Instructions to Authors
Initial manuscript submission. Submit four copies of the manuscript (including copies of tables and illustrations) to the Editor-in-Chief. MRC publishes Full Papers, Notes, Rapid Communications, Reference Data Papers and Letters.
Authors must also supply:
- an electronic copy of the final version (see section below),
- a Copyright Transfer Agreement with original signature(s) - without this we are unable to accept the submission, and
- permission grants - if the manuscript contains extracts, including illustrations, from other copyright works (including material from on-line or intranet sources) it is the author's responsibility to obtain written permission from the owners of the publishing rights to reproduce such extracts using the Wiley Permission Request Form. Permission grants should be submitted with the manuscript.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been previously published and should not be submitted for publication elsewhere while they are under consideration by Wiley. Submitted material will not be returned to the author unless specifically requested.
Electronic submission. The electronic copy of the final, revised manuscript must be sent to the Editor together with the paper copy. Disks should be PC or Mac formatted; write on the disk the software package used, the name of the author and the name of the journal. We are able to use files produced by most word processing packages, but prefer them in Word or WordPerfect format.
Illustrations must be submitted in electronic format where possible. Save each figure as a separate file, in TIFF or EPS format preferably, and include the source file. Write on the disk the software package used to create them; we favour dedicated illustration packages over tools such as Excel or Powerpoint.
Manuscript style. The language of the journal is English. All submissions including book reviews must have a title, be printed on one side of the paper, be double-line spaced and have a margin of 3cm all round. Illustrations and tables must be printed on separate sheets, and not be incorporated into the text.
- The title page must list the full title, a short title of up to 70 characters and the names and affiliations of all authors. Give the full address, including email, telephone and fax, of the author who is to check the proofs, which will be emailed as a PDF attachment.
- Include the name(s) of any sponsor(s) of the research contained in the paper, along with grant number(s).
- Supply an abstract of up to 300 words for all articles, except book reviews. An abstract is a concise summary of the whole paper, not just the conclusions, and is understandable without reference to the rest of the paper.
- Include up to ten keywords that describe your paper for indexing purposes. The first keyword should classify the work in general (NMR, ESR, NQR). The next keywords (up to three) should give the nuclei used in the study (e.g. 1H, 13C, 15N). Up to six additional keywords should characterize the work more closely, including the class of compounds investigated.
Full Papers. These will describe in detail the results of a certain research project and present new applications or the development of new techniques. The text should be kept to a minimum length and, for clarity, be divided into the sections Introduction, Results, Discussion, and Experimental. Results and Discussion sections may be combined and the Experimental section might precede the Results. The Introduction should clearly describe the aim of the paper and why the research was undertaken. Routine procedures including assignments based on well-known methods should be explained in the Experimental section rather than in the Results. A Conclusions section may be added after the Discussion to summarize the important implications of the findings. Atom assignments should be given with hyphens and numbers for the respective formulae (C-1, H-3, etc.). Do not use subscript numbers.
Notes. These will deal with topics of more limited scope using routine methods. In style and presentation they should conform to that laid down for Full Papers. Papers which treat spectral assignments for known compounds or compounds of similar structure to well-known systems are not considered as Notes but as contributions to the Spectral Assignments and Reference Data Section (see below).
Rapid Communications. These will present results of general interest which merit rapid publication. In style and presentation they should conform to that laid down for Full Papers but length should be restricted to a maximum of two journal pages, i.e. approximately eight pages of typed manuscript.
Spectral assignments and Reference Data. These will collect carefully determined experimental data for reference purposes. An abstract as well as keywords should be provided. A short Introduction should state why the work is of interest and refer to relevant previous work. The Experimental section should give, as applicable: nucleus; frequency; instrument and type of computer; lock; temperature; solvent; concentration; tube size; standard; pulse conditions (pulse width, flip angle, acquisition time, spectral width, number of transients, pulse repetition time, number of data points; digital resolution; resolution enhancement, decoupling conditions, experimental error). Further details should be given where appropriate, e.g. for hetero-nuclei. Chemical characterization of new compounds should be presented. The Discussion should be concise and in length appropriate to the complexity of the systems which were studied. Formulae are required showing the numbering of the atoms and referring to an appropriate table containing the spectral parameters. 1D- and 2D methods of assignments of chemical shifts in general should be indicated, but should only be discussed if absolutely necessary or if unusual features are found. Assignments based solely on substituent effects are generally not acceptable. The Reference section should be kept to a minimum, but key references to earlier papers must be included, particularly for syntheses and spectroscopic data. Figures of partial spectra can be included if they show features essential for the assignment.
Reference Data papers on the less common nuclei are particularly welcome. The usage of this section for the fragmentation of publications is strongly discouraged.
Reviews. Full and comprehensive Reviews are welcome, as are shorter Reviews/Accounts of recent developments in a particular field; prior consultation with one of the Editors is advised.
Letters will be published in MRC at the discretion of the Editor-in-Chief, to whom they should be addressed.
Nomenclature. Authors shall conform to nomenclature symbols and abbreviations adopted by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) for chemical terminology.
Experimental. The Experimental section should be precise, and give all details necessary to repeat the work. For solution-state NMR the relevant ASTM Standard (E 386-90, American Society for Testing and Materials, 1916 Race St., Philadelphia, PA 19103, USA) serves as reference. Where new compounds are discussed, they must be fully characterized in the normal manner. The following spectral details should be provided: nucleus and frequency (MHz); instrument; solvent and concentration (mg ml-1 or mmol ml-1); reference standard; temperature; pulse conditions; computer processing techniques; accuracy of parameters. Where spectral data are reported, the digital resolution must be cited, preferable in terms of spectral widths and the sizes of the data tables. Routine 2D experiments should be described by literature references as far as possible. Where novel 2D techniques are used the following details should be provided: pulse sequence including all flip angles, all delay values, and full phase cycling (preferably in tabular form); spectral widths in f1 and f2; number of t1 increments; number of data points measured per increment; number of transients acquired per increment; weighting functions (if any) in t1 and t2; data matrix size after double Fourier transformation; data presentation mode (phase sensitive, absolute value, etc.); total duration of experiment.
Abbreviations. All abbreviations should be defined the first time they are used. Terms such as PMR and CMR are not acceptable: to avoid ambiguity use 1H NMR, 13C NMR. However 'Multinuclear NMR' is unacceptable and should be written as 'Multinuclear magnetic resonance'. For pulse sequences the acronyms proposed in the original literature should be used. Acceptable acronyms are collected in Appendix 2 of Kessler H, Gehrke M, Griesinger C. Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. Engl 1988; 27: 490-536.
Acknowledgments are placed at the end of the text preceding the references and should be brief.
Reference style. References should be cited by superior numbers and listed at the end of the paper in the order in which they appear in the text. Authors should cite available published work. If necessary, cite unpublished or personal work in the text but do not include them in the references list. References should be listed in the following style:
- Harris RK, Nordon A, Harris KDM.. Magn. Reson. Chem. 1999; 37: 15-24.
- Schmidt-Rohr, K, Spiess, HW. Multidimensional Solid-State NMR and Polymers, Academic Press: London, 1994.
- Sklenar,V. In NMR Applications in Biopolymers, Finley, JW, Schmidt, SJ, Serianni, AS (eds), Plenum: New York, 1990; 63
Illustrations and Presentation of Spectra. Supply each illustration on a separate sheet, with the lead author's name, figure number and orientation on the reverse. Supply original photographs; photocopies or previously printed material will not be used. Line artwork must be high-quality laser output (not photocopies). Use hatching, not tints; lettering must be of a reasonable size that would still be clearly legible in case of reduction, and consistent within each figure and set of figures. Supply artwork at the intended size for printing.
Feint or poorly copied spectra are not acceptable. All shifts have to be given on the delta ( ) scale in ppm, high-frequency shifts being denoted as more positive values. Both proton and carbon-13 shifts will be referenced to internal tetramethylsilane (TMS). Isotope shifts may be given in ppb. All J values have to be expressed in Hz.
Colour illustrations. When the use of colour is considered scientifically necessary by the Editors, some of the costs of reproduction will be waived: for Reviews, all costs for colour illustrations will be waived; for Research Articles, two colour illustrations per article will be printed free of charge and each additional colour illustration will be charged at a fixed tariff to the author. Colour illustrations supplied electronically should be in TIFF or EPS format preferably.
Chemical structures. Chemical structures should be prepared in either 80 mm (one column) or 175 mm (two column) widths. However, the one-column format should be used whenever possible as this allows greater flexibility in the layout of the manuscript. Chemical structures should be supplied at the same size as the intended printed version (so no enlargement or reduction is required).

Copyright. In order to enable the publisher to disseminate the author's work to the fullest extent, the author must sign a Copyright Transfer Agreement, transferring copyright in the article from the author to the publisher, and submit the original signed agreement with the article presented for publication. A copy of the agreement to be used (which may be photocopied) is published regularly in the journal and may also be obtained from the journal editors or publisher.
Further Information. Typeset proofs will be sent to the author for checking. This stage is to be used only to correct errors that may have been introduced during the production process. Prompt return of the corrected proofs, preferably within two days of receipt, will minimise the risk of the paper being held over to a later issue. 25 complimentary offprints will be provided to the author who checked the proofs, unless otherwise indicated. There is no page charge to authors.
