Spectroscopy is seeking contributed manuscripts for its June 2016 supplement on Raman spectroscopy.
Manuscript Scope and Format
Articles may address fundamental issues in Raman spectroscopy, recent advances in Raman methods, or applications of Raman methods.
Manuscripts should be approximately 2000–2500 words long, including an abstract of approximately 150–200 words, plus up to six figures and tables combined. Applications articles should follow a standard experimental article format. Figures and tables, along with their captions, should appear at the end of the manuscript, and figures also must be sent as separate files, preferably in JPG, TIF, PNG, PPT, or XLS format. References should be called out using numbers in parentheses and listed at the end of the manuscript in numerical order.
Submissions from equipment manufacturers will be considered but must be devoid of promotional content; discussions of new technology should not focus on a specific manufacturer’s instrument.
Deadlines:
Due date for abstract submission: February 26, 2016
Due date for completed articles: April 22, 2016
Where to submit:
Send all proposals and completed articles to Editor Laura Bush, at lbush@advanstar.com (tel. +1.732.346.3020).
