Preparation and Submission of Manuscripts

The Editor and Editorial Board of the Journal of Combinatorial Chemistry have developed a Scope and Editorial Policy [PDF] that outlines the content areas and manuscript types covered by the journal and provides information regarding submission of manuscripts. Author Instructions for the journal include an option for using brace numbers (also referred to as chemset numbering) to denote library members and compounds. An example of this numbering system is provided.

Authors are encouraged to use the Journal of Combinatorial Chemistry Document Templates for preparing manuscripts for submission as well as for preparing final, accepted manuscripts.
