Manuscript Submission

The documents listed below require the Adobe Acrobat™ PDF viewer, which can be downloaded and used free of charge from the Adobe site

Editorial Description (173 KB)	Provides a description of the concept of Science of Synthesis and the categorization system on which it is structured.
Instructions for Authors (122 KB)	Provides author guidelines for the production of a manuscript.
Sample Chapter (453 KB)	Provides an example of the style, format and content of the final work.
Hazard Information (543 KB)	Provides further guidelines on hazard information in addition to Section 1.3.7 "Safety" of the Instructions for Authors document.

As an author, you will be provided with a document template (scisynth.dot) to assist in the preparation of your manuscript. The document template should be used to apply the Science of Synthesis styles to the manuscript, so that the manuscript conforms to the entry requirements of the production process.

Drawings of chemical structures and IUPAC names of small molecules can be generated with Windows-compatible freeware available through Advanced Chemistry Development. Click here to download the software.

Two additional aids for preparing your references and drawings quickly and easily in the Science of Synthesis format can be obtained through the use of the software products, Endnote 7.0 and ChemDraw 8.0.
