Manuscript Submission Overview

Submission Process

Manuscripts for CHModTec should be submitted online at publish@aaatec.org. The submitting author, who is generally the corresponding author, is responsible for the manuscript during the submission and peer-review process. The submitting authors must ensure that all co-authors have been included in the author list and that they all have read and approved the submitted version of the manuscript.

Accepted File Format

Authors must use the Microsoft Word (CHModTec-template) to prepare their manuscript. Manuscripts prepared in Microsoft Word must be converted into a single file before submission. Please insert your graphics (schemes, figures, etc.) in the main text after the paragraph of its first citation.

Cover Letter

A cover letter must be included with each manuscript submission. It should alsobe concise and explain why the content of your paper is significant, placing your findings in the context of existing work and why it fits the scope of the journal. Please confirm that neither the manuscript nor any parts of its content are currently under consideration or published in another journal.

Preparation of a Manuscript

General Considerations

Research manuscripts should comprise:
- Front matter: Title, Author list, Affiliations, Abstract, Keywords
- Research manuscript sections: Introduction, Discussion, Materials and Methods
- Back matter: Acknowledgments, References.

Review manuscripts should comprise the front matter, literature review sections and the back matter. The template file can also be used to prepare the front and back matter of your review manuscript. It is not necessary to follow the remaining structure.

Abstract Graphic: Authors are encouraged to provide a graphical abstract to display on the website alongside the textual abstract. It should be a self-explanatory snapshot of your article giving a view on its rationale, study design, and/or conclusions. When prepared in Adobe Photoshop or Microsoft PowerPoint, the frame should be 7-18 cm in width and height. The text should be kept to a minimum and the font size comprised between 9 pt and 14 pt to ensure readability. The graphic should be provided as a JPG, PNG, GIF or TIFF file.

Abbreviations should be defined in parentheses the first time they appear in the abstract, main text and in figure captions.

SI Units (International System of Units) should be used for this journal.

Equations: If you are using Word, please use either the Microsoft Equation Editor or the MathType add-on in your paper. Equations should be editable by the editorial office and not appear in a picture format.

Research Data: To maintain the transparency and reproducibility of research results, authors are encouraged to make their experimental and research data openly available either by depositing into data repositories or by publishing the data and files as "Supplementary Materials".

Title:
The title of your manuscript should be concise, specific and re levant.

Author List and Affiliations:
Authors' full first and last names must be provided. The initials of any middle names can be added. Should be indicated complete address information including city, zip code, state/province, country, and all email addresses. At least one author should be designated as corresponding author, and his or her email address should be included at the end of the affiliation section.

Abstract:
The abstract should be a total of about 200-300 words. The abstract should follow the style of structured abstracts, but without headings:
1) Background: Place the question addressed in a broad context and highlight the purpose of the study;
2) Methods: Describe briefly the main methods;
3) Results: Summarize the main findings of article;
4) Conclusion: Indicate the main conclusions or interpretations. The abstract should be an objective representation of the article: it must not contain results which are not presented and substantiated in the main text and should not exaggerate the main conclusions.

Keywords:
About ten pertinent keywords need to be added after the abstract.

Research Manuscript Sections

Introduction:
The introduction should briefly place the study in a broad context and highlight why it is important. It should define the purpose of the work and its significance. The current state of the research field should be reviewed carefully and key publications should be cited. Please highlight controversial and diverging hypotheses when necessary. Finally, briefly mention the main aim of the work and highlight the main conclusions. As far as possible, please keep the introduction comprehensible to scientists outside your particular field of research.

Results:
This section may be divided by subheadings. It should provide a concise and precise description of the experimental results, their interpretation as well as the experimental conclusions that can be drawn.

Discussion:
This section may be divided by subheadings. Authors should discuss the results and how they can be interpreted in perspective of previous studies and of the working hypotheses. The findings and their implications should be discussed in the broadest context possible. Future research directions may also be highlighted.

Materials and Methods:
This section should be divided by subheadings. Materials and Methods should be described with sufficient details to allow others to replicate and build on published results. Please note that publication of your manuscript implicates that you must make all materials, data, and protocols associated with the publication available to readers. Please disclose at the submission stage any restrictions on the availability of materials or information. New methods and protocols should be described in detail while well-established methods can be briefly described and appropriately cited.

Conclusions:
This section is not mandatory, but can be added to the manuscript if the discussion is unusually long or complex.

Preparing Figures and Tables

All figure files should be separately uploaded during submission.
Figures must be provided at a sufficiently high resolution (minimum 1000 pixels width/height, or a resolution of 300 dpi or higher). All Figure file formats are accepted. However, TIFF, JPEG, EPS and PDF files are preferred.
All Figures and Tables should also be inserted into the main text close to their first citation and must be numbered following their number of appearance (Figure 1, Figure 2, Table 1, etc.).
All Figures and Tables should have a short explanatory title and a caption.
All table columns should have an explanatory heading. To facilitate the copy-editing of larger tables, smaller fonts may be used, but in no less than 8 pt. in size. Authors should use the Table option of Microsoft Word to create tables.
Authors are encouraged to prepare figures and schemes in color (RGB at 8-bit per channel).

Editorial Procedures and Peer-Review

- Authors should accurately present their research findings and include an objective discussion of the significance of their findings.
- Data and methods used in the research need to be presented in sufficient detail in the paper, so that other researchers can replicate the work.
- Raw data should preferably be publicly deposited by the authors before submission of their manuscript. Authors need to at least have the raw data readily available for presentation to the referees and the editors of the journal, if requested. Authors need to ensure appropriate measures are taken so that raw data is retained in full for a reasonable time after publication.
- Simultaneous submission of manuscripts to more than one journal is not tolerated.
- If errors and inaccuracies are found by the authors after publication of their paper, they need to be promptly communicated to the editors of this journal so that appropriate actions can be taken.
- Your manuscript should not contain any information that has already been published. If you include already published figures or images, please obtain the necessary permission from the copyright holder to publish under the CC-BY license.
