Submission of Manuscripts
Manuscripts should be submitted in English by e-mail with a covering e-mail, to:
Abraham F. Jalbout
Department of Chemistry, University of New Orleans
New Orleans, LA 70148-2820 USA
E-mail: jalbout5551@aol.com
MS Word (all versions) files are of preference to our journal.
If manuscript will be submitted via airmail please send five copies to the editor-in-chief (A.F. Jalbout), with a cover letter, and confirmation e-mail message.
Formatting of the article for publication in PDF format is acceptable, as long as the information on the acceptance dates, when the article was received , etc, is accurately obtained from the editor-in-chief
Submission of a paper implies that the copyright is transferred to EJMAPS. A copyright transfer form (can be obtained online by clicking here) or by writing to any of the editors.
Authors should write their manuscripts in English and format them as a LaTeX, AMS-LaTeX, or AMS-TeX files (we also accept plain TeX, but we prefer LaTeX). Please keep the number of macros (\def, \newcommand) to the minimum possible, please use standard TeX macros rather than your personal macros (use \omega instead of \om).
In AMS-TeX, use the command \documentstyle{amsppt} as shown in Spivak's book The Joy of TeX, 2nd ed.
In AMS-LaTeX, use the command \documentclass{amsart} as shown on page 3 of the User's Guide to AMS-LaTeX, Version 1.1, published by the American Mathematical Society.
In LaTeX 2.09, use the command \documentstyle{article} as shown on page 21 of Lamport's book Latex User's Guide & Reference Manual.
In LaTeX 2e, use \documentclass{article} as shown on page 19 of Lamport's book Latex User's Guide & Reference Manual, 2nd Edition
Plain TeX: We prefer the use of LaTex. However, you may use TeX with \magnification = \magstephalf \hsize=14truecm \hoffset=1truecm \parskip=5pt. In this case The Texbook by Donald E. Knuth is the main reference.
Graphics can be included as Postscript files. From the main document input them through the commands \usepackage{graphicx} \includegraphics{fig1.ps} , or through \special{PSfile=fig1.ps}, or through packages such as epsf and psfig.
Mathematically based manuscripts should consult the Mathematics Subject Classification numbers, key words, author's e-mail address, and an abstract no longer than twelve lines.
Manuscript Preparation
Manuscripts should be prepared with a word processor. The printing area is 17.5 cm x 24.7 cm. For A4 paper, the margins should be 1.5 cm on top, 3.5 cm at the bottom and 1.75 cm on both left and right sides of the paper. For US letter-sized paper, the margins should be 1.5 cm on top, 1.74 cm at the bottom and 2.05 cm on both left and right sides.
The manuscripts must conform to our template style.
However, reference numbers should be placed in square brackets [ ], and placed
before the punctuation; for example [4] or [1-3], and all the references
should be listed separately and as the last section at the end of the
manuscript.
Journal references must cite the title of the paper and its
starting and ending pages, thus
8. Bowman, C. M.; Landee, F. A.; Reslock, M. A. Chemically Oriented Storage and Retrieval System. 1. Storage and Verification of Structural Information. J. Chem. Doc. 1967, 7, 43-47.
References to books should cite the authors(s), title, publisher, publication date, and page.
9. Smith, A. B. Textbook of Organic Chemistry; D. C. Jones: New York, 1961; pp 123-126.
In referring to a book written by various contributors, cite authors(s) first, as in
10. Winstein, S.; Henderson, R. B. In Heterocyclic Compounds; Elderfield, R. C., Ed.; Wiley: New York, 1950; Vol. 1, Chapter 1, p 60.
Full details of the author's affiliation must be provided (i.e. phone number, address, e-mail, fax, etc)
A minimum of three keywords must be used for purposes of indexing.
Any form of visual or electronic media must be labeled and inserted into the text.
Tables must also have intelligible titles and must be inserted into the text directly.
Referees
The author
can suggest a list of three-five potential referees in the review process. All
details of phone, address, fax, etc must be provided. No guarantees as to who
the reviewing editor will be. Consult the American
Chemical Societies ethical guidelines for reviewing of manuscripts.
Reprints
Reprint order forms
are available online for the ordering of reprints.
Supplementary Material Deposit
Spectral data (NMR, IR, Raman, ESR, etc) can be submitted in JPEQ, GIF, PS, or PDF format, as well as any other needed data.
3D coordinate structures (in pdb, mol, xyz or other common formats), if available, should also be submitted.
Checkpoint files from GAUSSIAN, GAMESS or any other quantum chemical package can be used for validation of results by readers of the manuscript or by the individual to whom the manuscript is being reviewed by.
Publication
Charge
Any other wishing to contribute for publication fees,
should contact the editor-in-chief via
an e-mail request, for further information.
