Chinese Journal of Polymer Science

Instructions to Authors

Submission

Papers appearing in the Journal comprise Regular Articles, Notes, Rapid Communications, which should contain original information, theoretical or experimental, on any topics in the field of polymer science and polymer material science. Feature Articles are also welcome. Papers already published or scheduled to be published elsewhere will not be accepted.

Notes and Rapid Communications are limited to less than four pages of the Journal. Notes are concerned with subjects of limited scope, which require no further information in a future publication. Rapid Communications deal with significant findings worthy of urgent publication. Feature Articles are limited to review of the author's own results in a systematic research, which have been published recently, in part or in whole.

For papers submitted for publication as Rapid Communications, a brief introduction outlining the significance of the work and the rationale for urgent publication must be submitted together with the manuscript.

Manuscripts should be submitted via web-based online submission system

Manuscripts

Manuscripts should be written in English, double-spaced and single-sided on A4 sheets with margins of 3 cm all round, and should be numbered beginning with the title page. The first page of an article should contain only (1) the title of the paper, (2) the name(s) and address(es) of the author(s), (3) an abstract of 50-250 words, (4) 3-5 keywords and (5) an abbreviated title not exceeding 45 characters (including spaces) for the running head.

Heading and Subheadings for different sections of the paper should be clearly indicated.

Units of measurement, abbreviations and symbols should follow the International System of Units (SI). Equations and formulae should be typed clearly. Equations should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals in parentheses on the right-hand side of the page. Any special symbols should be identified in the margin.

Tables should be typed on separate sheets together with a suitable caption at the top of each table. All the tables should be numbered consecutively in Arabic numerals.

Figures should be submitted on separate sheets and numbered consecutively in Arabic numerals. All figure captions should be summarized on a separate sheet after the text. For best results, figures should be submitted at the actual size at which they should appear in the journal and fit a half column width（Max. 8.0 cm）. A full column width (Max. 17 cm) will be considered only when absolutely necessary to the clarity of the figure. For figures, the minimum font size should be 8 pt and the minimum line width should be 0.4 pt. TIFF, EPS or JPG files are the preferred format. Suggested packages for line graphics are Origin (preferred, please use line width 2 and symbol size 12), Adobe Illustrator (version 3.0 or above), Freehand and Corel Draw. Files of scanned line graphics can be accepted preferably at a resolution of 1000dpi (Min. 600dpi). Black and white photos, micrographs etc should not be saved as color.

References should be cited in the text with Arabic numerals within square brackets in order of appearance, and listed at the end of the paper in numerical order. The following style should be followed for the reference list:

Graphical Abstract

All manuscripts must be accompanied by a graphical abstract which will be published in the Journal’s Table of Contents. The graphical abstract consists of a brief summary and a graphic highlighting the key findings of the work. Such summaries are limited to 50 words in length and should not be confused with the abstract. The graphic could be a key figure or scheme of the manuscript or a graphic specially prepared for Table of Contents. The graphic could be in the form of a structure, reaction/mechanism scheme, graphical data, photograph etc., but tables or spectra are not recommended. Color graphic is encouraged. The Graphical Abstract should be incorporated on the last page of the manuscript. The authors are asked to supply the materials in the following format:
