Author Guidelines

MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION

The Eurasian Journal of Analytical Chemistry (EJAC) has a fully online submission and online reviewing
system. This system offers authors the option of tracking by online based review process of their
manuscripts. All manuscripts must be submitted with online from the system by registering.

The manuscripts submitted for the publication should correspond to the scope of The Eurasian Journal of
Analytical Chemistry (EJAC). The journal covers theoretical and some applied aspects of analytical
chemistry; it informs the reader of new trends in analytical methods, samples, and analytes; new
instruments; and reagents.

Contributions to The Eurasian Journal of Analytical Chemistry (EJAC) will be published in English, and
manuscripts must be submitted in that language. Either standard British or American spelling is acceptable,
provided its use is consistent within the manuscript.

Manuscripts should be typed in single-spaced with wide margins on the right side of the paper only. Text
pages should be numbered consecutively. The graphs and tables must be inserted into the text pages. Please
do not use footnotes. The preferred letter font is TimesNewRoman of 12 pt.

Initial Lay-out
All manuscripts should start with a title. The title should not contain less common acronyms. The title is
followed by the first names (no abbreviation), middle initials and surnames of all authors. The author to
whom correspondence should be addressed must be indicated by an asterisk. The complete address of the
authors should be written. The email address of the corresponding author is also needed to send the pdf of
the proofs. Acknowledgements of financial support should be included at the end of the paper.

Abstract
Research papers and reviews begin with an abstract (50 to 250 words) which should comprise a brief
factual account of the contents of the paper, with emphasis on new information. Abbreviations and jargon
must not be used. The abstracts should be suitable for use by abstracting services without rewriting.

Keywords
Key words reflecting the major features of the work should be inserted, but not more than five.

Introduction
Every paper must have a concise introduction explaining the state of the art of the topic described, and
stating clearly what is new in the paper now submitted.

Experimental
The experimental methods and the materials used should be described after the introductory paragraphs.
Detailed technical descriptions should be restricted to one section of the paper, and not scattered throughout
the text. Sufficient information should be given to allow any reasonably experienced worker to carry out
the procedure. Detailed descriptions of well-known techniques and equipment are unnecessary, as are
simple preparations of reagents or solutions, and lists of common chemicals. In writing, complete sentences
should be used.

Results and Discussion

Preferably these should be treated together to avoid unnecessary repetition. Unsupported elaboration of
hypotheses, and verbose exposition of ideas should be avoided. Results and Discussion may be presented in
different sections.

Acknowledgements
Acknowledgements should be kept as short as possible, and placed at the conclusion of the text.

References
Literature references are to be numbered consecutively and should be grouped together at the end of the
paper under the heading “References”. In the text references are quoted by giving the corresponding
numbers of the references list as Arabic numerals in square brackets.

Articles not yet published should be given as “accepted” or “in press” only if accepted for publication.
Otherwise, unpublished articles should be referred to as “submitted for publication”, “in preparation” or
“personal communication”, as appropriate.

Figures and Tables

All figures and tables should be put into the text (not a seperate page) and numbered consecutively in
Arabic numerals throughout the paper. Footnotes to tables should be with lower-case letters. Line drawings
are preferable to photographs. Scanned graphs are less preferred and acceptable only if adequately
resolved. Inscriptions should be clearly legible. Letters 2–3 mm high are recommended in the desired final
size. Half-tone illustrations, if any, should be well contrasted and trimmed at right angles in the desired
final size. Graphs should not be present in large format (e. g. A4 full size), but rather in a typical size of 6
—8 cm.

Nomenclature, symbols and abbreviations

In general, the recommendations of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC)
should be followed. Symbols, formulae and equations should be written with great care, capitals and lower
case letters being distinguished where necessary. Particular care should be taken in typing mathematical
expressions containing superscripts, and in proof-reading such equations. Unusual symbols employed for
the first time should be defined by name in the left-hand margin. Abbreviations require definition when
first used. Abbreviations for long chemical names (e.g. AAS, EDTA, ESI, ICP, Tris) are useful, especially
in equations, tables or figures.
• The abbreviation of mL and L must be preferred instead of ml (l).
• 0.010 g should be written as 10 mg.
• exponential notations (such as, g-1; mL-1; cm-3; mmol-1, etc.) must be used.
• IUPAC rules must be used for designating chemical compounds. In some fields, e.g. pharmacology,
generic or INN names may be used. The use of trade names alone to identify such compounds as
medicines or pesticides is not allowed.

• Quantities and units must be designated using SI units whenever possible (e.g. Pa instead of bar). The
metric system is to be used. Concentrations should be given exclusively as mass or amount-of-substance
concentrations. The use of ppm, ppb, ppt, volume and weight percentages etc. is to be avoided.

Note: Authors must suggest at least three potential reviewers from different geographical locations.
Authors must add the name, address and e-mails of reviwers to the part of "Author Comments" during the
submission of the manuscript.
Submission Preparation Checklist

As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's
compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors
that do not adhere to these guidelines.

1. The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal
for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the
Editor).
2. The submission file is in Microsoft Word, RTF, or WordPerfect document file
format.
3. Where available, URLs for the references have been provided.
4. The text is single-spaced; uses a 12-point font; employs italics, rather than
underlining (except with URL addresses); and all illustrations, figures, and tables
are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.
5. The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the
Author Guidelines, which is found in About the Journal.
6. If submitting to a peer-reviewed section of the journal, the instructions in
Ensuring a Blind Review have been followed.
