Manuscript Submission: Please submit your manuscripts to any Macromolecular Journal using our online
submission system manuscriptXpress on the journal homepages (see journal domains given above). The
submission must consist of a single file; accepted formats are MS Word/RTF, Postscript, and PDF (with fonts
included). (La)Tec users please submit Postscript or PDF files. Authors will be asked to confirm the
created/uploaded PDF file to complete their submission. An E-mail message then will inform them of the successful
completion of their submission and the manuscript number.
The authors are encouraged to state in the cover letter the reasons why the manuscript should be considered for
publication in the Macromolecular Journals. If applicable, authors should inform the editor of existing referee
reports that are related to the present submission and send their reply to the referees. The authors must inform the
editor of any manuscripts submitted to, soon to be submitted to, or in press at other journals that have a bearing on
the manuscript being submitted. All submissions and publication issues must be in keeping with the Ethical
Guidelines for Scientific Publication (ACS, EuCheMS, etc.).
Contributions of sufficient interest to the readers of the Macromolecular Journals will be sent to independent
referees. Authors are encouraged to suggest suitable referees (full names and affiliations including E-mail
address).
Color graphics and suggestions for cover pictures or frontispieces are welcome, but part of the additional cost for
color print must be paid by the author. Details will be provided during the acceptance procedure.
All accepted manuscripts are edited before printing to ensure scientific consistency, clarity of presentation, and
uniformity of style.
The correspondence author will receive the page proofs as a PDF file.
These Author Guidelines are also available on the Internet (see journal domains given above).
2 Types of Contributions
2.1 Full Papers
Full Papers must be either of current general interest or of great significance to a more specialized readership. All
contributions will be judged on the criteria of originality, quality and novelty. Papers that are considered suitable
will then be sent to three independent referees. Based on the referees’ recommendations, the editors will make a
decision on whether to accept a contribution. Manuscripts must not have been published previously, except in the
form of a preliminary Communication (details requested).
Details that could be of importance to the referees, but that are unlikely to be of interest to the reader, can be
submitted as an enclosure for the referees. Supporting Information for readers (e.g., additional graphics, spectra,
animated multimedia applications, etc.) not contained in the article itself may also be submitted (please clearly
identify as such). If the article is accepted, this information will be made accessible in the Internet (see Section 3.7).
Only articles that have already been published in a scientific journal should be cited. A PDF file of cited
publications not yet available for the referees should be sent by E-mail to the Editorial Office. Unpublished results
and lectures should only be cited for exceptional reasons.
2.2 Communications
Communications are brief reports on experimental or theoretical studies in all branches of macromolecular science.
Preliminary results might be presented, which will usually be followed up by a Full Paper. The results must be of
great significance and contribute to the development or further development of an important area of research. A
short text justifying why a preliminary communication should appear in the respective journal should be included in
the cover letter. The paper must be written in such a way that the non-specialist is able to recognize the significance
of the findings, and all significant parts must not already have appeared in print or electronic online systems (for
example in reviews, proceedings or preprints). Contributions that do not satisfy these criteria will not be accepted
for publication. As for Full Papers, only Communications that are judged to be of sufficient interest to the
readership will be sent to three independent referees.
Inclusive of title page, text pages, all literature citations, footnotes, tables and legends to the figures/schemes, a
Communication should not exceed 12 pages (double spacing, 12 pt Times New Roman; not more than 3000
words in total); formulae and a maximum of 4 figures/schemes may also be added. Only in exceptional cases of
highest urgency and scientific importance, and when a written justification of their extended length is provided,
will longer manuscripts be accepted.
To warrant short publication times authors must submit revised versions not later than one month after receipt of
the referee reports. The editors reserve the right to reject contributions submitted belatedly.
For additional information for referees, Supporting Information, citation of articles, etc., see Section 2.1.
2.3 Feature Articles/Reviews
Feature Articles should focus on a specific area of polymer science, without being as exhaustive as a Review. The
author’s own work can be highlighted. However, important contributions of others must be cited and also briefly
3
discussed, so that non-specialist readers can get a general idea of the field. An outlook describing new challenges
should be given at the end of the manuscript. Reviews on the other hand should describe topics of more general
interest and give a more complete literature survey over a certain period of time. Most importantly, Feature Articles
and Reviews should be critically written, i.e., rather than an assemblage of detailed information, a critical selection
and treatment of the material is desired; unsolved problems and possible developments should also be discussed.
Although Reviews and Feature Articles are generally written on invitation, unsolicited manuscripts are also
welcome provided their contents are in keeping with the character of the journal. The first section of the article
itself, the Introduction, should primarily introduce the non-specialist to the subject in as clear a way as possible. A
biographical sketch (200-300 words) and a portrait photograph (JPG or TIF file) of each author/co-author must
be submitted together with the final version/production data.
2.4 Highlights/Talents & Trends
Highlights describe new breakthrough research results in all field of macromolecular science. Generally written by
a third person upon invitation by the editors, they are meant to feature important recently published papers and
instruct non-specialist readers on their significance. Highlights should be concisely written, avoiding comprehensive
details, and must not exceed 5 manuscript pages in length. A maximum of 4 figures may be added. They should also
contain a Summary, a short text and graphic for the Table of Contents, and a maximum of 5 keywords.
Talents aim to feature new ideas developed by outstanding young scientists and their research work. Written by
senior scientists, Trends aim to highlight important contemporary developments and new directions in all fields of
polymer science. Talents & Trends are generally written upon invitation by the editor, however unsolicited
contributions are also welcome. They should be clearly written avoiding experimental details and unpublished
research results and should not be longer than 10 manuscript pages. Inclusion of some figures and/or graphics is
encouraged. They should include a Summary, and a text and a graphic for the Table of Contents. The author
biography and photo should be also provided.
2.5 Essays
Essays freely address various topics related to polymer science and its community. They may for instance feature
scientists who have significantly contributed to the development of macromolecular science or discoveries that have
set mile stones in the history of polymer science. They may also highlight important polymer research institutes and
their main achievements or report on important collaborations between industry and academia. Essays should not be
longer than 10 manuscript pages, inclusion of some figures is encouraged. Author biography and photo should be
also provided.
2.6 Book Reviews
Book Reviews and comments about, for example, software and websites, are written on invitation. Suggestions
regarding products to be reviewed and potential reviewers are welcome. Publishers should send announcements,
brochures or preferably products directly to the Editorial Office. Unsolicited books will not be returned.
2.7 Macromolecular News
News of the macromolecular community all over the world are published. Articles about, for example, people,
societies, projects, companies, research institutes and market trends are welcome. Use of one or two graphics is
encouraged.
3 Manuscript Preparation
Authors are requested to take special care with the formal details of the manuscript. Either American or British
spelling can be used as long as it is consistent throughout the text. The following points are particularly important.
3.1 General Styling
Manuscripts should be typed with double spacing (12 pt Times New Roman; Greek letters in the character font
Symbol).
Avoid using any special characters from non-standard, region-specific character fonts!
All pages including those containing the references, tables, and legends must be numbered consecutively.
The sequence of sections should be: title page, keywords, summary, text pages (Introduction, Experimental Part,
Results and Discussion, Conclusion, Appendices, Acknowledgements, collected references, captions to
figures/schemes), tables, figures, schemes, formulas (if not part of the main text), and text for Table of Contents.
4
The title page should include:
(i) The manuscript title, a possible dedication, and the author names including their full first name, with the
name(s) of the correspondence author(s) marked by an asterisk (*),
(ii) The affiliations should contain the full postal address of the institute or laboratory in which the work was
carried out together with E-mail address of the corresponding author and FAX number. If applicable, the
current addresses of authors can be given as a separate entry.
The manuscript must contain a text for the ‘Table of Contents’ of the issue, not to be mixed-up with the Summary.
Please include a short text (at most, 400 characters) as the last page of the manuscript. The text should be
formulated to evoke interest in your article. Repetition or a paraphrase of the title, or the Summary, and presentation
of experimental details should be avoided. Along with the text, a graphic for the ‘Table of Contents’ should be
also included. The graphic should be “eye-catching”, as it is meant to attract the readers’ attention and can be
printed in color free of any charge (in contrast to all other graphic items, including the graphic for the Summary
mentioned below). It could be a formula, or figure, or part of a figure of your manuscript - or a newly created figure
based on the content of the article. The graphic should be of sufficient resolution and prepared to fit the final
reproduction size with a height of ca. 5 cm, a width between 5-8 cm, and no additional figure caption. If applicable,
please ensure an appropriate lettering size and avoid unnecessary details or too small items within the graphic.
The text must be preceded by a Summary, which contains all the important results and should not exceed 700
characters. An “eye-catching” graphic for the Summary should be included that could be the same as for the
‘Table of Contents’; however, color reproduction for this item will be charged. Above the Summary up to five
keywords should be given in alphabetical order. At least two of the keywords must be taken exactly as written from
the list “Keywords Macro-Journals”. This list is available on each of the journal homepages (see journal domains
given above), and on request directly from the Editorial Office.
The title, headings and sub-headings are written in lower case with capitalized main words, which are nouns,
pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, and subordinate conjunctions. There is no full stop at the end.
Please do not use italics for Latin or other special phrases or words unless in reference to biological genus or species
names, e.g., ‘Arachis hypogaea’ but ‘ab initio’.
3.2 Experimental Part
The Experimental Part should contain only descriptions of experiments. It must be sufficiently clear to enable a
repetition of the work. The source and purity of all relevant starting compounds should be mentioned. Methods used
for sample characterization should also be described (apparatus, conditions, etc.).
The relevant literature should be cited for known methods and for the description of known compounds; only
modifications should be described.
Results of elemental analyses should be reported as follows:
(C33H36N6O4)n (580.7)n: Calcd. C 68.28, H 6.25, N 14.47; Found C 68.07, H 6.24, N 14.19.
Spectral data should be reported concisely as follows:
UV (methanol): lmax (e) = 205 (2 300), 243 (1 800), 302 nm (1 200 L · mol-1 · cm-1).
IR (KBr): 3 460 (s, OH), 3 240 (NH), 1 692 cm-1 (vs, C=O).
MS (70 eV): m/z = 362 (M+), 344 (M+ – H2O), 283 (M+ – 2 H2O, – COCH3).
1H NMR (CDCl3): d = 7.50 (d, H6), 8.25-7.55 (m, phenyl and H7, H8 and H9), 8.88 (d, H5, J5,6 = 7.2 Hz).
Optical rotation values: a (589.3 nm, 20 °C, sucrose, 10 g · dm-3 in H2O, 10 cm) = + 66.470 °.
Specific rotation: [a]20
589 = 2 deg · dm-1 · g-1 · cm3.
3.3 Mathematical and Chemical Equations and Physical Quantities
Equations (both mathematical and chemical) must be numbered consecutively in parentheses at the end of the line.
Bold Arabic numerals should be used for numbering structural formulae.
For the sake of clarity, products of units should be written with multiplication points. Physical quantities should be
typed in italics and those for units in upright characters, e.g., l = 2.4 × 103 m, DHf = 21 kJ · mol-1.
All Equations should appear within the main text except when they contain graphical elements (cf. 3.4 Tables,
Figures, Schemes and Formulas). However, their location in the main text must be mentioned.
3.4 Tables, Figures, Schemes and Formulas
Tables are part of the text (see also Section 4), but must be given on separate pages together with a caption above
them, which make the tables comprehensible without reference to the text. Footnotes to tables must be indicated
consecutively (line by line) in superscript letters, e.g., a) b) etc. Please avoid using footnotes in the table caption.
5
It is highly recommended that tables are prepared with, e.g., the according Word function. Please do not format
table columns using multiple spaces and avoid inserting tables into the text as graphical objects.
In the final manuscript version/production data (see Section 4) all figures, schemes, formulas and equations
containing graphical elements (but not mathematical ones!) should be submitted as separate data file(s) and not be
integrated in the main text. However, their location in the text must be indicated in numerical order.
A uniform appearance of all the graphics is highly recommended. Lettering and graphic elements must be of
sufficient size to ensure readability after reduction to the final publication format.
3.5 References and Footnotes
References to literature must be numbered consecutively in the text and typed in square brackets as superscripts
after any punctuation, e.g., ... as shown by Huglin.[6]
References must not be used within the summary. References to more obscure journals and patents should be
complemented by citation of the Chemical Abstracts reference.

Footnotes must be given on the respective page and cited in the text as a b c, etc. Please note they must not be part of
the reference section.
3.6 Abbreviations
Abbreviations/acronyms must be defined where they appear for the first time in the main text.
The following abbreviations should be used:
reference(s) = ref.
weight percent = wt.-%
volume percent = vol.-%
mole percent = mol-%
Figures, tables, schemes and equations must appear as, e.g.,
Figure 1
Table 15
Scheme 2 and 3
Equation (5)-(9)
(always singular!)
3.7 Supporting Information
Succinct text and the necessary graphics must be submitted together with the final version/production data as one
separate MS Word document file. The file should include the following: A title “Supporting Information for ...”, the
names of all authors and the respective Macromolecular Journal. Please note that here the graphics must be
imported into the Word file. Color and animated multimedia applications are also welcome. The authors must keep
a copy to make available to readers who do not have access to the Internet.
4 Electronic Data Processing – Final Version – Production Data
Please note that the production data, to be used for editing, must be formatted differently from the
manuscript version used for online submission/refereeing!
To guarantee short publication times, authors must submit their production data not later than five days
after receipt of the acceptance E-mail!
The final document must be kept as simple as possible. Please avoid any complex formatting, avoid unnecessarily
using the formula editor of your word-processing system, and avoid using automatic endnotes, enumerations or
6
listings as far as possible. Tables are edited in the text and should therefore be part of the main text document and
placed at the end. On the other hand, formulas, figures and schemes should be saved in separate files.
The production data files should be prepared as follows:
(i) Title page, text pages, references, captions to figures/schemes, and tables must be saved as one file in,
e.g., Word or (LA)TEc format.
(ii) Graphics must be stored as JPG, TIF, or EPS files. If separate graphic files of sufficient resolution cannot
be generated, the graphics should be provided as part of a Word document. If the files are too big for E-mail
transmission or Internet upload, please contact us.
All files for graphics must be of sufficient quality and resolution at the final print size.
Further details will be provided during the acceptance procedure.
