Journal of Materials Chemistry
Guidelines for Authors
4.0 Administration
Receipt of a paper will be acknowledged, and the paper will be given a reference number which authors are asked to quote on all their subsequent correspondence. If no such acknowledgement has been received after a reasonable period of time, authors should check with the Editorial Office as to whether the paper or the acknowledgement has gone astray.
4.1 Editorial policy
Papers that are selected for peer review by the Editorial Office will normally be submitted to at least two referees, by whose advice the Editor will be guided as to its acceptability. Full details are available via ReSourCe. Papers that are accepted must not be published elsewhere except by permission of the Royal Society of Chemistry. Submission of a manuscript will be regarded as an undertaking that the same material is not being considered for publication by another journal. Conditions governing acceptance are available from the Editorial Office.
4.2 Copyright
The whole of the literary matter (including tables, figures, diagrams and photographs) in Journal of Materials Chemistry is subject to copyright and may not be reproduced without permission from The Royal Society of Chemistry and such other owner of the copyright as may be indicated.
4.3 Reprints
A PDF reprint of each paper will be supplied free of charge.
