4. Text

• introduction: subject, scope of the subject, goals of your paper and finally the
  organization of your paper are to be mentioned
• main text: all important elements of your scientific message are to be mentioned
• conclusion: summary of the paper

Experimental Part - should be written in sufficient detail to enable others to repeat the authors’ work. Chemical compounds should be named according to the systematic rules of IUPAC or Chemical Abstracts. Common trivial names that are accepted by IUPAC can also be used. Units and dimensions should be expressed according to the metric system and SI units

Results and Discussion - may be combined or kept separate and may be further divided into subsections. This section should not contain technical details. Abbreviations and acronyms should be used sparingly and consistently. Where they first appear in the text, they should be defined; authors may also explain large numbers of abbreviations and acronyms after the conclusion part.

Computational Part - in theoretical papers, technical details such as the computational methods, and models applied or newly developed models should be presented in an appropriately named section. Sufficient detail should be provided to enable readers to reproduce the calculations.

Acknowledgements - Information concerning research grant support and the
assistance of colleagues or similar notes of appreciation should appear in an Acknowledgements
section.

Tables
Authors should use tables only to achieve concise presentation, or where the information cannot be given satisfactorily in other ways. Tables should be numbered and referred to in the text by number. Each table should have an explanatory caption which should be as concise as possible.

Figures
Authors may use line diagrams and photographs to illustrate these from their text. The figures should be clear, easy to read and of good quality. Styles and fonts should match those in the main body of the article. Lettering and lines should be of uniform density and the lines unbroken. Axis labels should be in bold face. Units
should be placed next to variables in parentheses. All figures must be mentioned in the text in consecutive order and be numbered.

Schemes
These are sequences of reactions. They should have brief titles describing their contents. Schemes should be numbered.

Images
Authors can attach files in formats like BMP, GIF, JPEG formats.
