(e.g. Title) and type over the selected text. Then delete unwanted text.
Title. The title should clearly and concisely describe the purpose of
the paper and should not include abbreviations. Only the first letter
and proper names (e.g. Lewis acid) should be capitalized
Author Names. The following should be provided for each author: first name, middle
initial and surname (e.g. Alfred N. Other). Initials alone with surnames (e.g. A. N. Other)
should not be used. Do not include profession titles or academic degrees. The name of the
corresponding author should be marked with an asterisk (*). If authors are from different
institutions their surnames should be labeled with a lower case superscript letter referring
to the respective addresses
Authors’ addresses. The mailing address(es) of author(s) should include the institutional
affiliation , street or PO box number, city, postal code and country. Do not include phone or fax
number
E-mail: The address line should be followed by the e-mail address of the corresponding author
The dedication for a commemorative issue should appear on the line below the e-mail
address
Abstract
All manuscripts must be accompanied by a written abstract which should briefly state the
purpose of the research , the principal results and the major conclusions. Numbers (arabic)
identifying structural formulae or labels may be used in the abstract. A typical abstract should
contain 50-100 words.
Keywords: The abstract should be followed by 4-6 keywords
Introduction
An introductory statement should be given placing the work in the appropriate context and
stating the purpose and objectives of the research. Type or cut/paste.
Results and Discussion
All significant results should be discussed in this section. For the correct formatting of tables,
figures, schemes or equations please refer to the detailed “Instructions to Authors”. Tables,
Figures and Graphics (Schemes, Equations and Structure blocks) should be inserted as close to
the relevant text as possible. Important: do not use the “float over text” option.
Conclusions
Optional
Experimental Section
Please see detailed “Instructions to Authors” under General Procedures, Evidence of Identity and
Evidence of purity.
Acknowledgements
Acknowledgements optional.
References
The format required for references and footnotes is given below. Unnecessarily long reference lists should
be avoided by selecting references carefully and citing reviews whenever possible.
All references must be cited in the text by the reference number using superscripts. Notes may be used to
cite manuscripts in preparation, unpublished observations and personal communications. References cited
should follow the style below:
