Guidelines for Authors

Contributors are advised to submit their manuscript as electronic files uploaded on the website trendscarbo.com. The preferred software for the text is MS Word for Windows version 7.0 or later. Illustrations may be provided in ChemDraw/ChemBioDraw/Corel Draw/ISIS Draw or another compatible software or as picture in MS Word Version 7 or later.

The manuscript must be accompanied by a cover letter that must contain the name, postal and e-mail addresses, and telephone number of the author for correspondence as well as the title of the manuscript, names of co-authors and a brief description of the significance of the work reported in the manuscript being submitted. Names and postal and e-mail addresses of three potential reviewers for the manuscript may also be included in the cover letter.

Preparation of the Manuscript

Manuscript should consist of the following sections: A Title[Times New Roman, bold, centred, size 16 each word capitalized] followed, in the next line space, by
Author Name, A. A. Author Name and A. Author Name1 Name2*
[Times New Roman, bold, centred, size 16 each word capitalized] followed, in the next line space, by
Author Name, A. A. Author Name and A. Author Name1 Name2*

Affiliations [Times New Roman, italic, size 12, centred] and followed, in the next line space, by the
telephone number and the e-mail address of the author for correspondence [Times New Roman, italic,size 10, centred].
The author for correspondence may be indicated by an asterisk in superscript (*) following the name. In case the contributing authors are from more than one affiliation, this may be indicated by means of superscripted alphabets (in lower case, starting with ^'a' and onwards as required) immediately preceding the name/affiliation as applicable. This will be followed by the following sections of the manuscript.

Graphical Abstract

This must consist of an illustration/diagrammatic representation of the work described in the manuscript. MS Word and ChemDraw/ChemBioDraw/Corel Draw or the like may be utilized for the purpose of preparation of the graphical abstract.

Abstract

A brief description of the salient features of the work including its importance/impact, results obtained and the important conclusions derived.
At the end of the abstract, provide a list of keywords (typically 3 - 6) intended to serve as search terms in an electronic search of a database. This may include chemical names and multiple-word terms as necessary. The first word of each keyword is capitalized.

KEYWORDS: Word 1; Word 2; Word 3; Word 4; Word 5

1. Introduction

Abbreviations should be defined the first time they are used in the text, and a list of all abbreviations used may be provided. Suggestions for reviewers are welcome. While entering the data following points with respect to text, references, and tables should be taken care of:
References must be numbered in numerical order as they are cited in the text with the corresponding numbers appearing in superscript at the desired place following the punctuation mark, if any or at the end of the particular sentence as indicated herein.1 They will be listed under the section, References in the same (numerical) order. The formats recommended for citing work published in journals/books have been provided herein towards the end of this document.
In case necessary, the section may be assembled under sub-sectional headings (example, 2.1, 2.2, etc.) and may be demarcated appropriately.

2. Materials and Methods

The materials used (along with their sources) and the methods adopted for accomplishing the work described in the manuscript must be described here in order to enable others repeat the work independently and be able to obtain reproducible results. The identification/characterization of new compounds reported must be unambiguous and complete with adequate supporting analytical data. Additionally, wherever necessary, the data must be supported by results of statistical analysis.
In case necessary, the section may be assembled under sub-sectional headings (example, 2.1, 2.2, etc.) and may be demarcated appropriately.

3. Results and Discussion

In case necessary, the section may also be assembled under sub-sectional headings (example, 3.1,3.2,etc.) and may be demarcated appropriately. Figures and Tables must also be numbered in numerical order as they are referred to in the text with the corresponding Figure or the Table appearing following the first mention of it in the text (with space adjustment as necessary for its suitable positioning) and may be separated from the text (for clarity) with a blank line space appearing before and after the particular Figure/Table being embedded. The caption to a Figure must be placed immediately following the Figure whereas the one for a Table must be placed immediately preceding the Table.

4. Conclusions

The important conclusions drawn from the work described in the manuscript must be listed here. The impact of this work along with any future projection/interests can be included here.

Acknowledgements

Acknowledgement of financial support by funding agencies, assistance of any other form from other sources, etc., may be expressed here.

Conflicts of interest

The authors may declare the situation regarding any conflict of interest related to/concerning the work described in the particular article or materials discussed therein.

Short Communications/Reports

Manuscripts for Short Communications must be prepared essentially as for the regular length articles described above, but flexibility is allowed in the organization of the content. Materials and Methods may be kept to a minimum but containing clear descriptions of typical procedures sufficient to allow others repeat the work when necessary. Short Communications are expected to be followed by full length articles essentially elaborating on the work communicated but certainly containing new findings and ensuring that it is not a mere repetition of the work already reported in the Communication. Reports may be structured as desired by the author(s).

Review Articles

Manuscripts for Review Articles must also be prepared as for the regular length articles described in the preceding sections, but flexibility is allowed in the organization of their content. Authors are advised to adapt/use the style followed in the latest issue of TCR.

Copyright

Upon acceptance of an article, authors will be asked to transfer copyright. This transfer will ensure the widest possible dissemination of information.

If excerpts from other copyrighted works are included in the manuscript, the author(s) must obtain written permission from the copyright owners and credit the source(s) in the article appropriately.
