INFORMATION FOR AUTHORS (JANUARY 2012)
The Turkish Journal of Chemistry accepts original articles and letters to the Editor in various fields of research in chemistry and chemical engineering. Submissions from contributors of all nationalities are welcome. The Editor may invite reviews covering recent developments in particular fields of interest. Manuscripts can only be submitted through our on-line system http://journals.tubitak.gov.tr/chemistry/ Manuscripts must be written in Word format, double-spaced throughout.

Captions must be written in sentence case (e.g., Spectrum of high-pressure mercury vapor lamp.) All tables and figures must be numbered consecutively and given at the end of the manuscript. The resolution of images should not be less than 118 pixels/cm when width is set to 16 cm. Images must be scanned at 1200 dpi resolution and submitted in jpeg or tiff format.

Notes on figures that are submitted as individual files: Figures that are charts, diagrams, or drawings must be submitted in a modifiable format, i.e. our graphics personnel should be able to modify them. Therefore, if the program with which the figure is drawn has a “save as” option, it must be saved as “*.ai” or “*.pdf”. If the “save as” option does not include these extensions, then the figure must be copied and pasted into a blank Microsoft Word document as an editable object. It must not be pasted as an image file (tiff, jpeg, or eps) unless it is a photograph.
