Preliminary selection
The Advisory Board will evaluate the research articles before sending them for in depth review. The Advisory Board will decline manuscripts: 1) which do not explain clearly the novelty versus current knowledge, 2) which are not well-written in English or do not have a good Figure quality, and 3) which do not follow the Instructions to authors carefully. Revised versions For revised versions, the preferred formats are RTF and DOC. Figures in high resolution (> 1200 dpi) should also be sent as separate files using the preferred JPG, TIF or EPS formats. The name of all files should include the first three letters of the first author¡¯s name, e.g. ¡°NamTxt.rtf ¡±, ¡°NamF1.tif ¡±, and ¡°NamF2.jpg¡±.
Article length
The text length is limited to 10 pages, including figures, tables and references. The number of tables plus figures is limited to 6. The number of literature references is limited to 15, except for review articles. All running text should be in Times 11 or Times New Roman 11 with 1.5 spacing. Figure and table captions should be written in Times 10 or Times New Roman 10. Figures, tables and their captions should be included in the running text of the article. Every page of the manuscript, including the title page, references, tables, etc. should be numbered. Sections First, cover page (page 1): article title; name of authors; and a list of five suggested, international reviewers (title, name, postal address, e-mail address).  Second page (page 2): article title; name of authors (an asterisk ¡°*¡± should highlight the corresponding author); postal addresses; e-mail address of the corresponding author; abstract (less than 100 words); keywords (4-7).  Next pages (page 3-11): 1. Introduction, 2. Experimental, 3. Results and discussion, 4. Conclusion, and 5. References. Other sections such as annexes and appendices are not accepted. Illustrations Black and white figures and tables should be of high quality. A ¡°scheme¡± should be named ¡°figure¡±. A figure should be drawn to highlight a novel scientific point. Tables and figures and their captions should be included in the running text of the article. Figure captions should contain a brief description of the main scientific point of the figure, using 1-2 well-thought sentences: a figure should be almost understandable without reading the main body text of the article. The characters should be in Times or Times New Roman with an appropriate size to be readable after 50% reduction. The titles of figure and axes should be bold. The Y-axis title should be written horizontally at the top-left of the graph. Example of axis title: ¡°Concentration (mg/L)¡±. Preferably, a graph should contain a maximum of 3 curves. Symbol legends are not accepted: the name of a curve should be written in the graph, beside the corresponding curve, using arrows if necessary. The following types of figure are not recommended: bar graphs, 3D figures, and figures using 2 Y-axes. General recommendations The English style should be excellent. All text should be written in a concise and integrated way, by focusing on major findings, breakthroughs or discoveries, and their broad significance. An article should be focused on the demonstration of 1-2 major points. Abbreviations should be avoided. Abbreviations should be explained at the first time of appearance, e.g. ¡°¡by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR).¡± All text should be written in paragraphs of 3-8 sentences. Orphan sentences should be avoided. Footnotes in the running text and in tables are not accepted. Table footnotes should be included in the table caption.  The Title should be short and focused on the main scientific discovery. The Abstract should clearly explain the novelty of the findings versus current knowledge, using sentences such as ¡°Here we show that ...¡±, ¡°Here we demonstrate that ...¡± or ¡°This is the first...¡± The Abstract should not contain general statements, and literature references. The Introduction should identify clearly the gap of knowledge that will be filled in this study. The Result and Discussion section should be divided into well-thought topical subsections. Each subsection should give 1) a detailed description of selected result trends with reference to a figure or table in the first or second sentence, usually without literature reference, 2) a discussion of those results and their significance using eventually literature references as support, 3) a brief, one-sentence conclusion on the main discovery and 4) a sentence to introduce the next subsection. The Conclusion should highlight the 1-2 major, firm discoveries in this article, without literature references. In the whole article, authors should clearly separate their results, using ¡°We...¡±, ¡°This study...¡±, from literature results. References The number of literature references is limited to 15, except for review articles. References should be given to international journals and books. References to web addresses and unpublished articles are not accepted. In the text, references should be cited by author and year (e.g. Hammer 1994; Hammer and Sjöqvist 1995; Hammer et al. 1993) and listed in alphabetical order in the reference list.  Examples:  Journal articles: Sasaki J, Arey J, Harger WP (1995) Formation of mutagens from the photoxidation of 2-4-ring PAH. Environ Sci Technol 29:1324-1335.  Books: K¨¹mmerer K (2001) Pharmaceuticals in the environment, 1str edn. Springer, Berlin Heidelberg New York  Multiauthor books: Hovind HJ (1986) Traumatic birth injuries. In: Raimondi AJ, Choux M, Di Rocco C (eds) Head injuries in the newborn and infant. (Principles of pediatric neurosurgery) Springer, Berlin Heidelberg New York, pp 87-109  If available the Digital Object Identifier (DOI) of the cited literature should be added at the end of the reference in question. Example: Dyall KG (1998) Relative and nonrelative finite nucleus optimized double zeta basis sets for the elements.
