Information for Authors

NOTE: Authors may now choose to submit their own Manuscript PDF File for use during the peer review process, or allow the system to generate a PDF automatically. [See details...] Note that there are special instructions for Preparing and Submitting Manuscripts Using TeX/LaTeX.

Preparation and Submission of Manuscripts

Inorganic Chemistry requires Web submission of all manuscripts. Authors are encouraged to use the Inorganic Chemistry Document Templates for preparation of their Communications and Articles. Authors who choose not to employ a template are asked to place their graphics within the text, as this will produce documents that are easier to review.
