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. Review Articles are critically evaluated on the specific area in natural product chemistry. If you would like to contribute to the journal with a review article, the authors must initially contact to editorial office, as such articles are normally invited. 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 (analytical methods must include method validation and uncertainty evalaution parts in the main text and the details must be given in the supporting information file), chemotaxonomic investigations, chemical ecology, and biotechnology. 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 must be made available as supplementary material from the corresponding author for new compounds. 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 six pages, including references. In order to reduce manuscript length, specific experimental details and NMR and HRMS spectra must be made available as supplementary material from the corresponding author or new compounds. The short report articles should not have more than 25 references. Special Issues and Book reviews are collections of articles on the specific topics in areas related to aims and scope of journal publishes in the journal. Offers for the special topics must be applied to the editorial office. 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 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 numbers in square brackets 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: Journal citation A.C. Goren, B.N. Zhou and D.G.I. Kingston (2003). Cytotoxic and DNA damaging activity of some aporphine alkaloids from Stephania dinklagei, Planta Med . 69, 867-868. Chapter citation A. Ulubelen and G. Topcu (1992). Diterpenoids from Salvia species and their pharmacological activities, In: Studies in Natural Products, ed: Atta-ur Rahman, Elsevier Science, Amsterdam, Netherlands, pp.363-381. Book citation R.P. Adams (1995). Identification of essential oil components by gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy. Allured publishing Co. Carol Stream, Illinois.
