New Journal of Chemistry

2.0 Article types

2.1 Articles

Full papers contain original and significant work that is likely to be of wide general appeal or exceptional interest in its specialised area. However, work that has appeared in print in a short form such as an NJC Letter or Chemical Communication is normally acceptable. Note that the Society strongly discourages the fragmentation of a substantial body of work into a number of short publications.

2.2 Letters

NJC Letters are concise articles which report results of immediate interest to the chemistry community: they may be complete publications, though a subsequent paper may be justified, and should contain a brief experimental section.

2.3 Opinions

Opinions are short articles presenting an opinion, hypothesis or conjecture on a topic judged to be of interest to the readership of the journal.

2.4 Perspectives

Perspectives are brief reviews giving the personal viewpoint of a leading scientist in his/her area of research, setting it in the context of the work of others and looking forward to future developments. In some cases, pairs of collaborating scientists from different disciplines are invited to each give their own perspective on their common field of research in order to demonstrate the benefits of collaborative research and facilitate dialogue between communities. The majority of Perspectives are invited by the Editorial Office, however suggestions of suitable Perspectives in the form of a brief synopsis and biography of the author, are welcome.
