We invite you to submit your work presented at the 2009 International Symposium on Metallomics for publication in a themed issue of Metallomics.

We welcome the submission of primary research full papers and communications, Critical, Tutorial and Mini reviews. If you would like to submit a review article based on the work presented at the conference, please do contact us to discuss this further.

The deadline for the submission of articles for the themed issue is 31st July 2009. 

All articles will follow the usual peer review process and will be published as Advance Articles online as soon as they are ready. The conference issue will be published in early 2009. All accepted papers will have a conference footnote added. Corresponding authors of all accepted manuscripts will receive a copy of the printed issue and a PDF file of their article so that they can produce reprints. 

Guidelines for submission

1. Submissions may be reviews, full papers or communications. 

If you consider that your presentation at the conference describes work that is in its initial stage and the early results merit urgent publication, then consideration should be given to submitting a communication of approximately 3 typeset pages. This does not prohibit the later publication of a full paper. Authors are encouraged to use the template to prepare their manuscripts, available on our website. 

2. All papers will be subject to the usual stringent peer review process. 

Referees will assess papers according to the normal criteria for publication: (i) originality and quality of scientific content, (ii) contribution to existing knowledge, and (iii) appropriateness of length to content of new science.  

3. Submissions should be made via ReSourCe, please state that your article was presented at ISM 2009.

Please contact the Editor, Niamh O'Connor if you have any further questions about submitting papers to Metallomics. 

We look forward to receiving your contribution.
