Manuscript Preparation
General:
brevity is recommended, nevertheless, there is not a maximum length for
the contributions. For a typical Full Paper, the text should be less than
6500 words. All pages have to be numbered.
Language:
papers can be written either in Italian or in British English.
Author Templates:
Electronic Word templates and instructions to use are available online
at the web address www.ijoehy.it/template.htm for the preparation of Full
Papers, Reviews and Opinions and Comments contributions. The output of
templates resembles the journal layout giving authors an idea of their
final contribution. For authors not wishing to use the templates, please
consider the following guidelines.
Full Papers
Title:
title should be short, straightforward and directed at a general reader.It
should not contains acronyms and unnecessary or generic information. The
use of chemical, physical or mathematical formulas in the title is discouraged.
Extended Title:
provide also a short description of the paper (no longer than 50 words)
together with a picture representative of the paper contents.
Authors:
Author(s) should be indicated immediately afterwards the title. Full names
for all the authors should be given. Avoid the use of titles (Dr., Prof.,
PhD., etc.). Indicate the corresponding author with full postal address,
telephone, fax numbers, email.
Affiliations:
affiliations of author(s) should be keyed with superscript, lower-case
used as foot-notes to the author(s) name(s).
Extended Abstract: Extenden Abstract should clearly describe the main
objects and results of the work; it should not repeat the manuscript title.
It should be less than 400 words long, with no references, tables, figures
or formulas. It has to be writtten in British English.
Short Abstract:
If provided by the author(s), a short abstract written in Italian will
be printed with the paper. Short Abstract should be less than 200 words
long, with no references, tables, figures or formulas.
Key words:
Include not more than five key words in English.
Text:
the text should be organized into logical sections like: Introduction,
Methods, Results and Discussion, Conclusions, Aknowledgements, References.
Data already presented into tables or figures should not be repeated into
text. Avoid the description of routine procedures or methods.
Nomenclature and Units:
all units of measure will be expressed following the International System
(IS). Avoid the use of “/” to indicate fractions and use, instead, negative
exponentials (i.e. m·s-1 instead of m/s). Multiplications should
be written using the symbol “·” or an empty space (i.e. m·s-1
or m s-1, but not ms-1).
Use decimal points for English papers and commas for Italian papers; use
a space for thousands (10 000 and above).
Formulae:
Formulae or equations should be presented clearly, within the body of
the text. They have to be numbered on the right, using squared parenthesis
[ ]. Favourite editors are: Equation Editor or Math Type.
Graphical contents and tables:
they consist of artwork illustrations, bar graphs, photographs, etc. The
number of figures (and Tables) must be kept to a minimum and the information
incorporated in the text, whenever possible.
Illustrations quality should be at least of 300 dpi resolution and with
CMYK colours model. Black and white tables are recommended.
Authors should bear in mind the final size of any lettering on the graphic.
Therefore, lettering, axes and lines thickness, titles etc. should be
drawn thick and large enough to ensure good reproduction when reduced
for printing. Illustrations and tables can be as large as one, two or
three journal columns, i.e. 55, 115 or 175 mm, with a maximum height of
212 mm. Use only fonts "sans" (i.e. Arial, Tahoma, Futura, etc.) that,
when printed, will appear as a 8 pt size font.
In a table, indicate footnotes with a superscript lowercase letter. They
should be included in the same, separate, file containing the illustrations
or tables captions.
All the material published in the Journal does not infringe the copyright
of others. We require the author(s) to obtain the relevant permissions
that might be needed from third parties to include material that belongs
to someone else. The source should be always included in the figure caption,
in a form similar to: Reproduced by permission of the Royal Society of
Chemistry. Save figures and tables as separate files (do not include them
in the text) naming them with the same name of the figure (i.e. Fig1.gif,
Fig2.jpg, Fig3.gif, Tab1.doc, Tab2.doc, Tab3.doc, etc.). Insert in the
text a new line containing only the figure's name, in the same position
where the corresponding figure should be placed. Ensure that each illustration
has a caption. Supply captions in a separate file.
References:
The list of references should be arranged alphabetically and then further
sorted chronologically.
In the text refer, using squared parenthesis [ ], to the author's name
(without initials) and year of publication (i.e. Smith, 1998)". For three
or more authors use the first author followed by "et al.".
In the Reference section, reference should indicate, in order: author's
surname followed by the initials of the name, year of publication, paper
title (italics), volume number and inclusive page numbers.
The style of journal abbreviations to be used is as defined in Chemical
Abstracts Service Source Index (CASSI).
