Časopis Chemia Naissensis objavljuje istraživačke radove, kratka saopštenja, revijalne radove, kratke revijalne radove i preglede knjiga i web stranica iz svih oblasti hemije i srodnih disciplina. Rezultati predstavljeni u radovima bi trebalo da budu originalni radovi koji nisu ranije objavljeni ili poslati u isto vreme za objavljivanje bilo gde na engleskom ili bilo kom drugom jeziku.

Tipovi doprinosa

Prilikom slanja rukopisa se podrazumeva da:

• Nije prethodno objavljen (osim kao abstrakt za konferenciju ili deo objavljenog predavanja ili akademske teze),
• Da se ne razmatra njegovo publikovanje u bilo kom drugom časopisu, i
• Da se neće publikovati u istom obliku bez pisanog odobrenja izdavača.

Pripremanje rukopisa

U tehničkoj pripremi rada treba koristiti  „template“.

Sledeća tvrdnja bi trebala biti uključena u tekst pre delaReference:

Etičko odobrenje: “All procedures performed in studies involving human participants were in accordance with the ethical standards of the institutional and/or national research committee and with the 1964 Helsinki declaration and its later amendments or comparable ethical standards.”

Za studije sa korišćenjem životinja, sledeći iskaz bi trebalo da bude uključen u tekst pre sekcije Reference:

Etičko odobrenje: “All applicable international, national, and/or institutional guidelines for the care and use of animals were followed.”

Ako članci ne sadrže istraživanja sa ljudskim učesnicima ili životinjama, onda napišite sledeću izjavu:

“This article does not contain any studies with human participants or animals performed by any of the authors.

11. Reference

Molim Vas da budete sigurni da reference citirane u tekstu takođe budu prisutne u listi referenci i obrnuto.

Stil referenci:

Lista: Reference bi trebalo prvo biti poređane alfabetski a onda sortirane hronološki (ako je neophodno). Ako postoji više referenci od istog (istih) autora publikovanih iste godine, onda moraju biti označene slovima ‘a’, ‘b’, ‘c’, itd., i smeštene posle godine publikovanja. Primeri:
