HETEROCYCLES - An International Journal for Reviews
and Communications in Heterocyclic Chemistry - publishes accounts of research
in the field of organic and physical organic chemistry of heterocyclic compounds
and natural products having the heterocyclic system.
Manuscripts are considered for publication on the proviso that they have not been, nor will be, published elsewhere. Ordinarily a manuscript will be sent to two competent referees for critical appraisal. An author is free to suggest the names of appropriate scientific experts who might be called upon for refereeing purposes. Comments of referees may be provided to the authors, but in no instance will the names of the referees be disclosed to the author without the referee’s prior permission.
Manuscripts must be written in a clear and accurate fashion with careful attention to detail. When this is not the author’s native language, the manuscript should receive language polishing from a native speaker before submission. |
| |
| Four Types of manuscripts may be submitted. |
| |
| 1. Communications: |
| Communications must feature novel and significant work of exceptional interest in preliminary form; they may be either experimentally oriented or entirely theoretical. The editors will consider manuscripts featuring urgent significant results. Contributions that are sensibly speculative or constitute new interpretations of older findings are appropriate. |
| |
| 2. Papers: |
Papers contain definitive and comprehensive accounts of significant findings obtained through original work in heterocyclic chemistry. Contributors who wish to have an experimental section included in their manuscripts should submit these manuscripts as Papers.
In the case of new compound the Microanalytical (C, H, N, O and then alphabetical) and spectral (IR, NMR, MS, etc.) data should be reported. |
| |
| 3. Short Papers: |
Short papers should be concise accounts of studies of a limited scope.
Microanalytical ( C, H, N, O and then alphabetical ) and spectral ( IR, NMR, MS etc.) data should be reported in the case of new compound. |
| |
| 4. Reviews: |
| The Journal welcomes review-type manuscripts containing appropriate heterocyclic material. Especially welcome are reviews based, in part, on work in the author's laboratory as well as reviews distinguished by novel interpretations or presentations of the material. |
| |
| Announcements: |
| The Journal will print, upon request, announcements of meetings, new books, or other developments of interest to heterocyclic and natural product chemists. |
|
| Manuscript Preparation |
| |
| A. General Instructions |

| |
| B. Layout of Manuscripts |
| |
| 1. Arrangement: |
| Printing, on one side of the paper, should occupy the space within the typing area. |
| |
| 2. Typing area: |
| The text / image area of the first page should be 18 cm wide by 24 cm deep, including the title. The text / image area on all other pages should be 18 cm wide by approximately 25 cm deep and fit on A-4 paper (21.0 cm x 29.6 cm). Please do not use U.S. letter size paper. |
| |
| 3. Font and Line Spacing: |
| Manuscripts should be printed using a 12 pt font and 1.50 line spacing. |
| |
| 4. Position on page: |
| The Title, Author's name(s), Address, and Abstract must be inset 3.5 cm from both the left & right margins. |
| |
| 5. Heading: |
The Heading to the paper must be comprised of:
TITLE (in ROMAN CAPITALS: not underlined)
Author's name(s) (Initial letters only in capitals)
Author's address and e-mail address for correspondence in English.
[Author's name should include the first name (without honorifics) and the senior author should be indicated by an asterisk(*)] |
| |
| 6. Tables: |
| Tables must be inserted by the author(s) at the appropriate points in the text. |
| |
| 7. Structura formulae, Figures, Illustrations and Graphs: |
| These must be original prints, original line drawings or sharp glossy photographs. They should be inserted by the Author(s) at the appropriate points in the text. Captions and wording on the figures should, as much as possible, be printed. |
| |
| 8. Heading and Sub-headings: |
| Main headings, in capitals, should begin 3.5 cm from the left-hand margin. |
| |
| 9. Nomenclature: |
| All nomenclature should be simple, unambiguous, and in conformity with conventions developed by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry. |
| |
| 10. Parentheses of Compound Number: |
| Parentheses should be located if the compound number is an equivalent of the word immediately preceeding the number. |
| |
| 11. Acknowledgements and References: |
| Acknowledgements may be included as a separate section. Authors are requested to submit their references according to the following format: |
