Chemical Communications
Guidelines for Authors
5.0 Administration
Manuscripts should be directed to the appropriate Editor, who will acknowledge receipt, but authors should contact the Cambridge office if they have not had a response after a reasonable time. All authors submitting work for publication are required to sign an exclusive Licence to Publish, without which publication cannot proceed. The Licence to Publish should be agreed during the online submission process. Alternatively a completed form, available from the RSC web site, can be sent to the Editor by fax or post.
Authors must provide, in addition to their full contact address, an E-mail address, telephone and fax numbers. They should state explicitly if E-mail and/or fax should not be used to send referees comments.
Communications will be refereed as quickly as possible and a decision will be sent to the author when two concurring opinions are received. RSC policy on the initial assessment of submissions, and details of criteria for publication, can be found on ReSourCe.
