Aims and Scope: The Journal of Carbohydrate Chemistry serves as an international forum for research advances involving the chemistry and biology of carbohydrates. The following aspects are considered to fall within the scope of this journal: novel synthetic methods involving carbohydrates, oligosaccharides and glycoconjugates; the use of chemical methods to address aspects of glycobiology; spectroscopic and crytstallographic structure studies of carbohydrates; computational and molecular modeling studies; physicochemical studies involving carbohydrates and the chemistry and biochemistry of carbohydrate polymers. 

Submission. The Journal of Carbohydrate Chemistry receives all manuscript submissions electronically via its Manuscript Central website located at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/lcar.  Manuscript Central allows for rapid and easy submission of original and revised manuscripts, as well as reviewing and internal communication between authors, editors and reviewers via a web-based platform.

Authors are urged to submit manuscripts as MS Word or Adobe PDF fi les. Authors are responsible for verifying all files have uploaded correctly. Authors are responsible for obtaining permission to reproduce copyrighted material from other sources and must sign an agreement for transfer of copyright to the publisher upon acceptance. All accepted manuscripts, artwork, and photographs become property of the publisher. Authors may log on or create an account by providing the corresponding author's complete address, telephone number, fax number, and email address. To expedite the review process, authors may recommend 3 to 5 reviewers. Please provide the name, address, telephone number, fax number, email address, and area of expertise for each. Note that recommended reviewers will be used at the discretion of the editor. Acknowledgment of receipt of the manuscript by the editorial offi ce will be sent to the corresponding author, including an assigned manuscript number that should be included in all subsequent correspondence. Revised manuscripts should be submitted via Scholar One Manuscript Central's Author Center to ensure that they are linked to the original submission.

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 fi t on journal page
• EPS, TIFF, or PSD format only
• Submitted as separate fi les, not embedded in text fi les

Online Only Reproduction: $225 for the fi rst page of color; $100 per page for the next three pages of color. A maximum charge of $525 applies.

Print + Online Reproduction: $900 for the fi rst page of color; $450 per page for the next three pages of color. A custom quote will be provided for articles with more than four pages of color. Art not supplied at a minimum of 300 dpi will not be considered for print.  

Tables and Figures

Tables and fi gures (illustrations) should not be embedded in the text, but should be included as separate sheets or fi les. A short descriptive title should appear above each table with a clear legend and any footnotes suitably identifi ed 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

Page proofs are sent to the designated author using Taylor & Francis' EProof system. They must be carefully checked and returned within 48 hours of receipt.
