Instructions to Authors
- Submission of Manuscripts
Three double-spaced copies of the manuscript (the original plus two good copies) complete with references, tables, figure captions, figures, index abstract, and supplementary material (CIF file) for review should be written in English (US spelling) and submitted to:
William Pennington
Editor, J. Chem. Crystallogr.
Department of Chemistry
Clemson University
Clemson, SC 29634-0973
Telephone: (864) 656-4200
Fax: (864) 656-6613
E-mail: jchemcryst@chemed.ces.clemson.edu The CIF file depository number must be provided with the submitted manuscript, as detailed in Point 8 below. Submission is a representation that the manuscript has not been published previously and is not currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. A statement transferring copyright from the authors (or their employers, if they hold the copyright) to Kluwer Academic/Plenum Publishers will be required before the manuscript can be accepted for publication. The Editor will supply the necessary forms for this transfer. Such a written transfer of copyright, which previously was assumed to be implicit in the act of submitting a manuscript, is necessary under the U.S. Copyright Law in order for the publisher to carry through the dissemination of research results and reviews as widely and effectively as possible.
The manuscript should be typed in double-spaced format throughout, with at least 30-mm left-hand and right-hand margins. All pages should be numbered consecutively, with references, tables, figure-caption list, figures, index abstract, and supplementary material placed at the end of the manuscript. Tables and figures should be cited by Arabic numerals, and their positions in the text indicated by annotations in the left-hand margins. Authors are encouraged to publish similar structures together in a single paper rather than as separate, fragmented contributions. A cover sheet should accompany submissions and should provide the title, corresponding author's name, address, phone, fax, and e-mail address.
The guidelines are available on the World Wide Web at the J. Chem. Crystallogr. homepage.
- Nomenclature
Contributors should conform as closely as possible to the following international standards:
Symbols and Nomenclature: International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry: J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1960, 82, 5517.
Units: SI preferred; angstroms preferred in place of nanometers.
- Manuscript Organization
a. Cover Page:
A cover page should start each manuscript and should contain the title, authors, and for the corresponding author, full mailing address, telephone and FAX numbers, and Email address.
b. Index Abstract:
The second page of the manuscript should be an Index Abstract comprised of the title, the authors without affiliations, one sentence that describes the essence of the paper, and a figure of the most important structure in the paper.
c. Title:
The manuscript itself should start on the third page with the paper's title left-justified near the top of the page. Only the first letter of the first word in the title should be capitalized.
A shortened title, preferably no more than 40 characters (to be used as the right-hand running head), should be given near the bottom of the title page.
d. Authors and Affiliations:
The list of authors'; names should be left-justified and should appear beneath the title with at least 3 lines of space between. An asterisk should be used to indicate the corresponding author. The affiliations should be given on a separate line following the authors'; names.
e. Abstract and Key Words:
All Articles and Notes should include an abstract of about 200 words in length, which includes the cell parameters and space group for each structure. The word Abstract should appear in upper- and lowercase bold type and should follow the authors' affiliations with at least 3 lines of space between. A list of 3? key words should be provided directly below the abstract. Key words should express the precise content of the manuscript, as they are used for indexing purposes.
f. Experimental Section:
The majority of the routine crystallographic data and refinement parameters should be given in a table rather than in the text. Unusual features of the structure solution or refinement (e.g., disorder, poor crystal quality, space-group ambiguity, etc.) should be discussed in the text. A table of fractional coordinates and equivalent isotropic thermal parameters for all refined atoms should be included for publication.
The source of the material studied should be clearly stated. Inclusion of all the synthetic details for new preparations is encouraged.
g. Results and Discussion:
Authors should discuss structural results rather than simply report them. Bond distances and angles, torsion angles, least-squares planes results, etc., may be published only if they are crucial to the discussion of the structure. Reporting of geometric parameters should include estimated standard deviations; statistical standard deviations (sigma) should be included for all averaged values.
h. References:
References should be cited in the text in numerical order using superscripts. Superscripts should be placed after any punctuation. All references should be listed (typed double-spaced) in numerical order at the end of the paper. American Chemical Society style should be adopted in the reference list. Examples include:
Journals: Rogers, R.D.; Rollins, A.N.; Gatrone, R.C.; Horwitz, E.P. J. Chem. Crystallogr.1995, 25, 43.
Books: Tilley, R.J.D. Defect Crystal Chemistry; Chapman and Hall: New York, 1987; pp 121--124.
International Tables for X-ray Crystallography; Kynoch Press: Birmingham, England (Present distributor: Kluwer Academic Publisher: Dordrecht.), 1974; Vol. IV, p 72.
Chapters in Edited Books: Rogers, R.D.; Bond, A.H.; Bauer, C. B.; Zhang, J.; Jezl, M.L.; Roden, D.M.; Rein, S.D.; Chomko, R.R. In Aqueous Biphasic Separations: Biomolecules to Metal Ions; Rogers, R.D.; Eiteman, M.A., Eds.; Plenum: New York, 1995; pp 1--20.
Software: Sheldrick, G.M. SHELX93, Program for Crystal Structure Refinement; University of Gottingen: Germany, 1993.
i. Tables and Formats:
Tables should be numbered consecutively using Arabic numerals. Each table must be cited in order in the text. Authors should indicate in the left-hand margins the proper placement of the tables relative to the text. Each table should be typed on a separate sheet of paper and placed in order immediately following the reference list.
j. Figures:
Figures should be numbered consecutively using Arabic numerals. Each figure must be cited in order in the text. Authors should indicate in the left-hand margins the proper placement of the figures relative to the text. Each figure must have a descriptive caption. Figure captions should be listed (typed double-spaced) on a separate sheet of paper placed at the end of the manuscript immediately following tables. ORTEP diagrams of structures are preferred.
Stereoscopic pairs of drawings of correct viewing size (approximately 62 mm between centers) will be accepted only where appropriate. Graphs and other illustrations should be line drawings on good-quality white paper, white card, or glossy prints, of about 1.5 to 2 times the desired final size and suitable for direct reproduction. Artwork for each figure should be provided on a separate sheet of paper. Each should be marked on its reverse side with figure number, its orientation, and the author's name. Chemical structural formulas should be prepared as described for drawings.
For organic compounds, in particular, a clear stereoformula should be provided. An ORTEP-type drawing may be used, provided that any ambiguities arising from multiple bonds are eliminated. Such drawings could carry the atom numbering. Unit cell packing illustrations will be accepted only when they are important for the discussion.
- Abbreviations
Abbreviations should be kept to a minimum and must not permit ambiguity. The use of Greek characters should be indicated by explanatory annotations in the left-hand margins on their first usage. Abbreviations may be used in table column headings.
In molecular or empirical formulas, nonstandard abbreviations should be defined when first used; Ph (rather than the Greek phi) should be used for the C6H5 group. Where an absolute configuration is under discussion, the basis for its assignment should be stated clearly.
- Supplementary Material
The journal will normally publish fractional coordinates of non-hydrogen atoms and any crystallographic parameters important to the discussion. The authors should prepare three paper copies of the CIF file as a Supplementary Material section for manuscript review. An electronic version of the CIF file is also required.
- Computer Disks
After a manuscript has been accepted for publication and after all revisions have been incorporated, manuscripts should be submitted to the Editor's Office as hard copy accompanied by electronic files on disk. Label the disk with identifying information ?software, journal name, and first author's last name. The disk must be the one from which the accompanying manuscript (finalized version) was printed out. The Editor's Office cannot accept a disk without its accompanying, matching hard-copy manuscript.
- Proofs and Reprints
Proofs and reprints (including 20 free reprints) will be sent to the author whose name is marked with an asterisk on the title page. In the absence of an asterisk, the first-named author will be the recipient. In order to maintain publication schedules, authors are requested to check and return proofs without any delay. When proofs are not received by the publisher within 14 days of their receipt by the author, the paper may be published as set, subject to minor corrections by the Technical Editor. This procedure ensures rapid publication, and the cooperation of authors is requested.
Additional reprints are available to authors, and order forms with the current price schedule are sent with proofs. In all cases, the reprint order forms should be completed and returned to the publisher expeditiously even if additional reprints are not ordered to facilitate the correct manufacture and shipment of the 20 complimentary reprints.
The journal makes no page charges.
- Crystallographic Data
Prior to submitting your manuscript to the journal you must deposit the data of X-ray structure analyses in a crystallographic database so that referees can access the information electronically.
The two databases, the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC) and the Fachinformationszentrum Karlsruhe (FIZ), have the same procedure for the deposition of data and both will be pleased to provide help.
- You should send your data (preferably electronically) to the appropriate address below. In general, you will receive a depository number from the database two working days after electronic deposition.
- You should then quote the standard text, including the depository number, in your manuscript when it is submitted to the journal. This text will be included as a footnote in the final version of the paper.
- Before you return your revised manuscript to the journal Editor, please update your database entry if necessary.
CCDC Notes:
- the deposited data will not be archived to the CCDC until the paper has been published. If, after 18 months, the paper has not been published the CCDC will contact the depositor to determine what should be done with the data.
- The preferred mode of deposition is by e-mail as a plain text ASCII file. Wherever possible the CIF format should be used but other formats will be accepted. Guidance for data deposition can be obtained from the CCDC website: http://www.ccdc.cam.ac.uk/conts/depositing.html
