1. INTRODUCTION
The Introduction section should include the background and aims of the
research in a comprehensive manner.
1.1. Section Headings
Section headings should be numbered sequentially, left aligned and
have the first letter capitalized, starting with the introduction.
Sub-section headings however, should be in lower-case and italicized
with their initials capitalized. They should be numbered as 1.1, 1.2,
etc.
1.2. Text Organization
Please provide soft copies of all the materials (main text in MS Word
or Tex/LaTeX), figures/illustrations in TIFF, PDF or JPEG, and
chemical structures drawn in ChemDraw (CDX)/ISISDraw (TGF) as separate
files, while a PDF version of the entire manuscript must also be
included, embedded with all the figures/illustrations/tables/chemical
structures etc. It is advisable that the document files related to a
manuscript submission should always have the name of
*Address correspondence to this author at the Department of xxxy,
Faculty of xxx, xxx University, P.O. Box: 0000-000, City, Country;
Tel/Fax: ++0-000-000-0000, +0-000-000-0000; E-mails:
[email protected]
the corresponding author as part of the file name, i.e., “Cilli MS
text.doc”, “Cilli MS Figure 1” etc.
It is imperative that before submission, authors should carefully
proofread the files for special characters, mathematical symbols,
Greek letters, equations, tables,
references and images, to ensure that they appear in proper format.
The main text should begin on a separate page and should be divided
into title page, abstract and the main text. The text may be
subdivided further according to the areas to be discussed, which
should be followed by the Acknowledgements and Reference sections. For
Research papers, the manuscript should begin with the title page and
abstract followed by the main text, which must be structured into
separate sections as Introduction, Materials and Methods, Conclusion,
Conflict of Interest, Acknowledgements and References. The Review
Article should mention any previous important recent and old reviews
in the field and contain a comprehensive discussion starting with the
general background of the field. It should then go on to discuss the
salient features of recent developments. The authors should avoid
presenting material which has already been published in a previous
review. The authors are advised to present and discuss their
observations in brief.
References, figures, tables, chemical structures etc. should be
referred to in the text at the appropriate place where they have been
first discussed. Figure legends/captions should also be provided.
1.3. Figures/Illustrations
All authors must strictly follow the guidelines below for preparing
illustrations for publication in Current Topics in Medicinal
Chemistry. If the figures are found to be sub-standard, then the
manuscripts will be rejected.
The authors are expected to submit good quality figure(s) in PDF, PPT,
MS Word, TIFF or JPEG versions, which, if required, should be improved
yourself or by professional graphic designers of your organization/
country. You may even consider approaching our contracted service
providers Eureka Science for Graphics Enhancement Services.
The Graphics Designing team at Eureka Science can assist in improving
the quality of your images at affordable rates. Eureka Science has
contracted special rates with us of US $125 for the improvement of up
to five figures, with any additional figures being charged at US $20
each.

can be viewed at http://www.eureka-science.com/images/Binder1.pdf,
along with valuable feedback on their services at
http://www.eureka-science.com/testimonials.php. You may contact Eureka
Science at [email protected]
Note: Availing Graphics Enhancement Services do not guarantee
acceptance of the manuscript for publication. The final
acceptance/decision on the manuscript is taken by the EiC.
1.3.1 Guideline for Figures/Illustrations
Illustrations must be provided according to the following guideline:
Illustrations should be embedded in the text file, and must be
numbered consecutively in the order of their appearance. Each figure
should include only a single illustration which should be cropped to
minimize the amount of space occupied by the illustration.
If a figure is in separate parts, all parts of the figure must be
provided in a single composite illustration file.
Photographs should be provided with a scale bar if appropriate, as
well as high-resolution component files.
1.3.2. Scaling/Resolution
Line Art image type is normally an image based on lines and text. It
does not contain tonal or shaded areas. The preferred file format
should be TIFF or EPS, with the color mode being Monochrome 1-bit or
RGB, in a resolution of 900-1200 dpi.
Halftone image type is a continuous tone photograph containing no
text. It should have the preferred file format TIFF, with color mode
being RGB or Grayscale, in a resolution of 300 dpi.
Combination image type is an image containing halftone , text or line
art elements. It should have the preferred file format TIFF, with
color mode being RGB or Grayscale, in a resolution of 500-900 dpi.
1.3.3. Formats
Illustrations may be submitted in the following file formats
*
Illustrator
*
EPS (preferred format for diagrams)
*
PDF (also especially suitable for diagrams)
*
PNG (preferred format for photos or images)
*
Microsoft Word (version 5 and above; figures must be a single
page)
*
PowerPoint (figures must be a single page)
*
TIFF
*
JPEG (conversion should be done using the original file)
*
BMP
*
CDX (ChemDraw)
*
TGF (ISISDraw)
Bentham Science Publishers does not process figures submitted in GIF
format.
For TIFF or EPS figures with considerably large file size restricting
the file size in online submissions is advisable. Authors may
therefore convert to JPEG format before submission as this results in
significantly reduced file size and upload time, while retaining
acceptable quality. JPEG is a ‘lossy’ format. However, in order to
maintain acceptable image quality, it is recommended that JPEG files
are saved at High or Maximum quality.
Zipit or Stuffit tools should not be used to compress files prior to
submission as the resulting compression through these tools is always
negligible.
Please refrain from supplying
1.
Graphics embedded in word processor (spreadsheet, presentation)
document.
2.
Optimized files optimized for screen use (like GIF, BMP, PICT,
WPG) because of the low resolution.
3.
Files with too low a resolution.
4.
Graphics that are disproportionately large for the content.
Technical requirements for graphic/ figure submissions.
1.3.4 Requirement
Width = 8.5 inches (In-between the required size)
Height = 11 inches (In-between the required size)
Pixels/Inches = 300 (minimum dpi)
All figures should be in vector scale (except half tone, photograph.)
1.3.5. Image Conversion Tools
There are many software packages, many of them freeware or shareware,
capable of converting to and from different graphics formats,
including PNG.
General tools for image conversion include Graphic Converter on the
Macintosh, Paint Shop Pro, for Windows, and ImageMagick, available on
Macintosh, Windows and UNIX platforms.
Bitmap images (e.g. screenshots) should not be converted to EPS as
they result in a much larger file size than the equivalent JPEG, TIFF,
PNG or BMP, and poor quality. EPS should only be used for images
produced by vector-drawing applications such as Adobe Illustrator or
CorelDraw. Most vector-drawing applications can be saved in, or
exported as, EPS format. If the images were originally prepared in an
Office application, such as Word or PowerPoint, original Office files
should be directly uploaded to the site, instead of being converted to
JPEG or another format of low quality.
1.3.6. Color Figures/Illustrations
*
The cost for each individual page of color
figures/plates/illustrations is US$ 1045.
*
Color figures should be supplied in CMYK and not in RGB colors.
Colour figures should be supplied in CMYK not RGB colors.
1.3.7. Chemical Structures
Chemical structures must be prepared in ChemDraw (CDX file) and
provided as separate file.
1.4. Symbols and Units
Greek symbols and special characters often undergo formatting changes
and get corrupted or lost during preparation of a manuscript for
publication. To ensure that all special characters used are embedded
in the text, these special characters should be inserted as a symbol
but should not be a result of any format styling (Symbol font face)
otherwise they will be lost during the conversion to PDF/XML.
Authors are encouraged to consult reporting guidelines. These
guidelines provide a set of recommendations comprising a list of items
relevant to their specific research design.
Only ISO symbols, written in italic, should be used for the various
parameters. All kinds of measurements should be reported only in
International System of Units (SI). SI units should always be written
in Roman and separated from the numerical value by a space (whatever
the language).
The µ in µg or µm should be in Roman. The symbol for litre is L and
that for minute is min. For temperature, please use only one of °C, °F
or K in the entire manuscript. As the Angström (1Å = 10-10m) is not an
SI unit, it should be replaced by the nanometre (1nm = 10-9 m) or by
the picometer (1pm = 10-12 m): 1Å = 0.1nm = 100 pm. Multiple units
should be written with negative superscripts (for example, 25mgµL-1
µs-1). The list of notations should appear just before the first
paragraph of full text.
A list of symbols and units should be provided if used extensively
throughout the text.
1.5. Tables
*
Data Tables should be submitted in Microsoft Word table format.
*
Each table should include a title/caption being explanatory in
itself with respect to the details discussed in the table.
Detailed legends may then follow.
*
Table number in bold font i.e. Table 1, should follow a title. The
title should be in small case with the first letter in caps. A
full stop should be placed at the end of the title.
*
Tables should be embedded in the text exactly according to their
appropriate placement in the submitted manuscript.
*
Columns and rows of data should be made visibly distinct by
ensuring that the borders of each cell are displayed as black
lines.
*
Tables should be numbered in Arabic numerals sequentially in order
of their citation in the body of the text.
*
If a reference is cited in both the table and text, please insert
a lettered footnote in the table to refer to the numbered
reference in the text.
*
Tabular data provided as additional files can be submitted as an
MS Excel spreadsheet.
1.6. Construction of References
All references should be numbered sequentially [in square brackets] in
the text and listed in the same numerical order in the reference
section. The reference numbers must be finalized and the bibliography
must be fully formatted before submission.
Sample references are provided at the end of this template in the
reference section. Correct reference format and list must be provided
in the article.
2. MATERIALS AND METHOD (FOR RESEARCH ARticles only)
This section provides details of the methodology used along with
information on any previous efforts with corresponding references. Any
details for further modifications and research should be included.
EXPERIMENTAL (FOR RESEARCH ARticles only)
Repeated information should not be reported in the text of an article.
A calculation section must include experimental data, facts and
practical development from a theoretical perspective.
3. RESULTS (FOR RESEARCH ARticles only)
The Results and discussions may be presented individually or combined
in a single section with short and informative headings.
4. DISCUSSION
This should explore the significance of the results of the work,
present a reproducible procedure and emphasis the importance of the
article in the light of recent developments in the field. Extensive
citations and discussion of published literature should be avoided.
The Results and Discussion may be presented together under one heading
of “Results and Discussion”. Alternatively, they may be presented
under two separate sections (“Results” section and “Discussion”
Sections). Short sub- headings may be added in each section if
required.
CONCLUSION
A small paragraph summarizing the contents of the article, presenting
the final outcome of the research or proposing further study on the
subject, may be given at the end of the article under the Conclusion
section.
