Each manuscript must be accompanied by a signed copyright form which can be obtained online at www.taylorandfrancis.com or by contacting the Editor-in-Chief. Completion of the copyright form is required for publication as it states that the submitted article has not been published elsewhere or simultaneously submitted for publication elsewhere. Authors are responsible for obtaining permission to reproduce copyrighted material from other sources. All accepted manuscripts, artwork, and photographs become the property of the publisher.

All parts of the manuscript should be typewritten, double-spaced, with margins of at least one inch on all sides. Number manuscript pages consecutively throughout the paper. Authors should also supply a shortened version of the title suitable for the running head, not exceeding 50 character spaces.

Abstract

Each article should be summarized in an abstract of not more that 100 words. Avoid abbreviations, diagrams, and reference to the text.

Keywords

Authors should supply at least 5 but not more than 10 keywords.The first keyword must be Ozone. Abbreviated forms of chemical compounds are not acceptable keywords.

Affiliation

On the title page, include full names of authors, academic and/or other professional affiliations, and the complete mail and e-mail addresses of the author to whom proofs and correspondence should be sent.

References

All references should be numbered consecutively at the end of every paper. Reference citations should follow the format of these examples:

For journal citations:

Russel, D.H., V.J. Medina, and S.H. Snyder, “Chemistry and Biology”, J. Biol Chem. 245(3): 6732-6738 (19070)

For book citations:

Yoffe, S.T. and A.M. Nesmayanov, Handbook of Magnesium-Organic Compounds(London, England: Pergamon Press, 1956), p.38.

For proceedings of conferences:

Provide Conference, date, proceedings volume and paper number where known.

In-Text citations should be cited by author last name and publication year. In cases where a citation has three or more authors, use first author name and et al. (ex. Johnson, Craft, Smith 1998 should be cited as Johnson et al., 1998). If an author name format results in two or more listings, use ‘a' and ‘b' to differentiate (ex. Johnson, 1983a; Johnson, 1983b).

Illustrations

Illustrations submitted (line drawings, halftones, photos, photomicrographs, etc.) should be clean originals or digital files. Digital files are recommended for highest quality reproduction and should follow these guidelines:

• 300 dpi or higher
• sized to fit on journal page
• EPS, TIFF, or PSD format only
• submitted as separate files, not embedded in text files

Color illustrations will be considered for publication; however, the author will be required to bear the full cost involved in their printing and publication. The charge for the first page with color is $900.00. The next three pages with color are $450.00 each. A custom quote will be provided for color art totaling more than 4 journal pages. Good-quality color prints or files should be provided in their final size. The publisher has the right to refuse publication of color prints deemed unacceptable.

Tables and Figures

Tables and figures should not be embedded in the text, but should be included as separate pages or files. A short descriptive title should appear above each table with a clear legend and any footnotes suitably identified below. All units must be included. Figures should be completely labeled, taking into account necessary size reduction. Captions should be typed, double-spaced, on a separate sheet. All original figures should be clearly marked in pencil on the reverse side with the number, author's name, and top edge indicated.

Proofs

Authors will be able to electronically review their proofs before publication. All proofs must be corrected and returned to the publisher. If the proofs are not returned within the allotted time, the editor will proofread the article and it will be printed per the editor's instructions. Only corrections of factual and typographical errors are permitted.

Offprints

Each author of the article will receive a complete copy of the issue in which the article appears, up to a total of three copies per article. The corresponding author is responsible for distribution of copies to co-authors. Offprints of an individual article as well as additional issues may be ordered from Taylor & Francis by using the offprint order form included with page proofs.
