About the journal
The editors of Inorganic Reaction Mechanisms invite your contributions in coordination chemistry, organometallic chemistry, main group chemistry, bioinorganic chemistry and broader fields which impinge on inorganic systems.
Inorganic Reaction Mechanisms serves the important field of reactions and mechanisms of inorganic systems in solution as the primary specialist international journal in this field. In dealing widely with inorganic reactions in solution, the journal will accept papers pertaining to the areas of coordination chemistry, organometallitic chemistry, main group chemistry and bioinorganic chemistry. It will publish original papers reporting the results of original significant studies in the general area of kinetics and mechanisms of inorganic reactions in solution, and also of studies designed to define reaction pathways or mechanisms via detection and characterization of intermediates by spectroscopic or structural means. Papers dealing with advances in the determination of or processing of data pertaining to mechanistic studies will also be welcomed.
The journal will publish both full papers, reporting the results of substantial independent study, publish notes, reporting the results of completed studies of lesser scope than the full papers, and short topical reviews. Those contemplating a review article should contact the editors initially. A size limit will apply to notes. The delay between submission, acceptance and publication will be as short as practical.
About IRM – the site for your specialist studies in the broad field of inorganic reactions and mechanisms
?? IRM accepts papers pertaining to the areas of coordination chemistry, organometallic chemistry, main group chemistry and bioinorganic chemistry. It seeks papers relating to mechanistic studies in the broadest sense, not solely detailed examinations of reaction kinetics.
?? IRM is an ISI-listed refereed journal, abstracted through major services such as Current Contents and Chemical Abstracts.
?? IRM offers a modern electronically-based approach to publishing, which should enhance visibility, access and impact.
?? Papers from world leaders in the field of inorganic reaction mechanisms have appeared in the journal already.
Instructions to Authors
In order to ensure timely handling of manuscripts, contributors are encouraged to read these instructions carefully before preparing a manuscript for submission, and to check the manuscript for compliance with these notes before submitting it for publication.
Submission of Manuscripts
Please submit a PDF file or five copies of your manuscript to one of the editors. Please include complete postal addresses, e-mail addresses, and telephone and fax numbers for all authors of an article.
Submission of a paper to the journal, Inorganic Reaction Mechanisms, implies that it has not been published in or submitted to another journal. Upon acceptance, the publisher acquires the copyright for unlimited world-wide distribution including an electronic format.
Guidelines for the Submission of Text
All submissions should be made as Microsoft Word. All manuscripts must be submitted in English; American or British spelling may be used. Manuscripts should be double-spaced, presented in an easily readable, standard font and size (such as 10 or 12 pt. Times or Arial). All pages should be numbered.
Title: The title of the paper should clearly indicate the scope and findings of the paper and should provide an accurate indication of the contents when searched by computerized methods. An abbreviated title of a maximum of 35 characters should be provided as well.
Authors: The names of authors should be given in full (first name, initial(s), last name) followed by his or her department, institution and address including postal code and country. The author to whom correspondence should be directed should be indicated in the cover letter. For the corresponding author, telephone and fax numbers and e-mail address should be provided as well.
Abstract: Manuscripts should include an abstract of 100-150 words summarizing the significant findings.
Keywords: Six to twelve keywords or phrases should be supplied to aid in indexing the article.
Text headings: Headings should be set flush left and the text should begin on the next line. For example:
first-level HEADING (bold, all caps.) second-level Heading (bold, upper case and lower case characters) third level Heading: (underscore:, upper case and lower case characters)
Nomenclature: A nomenclature section defining all symbols used should be included at the end of the paper. Please indicate S.I. units.
Tables: Tables should be numbered consecutively and include a clear descriptive caption at the top. Avoid the use of structural formulas in the body of tables. Table footnotes should be given a footnote symbol as explained in the Footnotes section, proceeding by row rather than by column order.
References: References should be indicated in the text by consecutive Arabic numbers in brackets. The full list should be collected at the end of the paper in numerical order. All references in the list should be cited within the text, and vice versa. References should be numbered by the order in which they appear in the text. Listed references should be complete in all details, including article titles in journals. All authors on each paper should be cited; “et al.” is not sufficient. Journal title abbreviations should conform to Mathematical Reviews Index style.
Examples: Journal article: [1] Last name one, first initial., Last name two, first initial. (year). Title of article. Journal Title, volume, pages. Book: [2] Last name, first initial. (year). Book Title (edition). City: Publisher. Stand-alone Web document [3] Last name, first initial. (year). List of authoring systems. Retrieved date, from http://www.website.com/.
Mention of figures and tables within text: When referring to figures, tables and other elements within the text, always call the element by its full name (for example: “See Table 1”, “Figure 1 illustrates...”, “Refer to Scheme 1”). Do not use ambiguous phraseologies (for example: “1 illustrates...”) that do not clearly denote the element being referred to.
Footnotes: Authors are encouraged to minimize the use of footnotes. A footnote may include the designation of a corresponding author of the paper, current address information for an author (if different from that shown in the affiliation), and traditional footnote content. Information concerning grant support of research should appear in a separate Acknowledgments section at the end of the paper, not in a footnote. Acknowledgments of the assistance of colleagues or similar notes of appreciation also properly belong in an Acknowledgments section, not in footnotes.
Footnotes should be indicated in the text by the following symbols: *(asterisk or star), ?? (dagger), ?? (double dagger), § (section mark). Do not use numerals for footnote call-outs, as they may be mistaken for bibliographical reference call-outs or exponents. Type each footnote at the bottom of the typescript page on which its text call-out appears. Footnotes within a table should be indicated by the same symbols listed above. Reinitialize symbol sequence within tables. Type footnotes to a table directly beneath the table.
Mathematical Equations: Wherever possible, mathematical equations should be entered in the Microsoft Word document, with unusual or ambiguous symbols identified in the margin where they first occur. Alternatively, equations may be typewritten on a separate page, with their designated positions specified in the text.
Units: Please use S.I. (metric) units. Where useful, inch/pound equivalents may be included in parentheses.
Specifications for the Submission of Figures and Artwork
Figures may be provided as either original high quality hard copies or as separate electronic files.
If supplied as hard copy, photos should be high quality, glossy, original prints of maximum contrast. Line art should be original, camera-ready copy on white paper or clear transparency of a standard for direct reproduction. Film negatives are not acceptable.
Electronic images should be saved as EPS, TIFF, JPEG or BMP files. It is very important that all electronic images be provided as high-resolution files. Photographic images (black & white or color) should be saved at a resolution of 300 dpi minimum. Line art should be saved between 600 and 1200 dpi.
Full captions and photo credits (if necessary) should be provided for each photo and figure. All images should be clearly labeled as to figure number. Top should be indicated if it is not immediately apparent.
