KURDISH JOURNAL OF CHEMISTRY
Guidelines for authors:
Types of Papers
Original papers are significant completed research studies structured into the following sections: abstract, introduction, theoretical (optional part), experimental, results and discussion (or two separate sections), conclusions, list of symbols, and references. No size limits are specified but the editors reserve the right to ask the authors for the reduction of manuscripts of exorbitant length. It is possible to submit additional figures, tables, computer programs, videos, photographs as Supplementary information that will not be part of the printed version but can be downloaded from the publisher's website. This option is available also for short communications and reviews.
Short communications should comprise original, concise studies of limited extent such as reports on new compounds, reactions, procedures, models, etc. The materials and methods must be complete. The size of this type of manuscripts is limited by 5 full manuscript pages or 10 000 characters including the space occupied by schemes, figures, and tables. The manuscripts should comprise an abstract, list of references, and a single section containing all other parts. They can be processed and published faster than full-length papers and reviews if the authors properly explain the importance of urgent publication upon submission of their manuscripts.
Reviews should be an authoritative, critical, and comprehensive evaluation of research conducted in previous years in the areas of topical interest. Review manuscripts may be submitted directly without a previous consent of the Editor-in-Chief if they do not exceed 30 full manuscript pages or 60 000 characters in total. Prospective authors of longer reviews should first send an outline of the proposed article to the Editor-in-Chief with a brief letter explaining why the subject might be of wide interest or significance.
Manuscript SubmissionSubmission of a manuscript implies: that the work described has not been published before; that it is not under consideration for publication anywhere else; that its publication has been approved by all co-authors, if any, as well as by the responsible authorities – tacitly or explicitly – at the institute where the work has been carried out. The publisher will not be held legally responsible should there be any claims for compensation.
PermissionsAuthors wishing to include figures, tables, or text passages that have already been published elsewhere are required to obtain permission from the copyright owner(s) for both the print and online format and to include evidence that such permission has been granted when submitting their papers. Any material received without such evidence will be assumed to originate from the authors.
Online SubmissionPlease follow the hyperlink “Submit your manuscript” and upload all of your manuscript files following the instructions given on the screen.
Source FilesPlease ensure you provide all relevant editable source files at every submission and revision. Failing to submit a complete set of editable source files will result in your article not being considered for review. For your manuscript text please always submit in common word processing formats such as .docx.

TextText FormattingManuscripts should be submitted in Word using the template provided in “Documents for download”. AbbreviationsAbbreviations should be defined at first mention and used consistently thereafter. FootnotesFootnotes on the title page are not given reference symbols. Footnotes to the text are numbered consecutively; those to tables should be indicated by superscript lower-case letters (or asterisks for significance values and other statistical data). AcknowledgmentsAcknowledgments of people, grants, funds, etc. should be placed in a separate section before the reference list. The names of funding organizations should be written in full. ContentsContents of the manuscript should be arranged under the headings Introduction, Results and Discussion, Experimental, Acknowledgements, and References, in this order. For theoretical investigations, the heading Experimental may be replaced by Methods or Materials and Methods. Subheadings, if not used excessively, are encouraged and will be printed in italics. CompoundsCompounds should be characterized by arabic numerals. Authors are definitely advised not to use selfconstructed alphanumerical abbreviations for the compounds under investigation. Nomenclature must be in accordance with the IUPAC rules; SI units should be used throughout. For novel compounds characterization by means of 1H and 13C NMR data as well as elemental analyses or HRMS data is obligatory; where appropriate, also a corrected melting point and a Rf value should be included. Elemental analyses have to be submitted on a separate sheet and should only be referred to cursorily in the text.Compounds already published in literature should be identified as identical to the one published already by means of a physical property and the respective reference. Physical data for known compounds should only be given in the case they are not already contained in literature. In order to provide an overview of all synthesized or isolated compounds, it is obligatory to complete a checklist for compound characterization. This checklist is available for download as an xls or pdf file and should be uploaded together with the manuscript files.Crystallographic SubjectsIn papers dealing with crystallographic subjects, the presented data material should be kept to the minimum. Additional details should be deposited at the:• inorganic compoundsFachinformationszentrum Karlsruhe (FIZ)Deposit information should be given at an appropriate place in the manuscript. Graphical abstractTo give the reader a representative idea of the topic discussed in the manuscript (a key structure, equation, reaction, concept, etc.) the author is required to submit a graphic entry for onlineabstract.The graphic together with the article’s title are meant to convey the paper’s essence and to capture the reader’s attention. The graphic should be no wider than 8 cm and no taller than 3 cm and the text is limited to the labeling of compounds, reaction arrows and diagrams.
Scientific style• Please always use internationally accepted signs and symbols for units (SI units).• Nomenclature: Insofar as possible, authors should use systematic names similar to those used by IUPAC.• Genus and species names should be in italics.• Generic names of drugs and pesticides are preferred; if trade names are used, the generic name should be given at first mention.• Please use the standard mathematical notation for formulae, symbols, etc.: Italic for single letters that denote mathematical constants, variables, and unknown quantities; Roman/upright for numerals, operators, and punctuation, and commonly defined functions or abbreviations, e.g., cos, det, e or exp, lim, log, max, min, sin, tan, d (for derivative); Bold for vectors, tensors, and matrices.• Figure and table captions have to be composed in the format:time/s; potential/V; concentration/µM etc.

Template for Chemical DrawingsInstructions for using the templateDownload the template and save it to your chemical drawing package (ISISDraw or ChemDraw) in the same directory in which all other configuration files are kept.Open your drawing programme and select the monatshefte - configuration which you have saved just before to your computer. Do not change any settings. Draw your schemes and structures and save them as separate files. For submission of the manuscript import these files into the doc-file generated using the Word - TemplateColor Art• Color art is free of charge for online publication.• If black and white will be shown in the print version, make sure that the main information will still be visible. Many colors are not distinguishable from one another when converted to black and white. A simple way to check this is to make a xerographic copy to see if the necessary distinctions between the different colors are still apparent.• If the figures will be printed in black and white, do not refer to color in the captions.• Color illustrations should be submitted as RGB (8 bits per channel).Figure Lettering• To add lettering, it is best to use Helvetica or Arial (sans serif fonts).• Keep lettering consistently sized throughout your final-sized artwork, usually about 2–3 mm (8–12 pt).• Variance of type size within an illustration should be minimal, e.g., do not use 8-pt type on an axis and 20-pt type for the axis label.• Avoid effects such as shading, outline letters, etc.• Do not include titles or captions within your illustrations.Figure Numbering• All figures are to be numbered using Arabic numerals.• Figures should always be cited in text in consecutive numerical order.• Figure parts should be denoted by lowercase letters (a, b, c, etc.).• If an appendix appears in your article and it contains one or more figures, continue the consecutive numbering of the main text. Do not number the appendix figures,"A1, A2, A3, etc." Figures in online appendices [Supplementary Information (SI)] should, however, be numbered separately.Figure Captions• Each figure should have a concise caption describing accurately what the figure depicts. Include the captions in the text file of the manuscript, not in the figure file.• Figure captions begin with the term Fig. in bold type, followed by the figure number, also in bold type.• No punctuation is to be included after the number, nor is any punctuation to be placed at the end of the caption.• Identify all elements found in the figure in the figure caption; and use boxes, circles, etc., as coordinate points in graphs.• Identify previously published material by giving the original source in the form of a reference citation at the end of the figure caption.Figure Placement and Size• Figures should be submitted within the body of the text. Only if the file size of the manuscript causes problems in uploading it, the large figures should be submitted separately from the text.• When preparing your figures, size figures to fit in the column width.• For large-sized journals the figures should be 84 mm (for double-column text areas), or 174 mm (for single-column text areas) wide and not higher than 234 mm.• For small-sized journals, the figures should be 119 mm wide and not higher than 195 mm.PermissionsIf you include figures that have already been published elsewhere, you must obtain permission from the copyright owner(s) for both the print and online format. Please be aware that some publishers do not grant electronic rights for free and that Springer will not be able to refund any costs that may have occurred to receive these permissions. In such cases, material from other sources should be used.AccessibilityIn order to give people of all abilities and disabilities access to the content of your figures, please make sure that• All figures have descriptive captions (blind users could then use a text-to-speech software or a text-to-Braille hardware)• Patterns are used instead of or in addition to colors for conveying information (colorblind users would then be able to distinguish the visual elements)• Any figure lettering has a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1
Supplementary Information (SI)Springer accepts electronic multimedia files (animations, movies, audio, etc.) and other supplementary files to be published online along with an article or a book chapter.

open access policy
After accepting the paper, the author must be choose where they want publish the manuscript as open access or not, that is due to the payment and type of the manuscript. The published articles will get DOI and an unique template of our journal.
Publication in Kurdish journal of chemistry is a golden open access model which it is authors must pay to open access papers published, the fee for accepted articles is 50000 ID or 40 $. Open access (OA) refers to the free, immediate, online availability of research outputs such as journal articles, combined with the rights to use these outputs fully in the digital environment. OA content is open to all, with no access fees. Open research goes beyond the boundaries of publications to consider all research outputs – from data to code and even open peer review. Making all outputs of research as open and accessible as possible means research can have a greater impact, and help to solve some of the world’s greatest challenges.
