ANALYST, JANUARY 1986, VOL. 111 INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS 125 The Analyst publishes papers on all aspects of the theory and practice of analytical chemistry, fundamental and applied, inorganic and organic, including chemical, physical and biological methods. Papers may be submitted for publication by members of The Royal Society of Chemistry or by non-members. There is no page charge for papers published in The Analyst. The following types of papers will be considered. Full papers, describing original work, Shortpapers, also describing original work, but shorter and of limited breadth of subject matter; there will be no difference in the quality of the work described in full and short papers. Communications, which must be on an urgent matter and be of obvious scientific importance.Rapidity of publication is enhanced if diagrams are omitted, but tables and formulae can be included. Communications should not be simple claims for priority: this facility for rapid publication is intended for brief descriptions of work that has progressed to a stage at which it is likely to be valuable to workers faced with similar problems. A fuller paper may be offered subsequently, if justified by later work. Communications will normally be examined by one referee. Reviews, which must be a critical evaluation of the existing state of knowledge on a particular facet of analytical chem- istry. Every paper (except Communications) will be submitted to at least two referees, by whose advice the Editorial Board of The Analyst will be guided as to its acceptance or rejection.Papers that are accepted must not be published elsewhere except by permission. Submission of a manuscript will be regarded as an undertaking that the same material is not being considered for publication by another journal. Copyright. The whole of the literary matter (including tables, figures, diagrams and photographs) in The Analyst is copyright and may not be reproduced without permission from the Society or such other owner of the copyright as may be indicated. Regional Advisory Editors. For the benefit of potential contributors outside the United Kingdom, a Panel of Regional Advisory Editors exists. Requests for help or advice on any matter related to the preparation of papers and their submission for publication in The Analyst can be sent to the nearest member of the Panel.Currently serving Regional Advisory Editors are listed in each issue of The Analyst. Manuscripts. Papers should be typewritten in double spacing on one side only of the paper. Three copies of text and illustrations should be sent to the Editor, The Analyst, The Royal Society of Chemistry, Burlington House, Piccadilly, London W1V OBN, and a further copy retained by the author. Proofs. The address to which proofs are to be sent should accompany the paper. Proofs should be carefully checked and returned immediately (by Air Mail from outside Europe). Reprints. Fifty reprints of each paper are supplied free on request. Additional reprints can be purchased if ordered at the time of publication. Details are sent to authors with the proofs.Notes on the Writing of Papers for The Analyst Manuscripts should be in accordance with the style and usage shown in recent copies of The Analyst. Conciseness of expression should be aimed at: clarity is increased by adopting a logical order of presentation, with suitable paragraph or section headings. To facilitate abstracting and indexing by Chemical Abstracts Service, and other abstracting organisations, it would be helpful if at least one forename could be included with each author's family name. Descriptions of new methods should be supported by ex- perimental results showing accuracy, precision and selectivity. The recommended order of presentation is as indicated below: Title. This should be as brief as is consistent with an adequate indication of the original features of the work.The analytical method used in the work should be mentioned in the title. Synopsis. A synopsis of about 100 words, giving the salient features and drawing attention to the novel aspects, should be provided for all papers. Keywords. Up to 5 keywords or key phrases, indicating the topics of importance in the work described, should be included after the synopsis. Aim of investigation. An introductory statement of the object of the investigation with any essential historical background, followed, if necessary, by a brief account of preliminary experimental work. Description of the experimental procedures. Working details must be given concisely. Analytical procedures should preferably be given in the form of instructions; well known operations should not be described in detail.Results. These are best presented in tabular form, followed by any statistical evaluation, which should be in accordance with accepted practice. Discussion of results. This section will comment on the scope of the method and its validity, followed by a statement of any conclusions drawn from the work. Nomenclature. Current internationally recognised (IUPAC) chemical nomenclature should be used. Common trivial names may be used, but should first be defined in terms of IUPAC nomenclature. SI units. The SI system of units should be used. These units are summarised in the Appendix. The effect on current style of papers for The Analyst includes the following: dimensions should preferably be given in metres (m) or in millimetres (mm); temperatures should be expressed in K or "C (not O F ) ; wavelengths should be expressed in nanometres (nm) frequency should be expressed in Hz (or kHz, etc.), not in c/s or c.P.s.; rotational frequency can be denoted by use of s-1; radionuclide activity will be expressed in becquerels (Bq) or curies (Ci); 1 Ci = 3.7 x 1010 Bq; the micron (p) will not be used; 10-6 m will be 1 pm.(not mp);126 ANALYST, JANUARY 1986, VOL. 111 Abbreviations. SI units should be used. Molarity is generally expressed as a decimal fraction (e.g., 0.375 M). Abbreviational full stops are omitted after the common contractions of metric units (e.g., ml, g, pg, mm) and other units represented by symbols. Abbreviations other than those of recognised units should be used sparingly in the text.Percentage concentrations of solutions should be stated in internationally recognised terms. Thus the symbols “m” for mass and “V” for volume are to be used instead of “w” for weight and “v” for volume. The following show the manner of expressing these percentages together with an acceptable alternative given in parentheses: % m/m (g per 100 g); % m/V (g per 100 ml); YO V/V. Further implications of the use of the term “mass” are that “relative atomic mass” of an element (A,) replaces atomic weight, and “relative molecular mass” of a substance (Mr) replaces molecular weight. Concentrations of solutions of the common acids are often conveniently given as dilutions of the concentrated acids, such as “dilute hydrochloric acid (1 + 4) ,” which signifies 1 volume of the concentrated acid mixed with 4 volumes of water.This avoids the ambiguity of 1 : 4, which might represent either 1 + 4 or 1 + 3. Dilutions of other solutions can be expressed in a similar manner. Tables and diagrams.’The number of tables should be kept to a minimum. Column headings should be brief. Tables consisting of only two columns can often be arranged horizontally. Tables must be supplied with titles and be so set out as to be understandable without reference to the text. Either tables or graphs may be used but not both for the same set of results, unless important additional information is given by so doing. The information given by a straight-line calibration graph can usually be conveyed adequately as an equation or statement in the text.The style used in headings to tables and in labels on the axes of graphs, where the numbers represent numerical values, is, for example: Volume/ml. The diagonal lines (solidus) will not be used to represent “per.” In accordance with the SI system, units such as grams per millilitre are already expressed in the form g ml-1. For a table (or graph), this would appear as: Concentration of solution/g ml-l. It should be noted that the “combined” unit, g ml-1, must not have any “intrusive” numbers. To express concentration in grams per 100 milli- litres, the word “per” will still be required: Concentration/g per 100 ml. It may be preferable for an author to express concentrations in grams per litre (g 1-1) rather than grams per 100 ml. Most diagrams will be retraced and lettered in order to achieve uniform line thicknesses and lettering size and style, so it is not essential to prepare specially traced drawings.However, all diagrams should be carefully and clearly drawn on good quality paper and should be clearly lettered. If possible, complicated flow charts, circuit diagrams, etc., should be supplied as artwork for direct reproduction in order to avoid time-consuming and expensive redrawing. Three sets of illustrations should be provided, two sets of which may be made by any convenient copying process for transmission to the referees. All diagrams should be accompanied by a separately typed set of captions. Wherever possible, extensive identifying lettering should be placed in the caption rather than on lines on graphs, etc.Photographs. Photographs should be submitted only if they convey essential information that cannot be shown in any other way. They should be submitted as glossy or matt prints made to give the maximum detail. Colour photographs will be accepted only when a black-and-white photograph fails to show some vital feature and can be supplied either as prints or transparencies. References. References should be numbered serially in the text by means of superscript figures, e.g., Foote and Delves,l Burns et a1.2 or Hirozawa,3 and collected in numerical order under “References” at the end of the paper. They should be listed, with the authors’ initials, in the following form (double-spaced typing): 1. 2. 3. Foote, J. W., and Delves, H. T., Analyst, 1983, 108, 492.Burns, D. T., Glockling, F., and Harriott, M., J . Chromatogr. , 1980, 200, 305. Hirozawa, S. T., in Kolthoff, I. M., and Elving, P. J., Editors, “Treatise on Analytical Chemistry, Part 11,” Volume 14, Wiley, New York, 1971, p. 23. Journal titles should be abbreviated according to the Chemical Abstracts Service Source Index (CASSI). For books, the edition (if not the first), the publisher and the place and date of publication should be given, followed by the page number. Authors must, in their own interest, check their lists of references against the original papers; second-hand references are a frequent source of error. The number of references must be kept to a minimum.
