INSTRUCTION FOR AUTHORS

Preparation of Manuscripts

Manuscripts should be prepared in English using a word processor.

Authors are must use templates (Template file for original article) or (Template file for short report) for the preparation of manuscripts. The template offers the authors many features that ease manuscript preparation and submission; all graphics and Tables can be integrated into the manuscript where author wishes to place them. Requested supporting information must be prepared as shown in the template of supporting information.

The essential oil and fatty acids and related papers should be prepared the according to requested rules which is described in the following link "Guide for essential oils, fatty acids and related studies". Manuscripts related to essential oils and fatty acid directly should sent to essentialoils@acgpubs.org.

Original Articles are manuscripts describing structure elucidation novel compounds, synthesis of naturally occurring compounds and biological activities of natural compounds, as well as new analytical methods, chemotaxonomic investigations, chemical ecology, and biotechnology. These manuscripts should reflect completed investigations rather than fragmentary parts of a larger study.

Short Reports are suitable for reporting known metabolites from new biological sources, essential oil compositions, and new activities of known compounds. Manuscripts describing routine bioactivity screening (e.g., antimicrobial, antioxidant, antifeedant, etc.) of crude extracts or predictable and/or unexceptional bioactivity (e.g., antioxidant activity of polyphenolics, antimicrobial activity of essential oils), are generally not acceptable. Short reports should be kept to a maximum of five pages, including references. In order to reduce manuscript length, specific experimental details and spectra should be made available as supplementary material from the corresponding author (template of supporting information).

Manuscripts must be in English. Manuscripts by authors who are not native English speakers should be checked by a native speaker or a professional language editing service. Manuscripts that are incomprehensible or ambiguous, in the opinion of the Editor, will be returned to the authors for language correction.

Title of the manuscript should be as brief as possible and typed on a separate page with affiliation and addresses of all the authors, including corresponding author with an asterisk. The fax and e-mail number of the corresponding author should be provided as a foot note on the title page. Abstracts should be prepared maximum 200 words for all kind of submissions.

Manuscripts should be compiled in the following order: Title page; Abstract; Keywords; Introduction, Materials and Methods , Results and Discussion, Acknowledgments; Appendixes (as appropriate); References; using a decimal system for subsections. 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:

References
References should be cited in the text by Arabic superscripts and should be arranged in the list of references according to the numbers in the end of the main text. Unpublished results and personal communications should not be in the reference list, but may be mentioned in the text. If reference is made to papers submitted or in press, authors are requested to enclose a copy of manuscript or galley proof.

The following examples illustrate the format for reference:

Proof Corrections and 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 they have to pay corrections fee as 1500 Euro.
