Journal of Energy Chemistry雜志要求

Preparation of manuscripts (Template)

The manuscripts should be printed on good quality A4 paper in a 12 pt Times New Roman font. All manuscripts should include: a title, list of authors, full addresses of authors, an abstract, keywords, all sections of the body of the manuscript, footnotes, and references.

The title should clearly and accurately indicate the contents of the article or communication and should be expressed in adequate scientific terms. No abbreviations should be used in the title.

The full addresses of authors should be placed below the title. 

Footnotes should be included on the first page to give the phone number, fax number, and e-mail address of the author of correspondence, and if applicable, information regarding funding. 

We request that authors should submit abstracts for both articles and communications. Abstracts should state briefly the reason for the work, the significant results, and conclusions.

Keywords should be given at the bottom of the abstract to serve as guidelines for indexing.

The body of the manuscript should be subdivided into the following sequence of the sections: Introduction, Experimental, Results and discussion, Conclusions, and References.

Tables and figures must be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals and should be self-explanatory. Tables must have a brief descriptive title and include footnotes if necessary.“Figure” should be spelled out instead of being written“Fig.” Figures should have figure captions, either with the figures or collected on a separate sheet. The contents of figures, tables, and word descriptions should not be duplicated.Important instructions concerning Figures and Tables are listed as follows:

Each figure should be located at bottom of the paragraph where it is mentioned first in the text.

Size and font of all words including the X and Y axis, units and legends are 7.5 pt and Times New Roman, respectively. The first letter in the first word is capitalized.

Physical quantity is in italic, and the physical quantity and unit is separated by /not by · or blank, such as T/K，Ea/eV，Z/Ω, mL/min, mL/(h?gcat). When English full name of physical quantity is used, unit should be placed in the parenthesis and there is one blank space between them, such as Potential (V)，Capacity (mAh/g)，Current efficiency (%).

Digit and unit is separated by one blank space. Percentage of weight and volume should be wt% and vol%, not wt.% and vol.%.

Width of figures or images is 8 cm (single column) or 16 cm (double column).

For digital figures, they should be edited in the text. For SEM, TEM, HR-REM images or other photos, their resolution is more than 300dpi

When a figure title contains a few different figures, each figure should be numbered using (a), (b), (c), (d) …… which are inserted in the upper left corner of each figure with closed frame. When a figure contains different lines, these lined should be numbered using (1), (2), (3), (4) …… even though the lines are also differentiated by different colors. 

Table must be three-lined format.

 Photographs should be of sufficiently high quality with respect to detail and contrast. Indicate the magnification by a bar on the photograph.

References should be numbered consecutively in the order in which they are first mentioned in the text. Abbreviations of journal titles should follow the style used in Chemical Abstracts. Reference accuracy is critical and authors are responsible for the accuracy of the references. Only articles that have been published or are in press should be included in the references. Journal articles and books must be cited by the following formats:

 All manuscripts should include a graphic abstract. Authors are required to provide a single separate A4 sheet containing a small diagram, or other informative illustration (scheme, formula, figure, etc.) that shows the most important aspect of the paper. The diagram or illustration should be a maximum size of 40 mm high×80 mm wide with color. Style and format of the graphical abstract may be found in the example.
