New Journal of Chemistry
Guidelines for Authors
4.0 Administration
Each article deemed suitable for consideration as a submission will be assessed by at least two independent referees. Authors are invited to suggest suitable referees for their article. However, it would not normally be appropriate to use only those referees nominated by the author. The decision to accept or reject a paper will be made on the basis of two agreeing reports. Authors who disagree strongly with the result may appeal to the New Journal of Chemistry Editorial Board through the Managing Editor, Montpellier.
No work submitted to NJC should simultaneously be submitted to or be under current consideration by any other journal. Contributions which have appeared or have been accepted for publication with essentially the same content in another journal are not suitable for consideration by NJC. In addition the unnecessary fragmentation of results to maximise the number of publications is unacceptable. Unnecessary fragmentation is itself a valid reason for rejection of manuscripts.
It is the author's responsibility to declare and cite all unpublished work directly related to any new submission to NJC, including work in press or submitted to another journal.
