The Chinese Journal of Structural Chemistry offers web-based manuscript submission and peer-review. This service guarantees fast and safe submission of manuscripts and rapid assessment processes. Online submission is mandatory, and conventional submission of manuscripts via courier service or e-mail is no longer accepted. Please prepare your manuscript in keeping with the guidelines given below.

For the submission of new, revised and final accepted manuscripts, a single Word DOC file containing graphical abstract, text, tables and all graphics should be uploaded as “Main Document” on the File Upload screen. Tables and all graphics need to be embedded in the text of the DOC file where they belong (not collected at the end).

Note: Do not choose the file designation “Image” to upload graphics as separate files when uploading new manuscripts. Supporting Information is uploaded as a single, separate PDF file with all graphics embedded by choosing the file designation “Supporting Information”.
