This journal uses ScholarOne Manuscripts (previously Manuscript Central) to peer review manuscript submissions. Please read the guide for ScholarOne authors before making a submission. Complete guidelines for preparing and submitting your manuscript to this journal are provided below.

Aims and Scope.   Focusing exclusively on the chemistry of wood, wood components, and wood products, the Journal of Wood Chemistry and Technology covers the latest advances in areas such as lignin, cellulose, hemicellulose, and extractives chemistry; wood and bark chemicals; wood-based biomaterials synthesis and characterization; and biomass conversion or utilization.

Manuscript Submission.   The Journal of Wood Chemistry and Technology receives all manuscript submissions electronically via their Scholar One Manuscripts website located at: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/LWCT. Scholar One Manuscripts for rapid submission of original and revised manuscripts, as well as facilitating the review process and internal communication between authors, editors and reviewers via a web-based platform. For Scholar One Manuscripts technical support, you may contact them by e-mail or phone support via http://scholarone.com/services/support. If you have any other requests please contact the journal Editor-in-Chief John Kadla (Email: jonn.kadla@ubc.ca). Each manuscript must be accompanied by a statement that it has not been published elsewhere and that it has not been submitted simultaneously for publication elsewhere. Authors are responsible for obtaining permission to reproduce copyrighted material from other sources and are required to sign an agreement for the transfer of copyright to the publisher. As an author, you are required to secure permission if you want to reproduce any figure, table, or extract from the text of another source. This applies to direct reproduction as well as “derivative reproduction” (where you have created a new figure or table which derives substantially from a copyrighted source). All accepted manuscripts, artwork, and photographs become the property of the publisher.

Manuscripts usually consist of the following sections: Title, Author's Block, Abstract, Experimental, Results and Discussion, Conclusions, Acknowledgements and References. All parts of the manuscript should be typewritten, double-spaced, with margins of at least one inch on all sides. Number manuscript pages consecutively throughout the paper. Authors should also supply a shortened version of the title suitable for the running head, not exceeding 50 character spaces and several keywords. Each article should be summarized in an abstract of not more than 150 words. Avoid abbreviations, diagrams, and reference to the text in the abstract.

References.   Cite in the text consecutively with superscripts in brackets. Prepare reference list in accordance with the examples below:

relating to kraft pulp yields. Appita. J. 1996, 49(6), 427–432.

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:

 

Tables and Figures.   Tables and figures (illustrations) should not be embedded in the text, but should be uploaded as separate files. A short descriptive title should appear above each table with a clear legend and any footnotes suitably identified 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. Only high-quality images, with a minimum of 300 dpi, will be accepted.

 

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.

 

Complimentary Policy and Reprints.  Authors for whom we receive a valid email address will be provided an opportunity to purchase reprints of individual articles, or copies of the complete print issue.  These authors will also be given complimentary access to their final article on Taylor & Francis Online.
