INSTRUCTION FOR AUTHORS
|
Preparation of Manuscripts Manuscripts should be prepared in English using a word processor. Review Articles are critically evaluated on the specific area in organic synthesis and synthetic polymers. If you would like to contribute to the journal with a review article, the authors must initially contact to Professor Turan Ozturk , as such articles are normally invited. Original Articles are manuscripts describing new synthesis startegies and developements in organic synthesis and synthetic polymers. The synthesis of nano materials and their properties and application reports are also welcome to journal. These manuscripts should reflect completed investigations rather than fragmentary parts of a larger study. In order to reduce manuscript length, specific experimental details, NMR and HRMS (please check for the sample) spectra should be made available as supplementary material from the corresponding author for the novel compounds, at least one representative for each molecule group. Authors are must use template (Template file for article) for the preparation of manuscripts. Communications are suitable for reporting the urgent results of the large study, synthesis of limited amount of novel compounds with known methodology and any important biological activity/application reports. Manuscripts describing routine sytnhesis of limited amount of analogs without any biological assessment or application are generally not acceptable. Communications should be kept to a maximum of eight pages, including references. In order to reduce manuscript length, specific experimental details and NMR and HRMS (please check for the sample) spectra must be made available as supplementary material from the corresponding author for new compounds. Authors are must use template (Template file for communications ) for the preparation of manuscripts. 1. Introduction 4. Present Study Special Issues and Book reviews are collections of articles on the specific topics in areas
related to synthetic organic chemistry. Authors for the special topics must apply to review editor Professor Turan Ozturk. As the manuscript languages is English, any author who is not fluent enough in English is encouraged to consult a fluent colleague or a paid editing service for the preperation of the manuscripts. Manuscripts having language deficiencies, i.e. grammar, fluency, etc., create heavy problems during the review process. Such manuscripts might be returned to the authors for correcting the language deficiencies. Authors are encouraged to attach an authenticate report during the submission to make sure that there is no plagiarism problem. Manuscripts submitted to ACG publications are routinely screened by a software to check the originality of the submitted articles. It should be noted that ACG publications are committed to deterring plagiarism and self-plagiarism Title of the manuscript should be as brief as possible and typed to the template file with affiliation and addresses of all the authors, including corresponding author with an asterisk. ORCID Authors must adhere to SI units. When using a word which is or is asserted to be a proprietary term or trade mark authors must use the symbol ® or TM or alternatively a footnote can be inserted using the wording below:
Book, section
of a book, encyclopedia or thesis: (i) Surname(s) and Initial(s) of author(s) (authors separated by semicolons), (ii) Title of chapter (iii) Title of publication (in italics), (iv) Name of the editor(s) (if applicable), (v) Name of publisher
and place of publication, (vi) Year of publication. Plagiarism Check and Ethics Any manuscript submitted, soon to be submitted or in press at any other journal will not be considered by Organic Communications, and it is authors responsibility to inform the Editor of Organic Communication if such event exists. If the submitted manuscript is a revised version of a previously rejected by OC, the authors must indicate previous submission in their cover letter and explain the reason/changes that they made in the revised one. The Ethical Guidelines for Publication in Journals and Reviews issued by the European Association of Chemical and Molecular Sciences are applied by Organic Communications. Authors of all the manuscripts submitted to OC automatically accept the guidelines given in the Ethical Guidelines for Publication in Journals and Reviews . Authors are encouraged to attach an authenticate report during the submission to make sure that there is no plagiarism problem. Manuscripts submitted to OC publications are routinely screened by a software to check the originality of the submitted articles. It should be noted that OC publications are committed to deterring plagiarism and self-plagiarism ACG Publications journals use iThenticate ® software to check the originality of submitted manuscripts for plagiarism. If a duplication detected by the editorial office and reviewers, the manuscript will directly be rejected. If the authors use the same sentences of their or another authors previous work with citation without quotation mark, it will still be considered as self-plagiarism and plagiarism,respectively. Organic Communication has the right of removing any article published in OC, and banning the authors submitting their studies in future if any ethical violation is identified. Copyright It is a condition of publication that authors vest or license copyright in their articles, including abstracts, in ACG Publications. This enables us to ensure full copyright protection and to disseminate the article, and the Journal, to the widest possible readership in electronic formats as appropriate. Authors must accept the articles published in the journal for free in all around of world. To read and download of published papers is free for the scientific purposes. Supplementary Material Supplementary materials could be sent together with manuscript submission such as spectra, video, Picture etc. Publication Fee Organic Communications (OC) is an OPEN ACCESS journal, having a primary aim of allowing the researchers to have free access to a broader scope of scientific articles. In this context, it provides the authors with affordable open access publishing opportunities across the world. ACG Publications does not have any publishing income other than the sponsors, and has made it its goal to release the publications only for the benefit of the scientific community. On the other hand, it has been seriously difficult to continue without enough income. Thus, Organic Communications has to charge the accepted manuscripts with a small publication fee, compared with the other online scientific journals, starting from year of 2018. It should be noticed that Organic Communications is not a profit-making establishment. Its goal is to make it possible for scientists to access to their own knowledge, produced by their own efforts and financial sources, through their colleges and institutions free of charge. This was the greatest desire of Professor Katritzky, who is the pioneer of OPEN ACCESS publishing. In this respect, we would like to express our expectation to the authors to be supportive of this decision, so that our scientific publications can be sustained at reasonable prices. We believe that you will save Organic Communications from impact factors of big publication cartels by publishing your studies in Organic Communications and citing the studies published in Organic Communications in your articles Considering the primary aim of OC, discounts and waivers are available for the authors who (i) publish articles regularly and (ii) are from the least developed countries, respectively. To apply the second option (ii), corresponding author and 70% of the authors of the concerning manuscript must be from those countries and the study must be conducted in the least developed countries. Please visit the page concerning the list of the least developed countries; http://www.un.org/en/development/desa/policy/cdp/ldc/ldc_list.pdf . It should not be noted that the fees can only be requested after a manuscript is accepted, and this will not cause any slight change in the manuscript evaluation policy.
*Discounts are available for the authors who make regular contribution to Organic Communications. a) 30% discount for the authors who have one article in last 2 years in the Journal. b) No charge for one article and 50% discount for the second article for the authors who have at least two articles in two years in the Journal. Proof Corrections Fee The proof corrections must be done carefully by authors. When proof corrections returned to Journal further corrections are not allowed. If the authors request corrections or withdraw the published paper because of their personal fault they have to pay corrections fee as 1500 USD.If the authors would like to publish their papers as fast track they must pay 1000 USD fee additionally and should declare it during submission . Peer Review Policy All published research articles in Organic Communicaitons have undergone rigorous single blind peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by expert referees.
