism; prodrug synthesis and drug targeting. The journal accepts papers from any country, European or otherwise, and provides a medium for publication of the following articles:Original papers are full papers describing original research of high scientiﬁc level and timeliness. They are deﬁnitive reports on a full study.Short communications are shorter pieces of work and report limited studies of the same level as described in original papers.Preliminary Communications are also limited studies but describe particu-larly novel and signiﬁcant new ﬁndings which shall be developed further in the future.Laboratory notes are focused on practical aspects. They may deal with an original synthesis of a series of compounds or with new pharmacological methods.Review articles are specially commissioned by the Editors and may embrace the results of various workers in a given area or may feature recent develop-ments from the author’s own laboratory. A review that is distinguished by a novel interpretation or representation of earlier findings is especially suitable. The Editors welcome inquiries concerning the suitability of a particular topic for a review article.In addition, a book review section appears in the journal from time to time. 2. Submission of manuscripts2.1 GeneralManuscripts must be written in English. It is essential to give a fax number and e-mail address for the corresponding author when submitting a manuscript. Submission of an article implies that the work described has not been published previously (except in the form of an abstract or as part of a published lecture or academic thesis), that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, that its publication is approved by all authors and tacitly or explicitly by the responsible authorities where the work was carried out, and that, if accepted, it will not be published elsewhere in the same form, in English or in any other language, without the written consent of the Publisher.Manuscripts will be evaluated by the Reading Committee which maintains the option of requesting that the authors modify their texts. Their originality and quality are determined by at least two independent referees. To insure a timely publication process, authors are requested to read the following instructions carefully and to prepare their manuscript accordingly.There are no submission fees or page charges for papers published in The European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry.Articles and any other material published in The European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry represent the opinions of the author(s) and should not be construed to reﬂect the opinions of the Editor and the Publisher.2.2 Submission of manuscriptsEuropean Journal of Medicinal Chemistry uses a Web-based online manuscript submission and review system. Authors must submit their manuscript to one of the Editors (see below) via the online submission page / ejmech.Editor-in-ChiefProfessor Olivier Lafont, Châtenay-Malabry Cedex, France.Associate Editors:Dr Salvatore Guccione, Catania, Italy.Prof. Antonio Monge-Vega, Pamplona, Spain.Authors will be guided stepwise through the creation and uploading of the various ﬁles. The system automatically converts source ﬁles to a single Adobe Acrobat PDF version of the article, which is used in the peer-review process. Please note that even though manuscript source files are converted to PDF at submission for the review process, these source files are needed for further processing after acceptance. All correspondence, including notification of the editor’s decision and requests for revision, takes place by e-mail and via the author’s home page. A printed copy of the manuscript is not required at any stage of the process.Manuscripts should be accompanied by a graphical abstract (submitted as a separate document) for the contents list and a cover letter outlining the basic findings of the paper and their significance, as well as the names and contact details of 4–6 potential referees.3. Copyright guidelinesUpon acceptance of an article, authors will be asked to transfer copyright (for more information on copyright see /copyright). This transfer will ensure the widest possible dissemination of information. An e-mail will be sent to the corresponding author confirming receipt of the manuscript.A form facilitating transfer of copyright will be provided. If excerpts from other copyrighted works are included, the author(s) must obtain written permission from the copyright owners and credit the source(s) in the article. Elsevier Science has preprinted forms for use by authors in these cases: contact ES Global Rights Department, P.O. Box 800, Oxford, OX5 1DX, UK; phone: (+ 44) 1865 843830, fax: (+ 44) 1865 853333, e-mail: permissions@ 4. Presentation of manuscriptManuscripts should be written in good English. Italics are not to be used for expressions of Latin origin, for example, in vivo, et al., per se. Use decimal points (not commas); use a space for thousands (10 000 and above).Ensure that each new paragraph is clearly indicated. Manuscript pages should be numbered consecutively and organized as follows : Title Page, Main text, Acknowledgement, References, Figure captions, Tables, Figures and Schemes.I f possible, consult a recent issue of the journal to become familiar with layout and conventions. For a free online sample copy, please go to www. .Graphical abstracts:Authors must supply a graphical abstract for inclusion in the journal’s graphical table of contents. The abstract should summarise the contents of the paper in a concise, pictorial form designed to capture the atten-tion of a wide readership. Carefully drawn chemical structures are desired that serve to illustrate the theme of the paper. Authors may also provide appropriate text, not exceeding 30 words. The content of the graphical abstract will be type-set and should be kept within an area of 5 cm by 17 cm. Authors must supply the graphical abstract separately as an electronic ﬁle.Title page: Provide the following data on the title page (in the order given). Title. Concise and informative. Avoid abbreviations and formulae wherepossible.Author names and affiliations.Where the family name may be ambiguous(e.g., a double name), please indicate this clearly. Present the authors’afﬁli-ation addresses (where the actual work was done) below the names. Indicate all affiliations with a lower-case superscript letter immediately after the author’s name and in front of the appropriate address. Provide the full postal address of each afﬁliation, including the country name, and, if available, the e-mail address of each author.Corresponding author.Clearly indicate who is willing to handle correspon-dence at all stages of refereeing and publication, also post-publication.European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry Instructions to authorsEnsure that telephone and fax numbers (with country and area code) are provided in addition to the e-mail address and the complete postal address.Abstract.A concise and factual abstract of no more than 120 words is required. The abstract should state briefly the purpose of the research, the principal results and major conclusions. An abstract is often presented sepa-rate from the article, so it must be able to stand alone.Keywords. Immediately after the abstract, provide a maximum of 3–6 key-words, avoiding general and plural terms and multiple concepts (avoid, for example, ‘and’, ‘of’). Be sparing with abbreviations: only abbreviations ﬁrmly established in the ﬁeld may be eligible. These keywords will be used for indexing purposes.Abbreviations.Define abbreviations that are not standard in this field in a footnote to be placed on the ﬁrst page of the article. Such abbreviations that are unavoidable in the abstract must be deﬁned at their ﬁrst mention there, as well as in the footnote. Ensure consistency of abbreviations throughout the article.Main text:The manuscript should be written as clearly and concisely as possi-ble. The author is responsible for providing the correct nomenclature which must be consistent and unambiguous. The use of chemical names for drugs is preferred. The text should be arranged in the following order: Introduction, Chemistry, Pharmacology, Results, Discussion, Conclusion and Experimental protocols. Each section should be clearly marked with a separate, numbered heading and may be numbered down to the fourth order.Footnotes should be designated in the text by superscript numbers and listed on a separate sheet, starting with the title; in tables they should be noted by super-script letters and placed at the bottom of the page containing the table. Analytical data should be included for examination by the editor and referees. However, these data will not be printed if they agree within ±0.4 % with calculatedvalues, but may be noted as follows: ‘Anal. C14H15NO3(C, H, N, O)’,with thementioning under Experimental protocols: ‘Analyses indicated by the symbols of the elements or functions were within ±0.4 % of the theoretical values’. Instructions regarding GenBank/DNA Sequence Linking:DNA sequences and GenBank Accesion numbers:Many Elsevier journals cite “gene accession numbers” in their running text and footnotes. Gene accession numbers refer to genes or DNA sequences about which further information can be found in the database at the National Center for Biotechnical Information (NCBI) at the National Library of Medicine. Elsevier authors wishing to enable other scien-tists to use the accession numbers cited in their papers via links to these sources, should type this information in the following manner: For each and every accession number cited in an article, authors should type the accession number in bold, underlined text. Letters in the accession number should always be capitalised. (See Example 1 below). This combination of letters and format will enable Elsevier’s typesetters to recognize the relevant texts as accession numbers and add the required link to GenBank’s sequences. Example 1:“GenBank accession nos. AI631510, AI631511, AI632198, and BF223228, a B-cell tumor from a chronic lymphatic leukemia (GenBank accession no. BE675048), and a T-cell lymphoma (GenBank accession no. AA361117)”.Authors are encouraged to check accession numbers used very carefully. An error in a letter or number can result in a dead link.In the final version of the printed article, the accession number text will not appear bold or under-lined (see Example 2 below).Example 2:“GenBank accession nos. AI631510, AI631511, AI632198, and BF223228, a B-cell tumor from a chronic lymphatic leukemia (GenBank accession no. BE675048), and a T-cell lymphoma (GenBank accession no. AA361117)”.In the final version of the electronic copy, the accession number text will be linked to the appropriate source in the NCBI databases enabling readers to go directly to that source from the article.Acknowledgments:Place acknowledgements, including information on grants received, before the references, in a separate section, and not as a footnote on the title page. References:Responsibility for the accuracy of bibliographic citations lies entirely with the authors. Please ensure that every reference cited in the text is also present in the reference list (and vice versa). Any references cited in the abstract must be given in full. Unpublished results and personal communica-tions should not be in the reference list, but may be mentioned in the text. Citation of a reference as ‘in press’implies that the item has been accepted for publication.Text:Indicate references by number(s) in square brackets in line with the text. The actual authors can be referred to, but the reference number(s) must always be given.Example: “... as demonstrated [3,6]. Barnaby and Jones [8] obtained a different result...”List:Number the references (numbers in square brackets) in the list in the order in which they appear in the text.Examples:Reference to a journal publication:[1]H. Ulbrich, B. Fiebich, G. Dannhardt, Eur. J. Med. Chem. 37 (2002)953–959.Reference to a book:[2] C. Melchiorre, M. Giannella (Eds.), Highlights in Receptor Chemistry,Elsevier, Amsterdam, 1984.Reference to a chapter in an edited book:[3] J.P. Buyniski, R.L. Cavanagh, A.W. Pircio, A.A. Algieri, R.R. Crenshaw,in: C. Melchiorre, M. Giannella (Eds.), Highlights in Receptor Chemistry, Elsevier, Amsterdam, 1984, pp. 195–215.Figure legends, tables, figures, schemes:Present these, in this order, at the end of the article. They are described in more detail below. High-resolution graphics files must always be provided separate from the main text file (see Preparation of illustrations).Captions:Ensure that each illustration has a caption. Supply captions on a separate sheet, not attached to the ﬁgure. A caption should comprise a brief title (not on the figure itself) and a description of the illustration. Keep text in the illustrations themselves to a minimum but explain all symbols and abbrevia-tions used.Tables:Number tables consecutively in accordance with their appearance in the text. Place footnotes to tables below the table body and indicate them with superscript lowercase letters. Avoid vertical rules. Be sparing in the use of tables and ensure that the data presented in tables do not duplicate results described elsewhere in the article.Figures and Schemes: Figures and Schemes should be consecutively numbered with Arabic numerals, according to their order of appearance in the main text. Any lettering (symbols, numbers, etc.) in the illustrations should be used in a consistent way and be of consistent size. Mark the appropriate position of a ﬁgure/scheme in the text.Text graphics:Present incidental graphics not suitable for mention as figures, plates or schemes at the end of the article and number them ‘Graphic 1’, etc. Their precise position in the text can then be defined similarly (both on the manuscript and in the file). Ensure that high-resolution graphics files are pro-vided, even if the graphic appears as part of your normal wordprocessed text ﬁle.5. Illustrations5.1 Preparation of electronic illustrationsSubmitting your artwork in an electronic format helps us to produce your work to the best possible standards, ensuring accuracy, clarity and a high level of detail.General pointsAlways supply high-quality printouts of your artwork, in case conversion of the electronic artwork is problematic.Make sure you use uniform lettering and sizing of your original artwork.Only use the following fonts in your illustrations: Arial, Courier, Helvetica, Times, Symbol.Number the illustrations according to their sequence in the text.Use a logical naming convention for your artwork files, and supply a separate listing of the ﬁles and the software used.Provide all illustrations as separate files and as hardcopy printouts on separate sheets.Provide captions to illustrations separately.Produce images near to the desired size of the printed version or larger. If providing larger than intended publication size, please scale text such that it will remain readable after reduction.To help authors provide actual size graphics, it is suggested that the following settings be used with CSC ChemDraw TM and I SI S Draw TM: font 10 pt Helvetica, chain angle 120°, bond spacing 18 % of length, ﬁxed length 14.4 pt (0.508 cm), bold width 2.0 pt (0.071 cm), line width 0.6 pt (0.021 cm), margin width 1.6 pt (0.056 cm), and hash spacing 2.5 pt (0.088 cm). Compound num-bers should be in boldface. With these settings, to ensure a proper size, the graphic must be printed at 70 %. In order to accurately design schematics to print out at the proper width with the reduction, the original drawing cannot exceed a column width of 12.0 cm (for single column) and 25.0 cm (for double column). To produce a double column width landscape mode will need to be used.A detailed guide on electronic artwork is available on our website: /artworkinstructionsYou are urged to visit this site; some excerpts from the detailed informa-tion are given here.FormatsRegardless of the application used, when your electronic artwork is finalised, please “save as” or convert the images to one of the following formats (Note the resolution requirements for line drawings, halftones, and line/halftone com-binations given below.):EPS: Vector drawings. Embed the font or save the text as “graphics”. TIFF: Colour or greyscale photographs (halftones): always use a minimum of 300 dpi. For colour images always use CMYK.TIFF: Bitmapped line drawings: use a minimum of 1000 dpi.TIFF: Combinations bitmapped line/half-tone (colour or greyscale): a mini-mum of 500 dpi is required.DOC, XLS or PPT: I f your electronic artwork is created in any of these Microsoft Ofﬁce applications please supply “as is”.Please do not:Supply embedded graphics in your wordprocessor (spreadsheet, presenta-tion) document;Supply ﬁles that are optimised for screen use (like GIF, BMP, PICT, WPG);the resolution is too low;Supply ﬁles that are too low in resolution;Submit graphics that are disproportionately large for the content.5.2 Preparation of non-electronic illustrationsProvide all illustrations as high-quality printouts, suitable for reproduction (which may include reduction) without retouching. Submit colour illustrations as original photographs, high-quality computer prints or transparencies, close to the size expected in publication, or as 35 mm slides. Number illustrations consecutively in the order in which they are referred to in the text. They should accompany the manuscript, but should not be included within the text. Clearly mark all illustrations on the back (or – in case of line drawings – on the lower front side) with the ﬁgure number and the author’s name and, in cases of ambi-guity, the correct orientation.Line drawingsSupply high-quality printouts on white paper produced with black ink. The lettering and symbols, as well as other details, should have proportionate dimensions, so as not to become illegible or unclear after possible reduction; in general, the ﬁgures should be designed for a reduction factor of two to three. The degree of reduction will be determined by the Publisher. Illustrations will not be enlarged. Consider the page format of the journal when designing the illustrations. Photocopies are not suitable for reproduction. Do not use any type of shading on computer-generated illustrations.Photographs (halftones)Please supply original photographs for reproduction, printed on glossy paper, very sharp and with good contrast. Remove non-essential areas of a photo-graph. Do not mount photographs unless they form part of a composite ﬁgure.Where necessary, insert a scale bar in the illustration (not below it), as opposed to giving a magniﬁcation factor in the legend.Note that photocopies of photographs are not acceptable.5.3. Colourﬁgure chargesColour in print:Colour ﬁgures may be printed in the journal at no charge to the author, provided that the Editor considers the colour necessary to convey sci-entific information. In all other instances, costs of colour reproduction will be entirely charged to the authors.Colour on the Web:as a new feature any figure can appear free of charge in colour in the web version of your article (e.g. on ScienceDirect), regardless of whether or not this is reproduced in colour in the printed version. Please note that if you do not opt for colour in print, you should submit relevant figures in both colour (for the web) and black and white (for print).5.4. Supplementary materialElsevier accepts electronic supplementary material to support and enhance your scientific research. Supplementary files offer the author additional possibilities to publish supporting applications, movies, animation sequences, high-resolution images, background datasets, sound clips, and more. Supplementary ﬁles supplied will be published online alongside the electronic version of your article in Elsevier web products, including ScienceDirect . To ensure that your submitted material is directly usable, please provide data in one of our recommended file formats. Supplementary data must be saved in files separate from those for the manuscript and figures, and all file names must be supplied. Supplementary ﬁles should either be referred to from within the text of your manuscript in the same way as for figures or tables, or their presence be indicated by adding a paragraph entitled “Supplementary data” at the end of the manuscript, detailing which data are supplied. In addition, authors should also provide a concise and descriptive caption for each ﬁle.When supplying supplementary data, authors must state whether the data files are either (i) for online publication or (ii) to be used as an aid for the refereeing of the paper only. All supplementary data will be subject to peer review. For more detailed instructions, please visit /artwork instructions6. ProofsOne set of page proofs in PDF format will be sent by e-mail to the correspon-ding author and should be returned with corrections as quickly as possible, normally within 48 hours of receipt of the proofs. Should there be no corrections, please confirm this. The Publisher reserves the right to proceed with publication if corrections are not communicated.Elsevier will do everything possible to get your article corrected and published as quickly and accurately as possible. In order to do this we need your help. When you receive the (PDF) proof of your article for correction, it is important to ensure that all of your corrections are sent back to us in one communication. Subsequent corrections will not be possible, so please ensure your ﬁrst sending is complete. Note that this does not mean you have any less time to make your corrections, just that only one set of corrections will be accepted.7. ReprintsThe corresponding author, at no cost, will be provided with a PDF file of the article via e-mail or, alternatively, with twenty-five free paper offprints. The PDF ﬁle is a watermarked version of the published article and includes a cover sheet with the journal cover image and a disclaimer outlining the terms and conditions of use.8.
