Contributions to EIC
Education in Chemistry depends on contributions from readers. There are some do's and don'ts that can smooth the path of a manuscript.
- Print or type your contribution on white paper, on one side only. Use double spacing and leave wide margins. Send a covering letter explaining what you would like done with your contribution, eg if you would like it to appear as a letter or a Column item.
- We cannot consider manuscripts that have also been submitted to other magazines or journals for copyright reasons. If you seek particularly wide dissemination for a piece of work and want Education in Chemistry to cover it too, then contact the editor to discuss it.
- Use SI units and IUPAC/ASE recommended nomenclature.
- Like all journals and magazines, Education in Chemistry has a style for references (see Note 2), subheadings etc. Please familiarise yourself with the style.
- Illustrations will be redrawn by a technical artist and printed in colour, so drawings need not be of a camera-ready quality, but they should be clear and unambiguous. Photographs should be used wherever possible, and should be provided in the form of glossy colour prints.
Short topical articles - ca 1200 words - can often be published more quickly.
This section of the magazine is also open to contributions from readers.
Education in Chemistry should be a forum for discussion and letters to the editor are welcome on any topic of interest to the general readership.

A soapbox feature of usually not more than 1000 words.
Articles are considered by referees who may recommend changes. If articles are suitable they will, after revision, be accepted subject to emendation by editorial staff.
Information on proofs and copyright.
All authors are paid an honorarium on publication of their article.
