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 caseswhere a citation has three ormore 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

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. Color proofs will be provided for art physically printing in color if author consent is received by the requested due date. 

Reprints. Each corresponding author of an article will receive 3 complimentary copies of the issue in which the article appears. Reprints of individual articles are available for order at the time authors review page proofs. A discount on reprints is available to authors who order before print publication.
