Guidelines for Authors
Important Notes
KCS Publications uses CrossCheck's iThenticate software to detect instances of similarity in submitted manuscripts. Your manuscript may be screened for similarity to published material.
Authors are required to submit manuscript materials electronically using KCSnet Editorial System (KES) available at https://kchem.org/journal/jkcs.
Preparing Submission
Manuscripts must be prepared with these Templates(
Communications /
Articles
/
Notes
). And all figures and schemes are strongly be prepared in a Microsoft Power Point 2003(or a later version).
- Cover Letter justifying why the paper should be published in JKCS should include the following :
- Manuscript title.
- Corresponding author’s name, mailing address, phone number, fax number, and email address.
- A statement of the significance of the work.
- Manuscript is main text of the paper and should be prepared with templates. It may include the following in orders :
- Title and author list: Please consult samples of published papers.
- Abstract. Article must contain an abstract. The abstract should not exceed 150 words and should state briefly the purpose of the works, results and conclusions. Communication and Note do not contain an abstract.
- Keywords. 2-5 keywords should be included.
- Introduction. The introduction should state the purpose of the research and should include appropriate citations of previous and relevant works.
- Experimental Section. The manuscript should provide details of experiments so that the experiments are reproducible elsewhere by readers.
- Results and Discussions. Only relevant results are to be presented and discussed.
- Acknowledgements.
- Tables. Tables should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals and each table should be provided with a descriptive heading, which, together with the individual column headings, should make the table as self-explanatory as possible.
- Figure Captions
- References. All references should be numbered in the order in which they are first mentioned in the text and the complete list of reference should appeared at the end of the manuscript. Examples of reference are given below.
- Seto, C.; Whitesides, G. M. J. Am Chem. Soc. 1990, 112, 6409.
- Schmid, R.; McDonagh, A. F. In The Porphyrins; Dolphin, D., Ed.; Academic Press: New York, U.S.A., 1979; Vol. 6, p 258.
- Figures, Schemes and Tables. Figures, schemes and tables should be used only to present information more efficiently than the running text. And all figures and schemes should be prepared in a Microsoft Power point 2003(or a later version) file. Minimum resolution requirement for graphics is 600 dpi.
- Supplementary Materials. Almost any type of supplementary figures or data (detailed experimental procedures, tabulated data, etc.) can be accommodated in supplementary materials. Prepare the text in a Microsoft Power Point 2003(or a later version).
- Others. Nomenclature should conform to that recommended by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry, the American Chemical Society Committee on Nomenclature, and the Chemical Abstracts Service. Complicated chemical equations, schemes, and structures should be presented as furnished artwork, ready for reproduction. Mathematical expressions and chemical formulae should be typed, with capital, lower case, and Greek letters easily discernible and identified in the margin so that ambiguities are avoided. Avoid complicated superscripts and subscripts. Use fractional exponents instead of root signs. For papers dealing with X-ray crystallography, crystallographic data (in CIF format) should be deposited with one of the two databases below before publication.

Each structure deposited will be given a deposition number (CCDC-…,or CSD-…), and the number should be supplied at the Experimental section with the following standard text: Crystallographic data for the structures reported here have been deposited with CCDC (or FIZ) (Deposition No. CCDC-xxxxxx (1) or CSD-xxxxxx (1)). These data can be obtained free of charge via http://www.ccdc.cam.ac.uk/conts/retrieving. html or from CCDC, 12 Union Road, Cambridge CB2 1EZ, UK, email: deposit@ccdc.cam.ac.uk (or FIZ, D-76344, Eggenstein-Leopoldshafen, Germany, e-mail: crysdata@fizkarlsruhe.de). - Manuscript Checklist.
