Guide for Authors
Submission of Papers
All manuscripts should be submitted electronically through Editorial Manager which can be accessed at https://www.editorialmanager.com/CHEMOSPHERE/default.aspx.
During submission papers should be marked for the attention of a subject Editor or the relevant section, if possible. Failure to provide this information will significantly delay processing of the manuscript.
Types of article
Chemosphere accepts the following article types. Please note that papers with a routine nature and lacking originality, novelty and uniqueness will not be accepted for publication.
Research papers that meet the Aims and Scope of the journal reporting original and previously unpublished work. The Editors generally encourage brevity for all Research Papers should preferably not exceed 6,500 words (excluding refs.)
Review articles should preferably be 10,000 words or less (excluding refs.)
Short communications must not exceed 2,000 words and will be given priority for rapid publication. A Short Communication should be of significant scientific merit (a novel finding that warrants immediate publication).
Letter to the Editor are a written discussion of papers published in the journal. Letters are accepted on the basis of new scientific insights on the particular topic, critical additional information, relevance to the published paper and timeliness. Authors will be invited to submit a Reply to respond to points raised. The Editor will decide on the publication of Letters and Replies based on scientific merit, importance to the raised issues, and interest to the general audience. Letters and Replies of an unprofessional or unscientific nature, or containing personal invective, will not be considered.
Proposals for Special Issues composed predominantly of Research Papers that focus on a specific topic or theme will also be considered. Full information can be found here. Editorials for Special issues are submitted by invitation only through the Editorial Manager portal.
Each figure or table should be considered equal to 300 words. The number of figures and/or tables should not exceed a total amount of seven. Every page of the manuscript, including the title page, references, tables, etc. should be numbered. However, in the text no reference should be made to page numbers; if necessary, one may refer to sections.In case you have serious reasons for submitting a paper that is longer that the aforementioned word limits, make sure you include convincing arguments in your cover letter. Please avoid lengthy submissions if possible.
