Authors' Guidelines:
Your paper should not have been previously published or be currently under consideration for publication any place else. Submit your paper electronically through the Chemistry & Biology Interface online system. All papers are subject to peer review. After your paper has been accepted, you must sign a copyright transfer agreement with CBI. Papers accepted for publication will be available free online. Manuscripts must be written in English.
To expedite the review process, please format the manuscript this way:
(1) Prepare your manuscript as a single editable Word document and PDF. The one file should include the complete text, references, tables and figures. Any revised manuscripts should be sent as a single editable Word document. Tables and equations should be in an editable rather than image version. Tables must be edited with Word. Equations must be edited with Equation Editor.
(2) Make sure all the characters in the text, tables, figure legends, footnotes and references are in a single typeface and point size – such as 12 pt Times New Roman. Once a manuscript has been accepted, a copy editor will decide the typeface and size of the different elements of the article.
(3) Submit all figures or photographs as jpg or tif files with distinct characters and symbols at 500 dpi (dots per inch).
(4) Type your manuscript single spaced. This produces fewer pages, making it easier for reviewers to handle and helps slow down global warming by using less paper.
Please provide the names of three to five scientists knowledgeable in the area discussed in your manuscript along with their e-mail addresses and the institutions to which they are affiliated.
All references should be numbered in square brackets in the text and listed in the REFERENCES section in the order they appear in the text, as shown below:

MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION
It is essential that authors prepare their manuscripts according to the instructions/specifications listed below. The length and effectiveness of the peer review process will largely depend upon the care used by authors in preparing their manuscripts. Therefore, authors are strongly encouraged to read these instructions carefully before preparing/submitting a manuscript for publication.
Please read the following instructions carefully and for any questions, please contact editor CBI.
Page format: Manuscripts should be prepared as word processing documents on A4, or Letter size paper, leaving a liberal margin (2 cm) on all four sides. The manuscript should be typed double-spaced throughout including references and tables. All figures and tables should be in the text and one additional copy given on a separate page.
Fonts: Times New Roman and point size should be 12.
Tables: Tables should be numbered consecutively using Arabic numerals and should be in the text itself and should have an explanatory caption that should be as concise as possible.
Figures and images: The figures and images should be clear, easy to read and of good quality. All the figures/images must be in the text and be numbered with Arabic numerals.
To help in formatting images (including tables and figures) or multimedia files, please submit the paper with additional separate attachments, also apart from in the text.
The manuscript should be in the following order:
Title page
Graphical Abstract
Abstract
Keywords
Introduction
