[Rebecca Donnelly]

Paperscontaining new crystal structures undergo additional review by the Crystallographic Editor, who checks each crystal structure for consistency. The manuscript is also checked to ensure that comments on the structure are justified based on the quality of the determination.

Authorship

The conditions around authorship for Australian Journal of Chemistry should follow the recommendations of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), for more information see

Scope and publishing policy

Australian Journal of Chemistry publishes research papers from all fields of chemical science. Papers that are multidisciplinary or address new or emerging areas of chemistry are particularly encouraged. Thus, the scope is dynamic. It includes (but is not limited to) synthesis, structure, mechanism, theory, new materials, macromolecules and polymers, supramolecular chemistry, analytical and environmental chemistry, natural products, biological and medicinal chemistry, nanotechnology, and surface chemistry.

The publishing policy of Australian Journal of Chemistry is to select the most important papers with the broadest significance to the wider chemistry community. Papers reporting incremental results that do not have sufficient originality and significance are unlikely to be accepted.

Submission of manuscripts - author's overview

The covering letter should contain a justification explaining the novelty and significance of the work to the general chemical community. The covering letter should also contain a statement that the manuscript has not been published elsewhere, and is being submitted exclusively to Australian Journal of Chemistry.

Australian Journal of Chemistry is a general chemistry journal with a broad readership. 80 % of the Journals subscribers are outside Australia. Each manuscript should include a general Introduction that allows all readers to appreciate the significance and general context of the work, along with a final paragraph summarizing the conclusions that can be drawn, and noting possible future directions. The Journal appears 12 times per year in print and on the web. Abstracts of papers are published as soon as accepted; full online versions are posted as soon as publishable.

To submit your paper, please use our online journal management system ScholarOne Manuscripts, which can be reached directly through this link or from the link on the Journals homepage. If a first-time user, register via the Register here link, or use your existing username and password to log in. Then click on the Author Centre link and proceed. Please include the name, address, fax and telephone numbers, and email address of the corresponding author.

A Table of Contents entry must also be supplied, containing an appropriate graphic and a short (ca. 50 words) text written for interested non-experts, an example of which is shown below:

Organoboron compounds are useful building blocks for organic synthesis; however, they suffer from incompatibilities with many synthetic transformations. The recently reported N-methyliminodiacetate boronate complex shows good stability and resistance to a wide variety of chemistries. The ability to protect and mask the boron functionality has led to an expanded role for boron in the synthesis of complex molecules.

Manuscript categories Full Papers

Full papers are complete reports of original research results that have not previously been published, except in the form of a Communication, in which case a reprint should be provided. A full paper will not be published if all relevant experimental details have already been published as supporting information in a Communication elsewhere. Evidence must be given that substantial new material is submitted, and the Communication must be identified and cited early in the manuscript. A short abstract (maximum 100 words) should be provided at the start of the manuscript. The paper should be divided into Introduction, Results and Discussion, Conclusion, and Experimental (and/or Computational Methods) sections.

Communications

Communications are short reports of urgent research findings, and should not exceed 2000 words and three graphics. A short abstract (50-100 words) should be provided at the start of the manuscript. The text should not otherwise be broken up into sections; however, an introductory paragraph should provide a general context for the work, explaining its significance, and indicating why it should be of interest to chemists in other areas, while the final paragraph should summarise the major conclusions that can be drawn, pointing to possible future directions. A short Experimental section should be included. Adequate experimental details, including full characterization of new compounds, should be given as supporting information in the Supplementary Material. The submission should be accompanied by a brief statement explaining why urgent publication is merited.

Reviews

Review articles are usually not more than 10 printed pages and should give a critical overview of a subject of high current interest in chemical science. Authors are encouraged to take a stance and lead the reader through the field. Overall a review should take us forward and show where a field is heading. The introduction should arouse the readers interest, describing the background, significance, and development of the field, and should be comprehensible to a broad audience. The main part of the review should be a comprehensive but critical analysis of recent (last three to five years) developments, current problems, and future directions. The review should conclude with a summary of the highlights (pointing out their significance) and unsolved problems. A passport photo and a short biography (ca. 100 words) should be submitted with the manuscript.

Primer Reviews

Primer Reviews are concise, authoritative overviews of important contemporary topics in the chemical sciences. They should appeal to advanced undergraduates, the general research chemist who is new to the field, as well as the expert. They provide a solid introduction to the development of a subject, the latest breakthrough results and their implications for the wider scientific community. These Reviews should be no longer than 12 000 words and contain a maximum of 50 citations, crediting major contributors, both old and new. Specialist terms and symbols should be defined, and fundamental ideas simply explained.

Primer Reviews must be:

Accessible: to advanced undergraduate students and beyond. Primer Reviews are often used in advanced undergraduate and Masters studies.

Authoritative: An essential introduction to the field will lay the foundation of knowledge in the area with approximately 25 seminal citations, serving as a springboard to further reading, followed by the most important recent advances.

Topical: the reviews should treat subjects where there has been significant recent advance and promote a rigorous view in a succinct form.

Highlights

Highlight articles summarise recent developments in a new, developing, controversial, or speculative field of chemistry, and are intended to serve as an introduction to the field for the general reader. A short abstract should be provided at the start of the manuscript. A strong introduction describing the significance of the work and the reason for recent heightened interest should be followed by a clear and succinct presentation of important results, without the extensive technical details required for an original article or the extensive history required for a review. The conclusion should highlight the significance of the findings and describe how they take us forward, and it should point to possible future directions. All of this should be presented in a manuscript of up to 2000 words.

Use of inclusive language

These guidelines should be used to assist in identifying appropriate language, but are by no means exhaustive or definitive. Inclusive language comprises carefully chosen words and phrases that are respectful and promote the acceptance and value of all people. It is language which is free from words, phrases or tones that demean, insult, exclude, stereotype, or trivialise people on the basis of their membership of a certain group or because of a particular attribute. As such, inclusive language should make no assumptions about the beliefs or commitments of any reader, and contain nothing which might imply that one individual is superior to another on any grounds including but not limited to: age, gender, race, ethnicity, culture, sexual orientation, disability or health condition. We encourage the use of plural nouns (e.g., 'they' as default wherever possible instead of 'he/she'), and recommend avoiding the use of descriptors that refer to personal attributes, unless there is scientific or clinical relevance. For further guidance on inclusive language see Inclusive language Style Manual. If there are questions about language use and/or publishing with regards to First Nations people, please contact the Journal.

Authors and addresses: The full names of all authors contributing to the work should be included, along with their complete postal addresses. Email address(es) of the contact author(s) must be included. The addresses listed should be the institution(s) where the work was conducted; if this is different from the present address, the present address should be indicated in a footnote.

Keywords: A minimum of 8 key words or phrases are required to improve online discoverability of your work. These terms can be repeated from the title if necessary. List the keywords under the abstract, with terms separated by commas.
