The
Journal of Natural Gas Chemistry
is
a quarterly Journal jointly edited by
the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics
and
the Chengdu Institute of Organic Chemistry, Chinese
Academy of Sciences. Starting in 2006, Elsevier publishes the Journal on
ScienceDirect, the online full text and
bibliographic information resource, and takes care
of the Journal’s international institutional print
subscriptions.
Scope of the Journal
This Journal functions as a medium for
reporting original research papers dealing with
topics in the
fields of natural gas chemistry, C1
chemistry, lower hydrocarbons chemistry as well as
hydrogen energy
sources. It is devoted to up-to-date progress in the
following fields all over the world:
1. Direct and indirect conversions of methane
2. Methane conversion by enzymatic and biological
catalysis
3. CO/CO2
conversion and C1 chemistry
4. Synthesis or conversion of lower
hydrocarbons
5. Synthesis of O-, S-, and N-containing
derivatives of lower hydrocarbons
6. Purification and separation processes
concerning natural gas
7. Characterization of catalysts relating to the
above processes
8. Production of hydrogen energy
9. Methane hydrates and related scientific
problems
10.New approaches or processes of relevant fields
11. Synthesis, production and utilization of new
catalytic
materials
12. Environmental protection relating to the above
processes

Submission information
All manuscripts can be
submitted to the editorial
office by one of the following two methods:
(1) by online submission (
http://www.jngc.org)
(2) by e-mail to
jngc@dicp.ac.cn
Accompanied with the manuscripts, the following
materials: (a) a signed copyright status form (a
copy reproduced from the form printed in the issue
of the
Journal may be used), and (b) a covering
letter,outlines the basic findings of the paper and
their significance, should be submitted to the
editorial office.
However, if for any reason
authors are unable to use the above two methods,
they can also send the
manuscripts by regular mail to the editorial office
according to the following address:

Type of contributions
Four types of manuscripts are acceptable for
publication: Articles, ommunications, Reviews and
Research notes.
Articles
are meant for papers reporting the results of
completed definite studies. If several closely
related
manuscripts are being prepared at about thesame
time, all should be submitted together. Articles of
high scientific quality and originality that are
of interest to the wide and diverse readership of
the
Journal will
be given priority for publication.
Communications are
intended for the rapid and
timely publication of original research of
significance.
Communications are short contributions not exceeding
three printed pages in length.
Reviews deal with topics
of current interest in
areas relating to natural gas chemistry and C1
chemistry. Rather than an assemblage of detailed
information with a complete literature survey, a
critically selected treatment of the material is
desired. Unsolved problems and possible developments
should also be
discussed. Review articles are generally written
upon
invitation by the Chief Editor.
Research notes report
valuable results that are
timely parts of a phase research work.
Preparation of manuscripts
The manuscripts should be
printed on good quality
A4 paper in a 12 pt Times New Roman font
with
double spacing and wide margins.
All manuscripts should include:
a title, list of authors,
full addresses of authors, an abstract, keywords,
all sections
of the body of the manuscript, footnotes, and
references.
The title should clearly
and accurately indicate the contents of the article
or communication andshould be expressed in adequate
scientific terms. No
abbreviations should be used in the title.
The full addresses
of authors should be placed
below the title.
Footnotes
should be included on the first page
to give the phone number, fax number, and e-mail
address of the author of correspondence, and if applicable,
information regarding funding.
We request that authors should submit abstracts for
both articles and communications. Abstracts should
state briefly the reason for the work, the significant
results, and conclusions.
Keywords
should be given at the bottom of the abstract to
serve as guidelines for indexing.
The body of the manuscript should be subdivided
into the
following sequence of the sections: Introduction,
Experimental, Results and Discussion, Conclusions,
and References.
Tables and figures must be numbered consecutively
with Arabic numerals and should be self
explanatory. Tables must have a brief descriptive
title
and include footnotes if necessary. “Figure”should
be
spelled out instead of being written “Fig.” Figures
should have
figure captions, either with the figures
or collected on a separate sheet. The contents of
figures,
tables, and word descriptions should not be
duplicated.
Photographs
should be of sufficiently high quality with
respect to detail and contrast. Indicate the
magnification by a bar on the photograph.
References
should be numbered consecutively in
the order in which they are first mentioned in the
text.
Abbreviations of journal titles should follow the
style used in Chemical Abstracts. Reference
accuracy is critical and authors are responsible for
the accuracy of the references. Only articles that
have been published or are in press should be
included in the
references. Journal articles and books must be cited
by the following formats:

Catal,
1998, 177(2): 352

of
Biochemical Polymers. Vol 2. New York: Plenum
Press, 1985.

All manuscripts should include a graphic abstract.
Authors are required to provide a single separate A4
sheet containing a small diagram, or other
informative illustration (scheme, formula, figure,
etc.) that shows the most important aspect of the
paper.
The diagram or illustration should be a maximum size
of 35 mm
high?0 mm wide. Style and format of the
graphical abstract may be found in the example.

Graphic abstract example.
Reviewing of manuscripts
Every submitted paper is independently reviewed
by at least two peers. Decision for publication,
amendment, or rejection is based upon their
reports. If two or more reviewers consider a
manuscript unsuitable for publication in this
Journal, a statement
explaining the basis for the decision will be sent
to the authors within three months of the
submission date.
Manuscripts rejected will not be returned to the
authors.
Revision of manuscripts
Manuscripts sent back to the authors for
revision
should be returned to the editor without delay.
Revised manuscripts can be sent to editorial
office by
e-mail to
jngc@dicp.ac.cn. Revised manuscripts returned
later than three months will be considered asnew
submissions.
Others
The authors will receive a
complimentary issue containing the article and
20 free reprints. Additional copy of the Journal
and offprints can be ordered at cost.
The journal is a
member of the “Ei Compendex”, “Cambridge
Scientific Abstracts”, "Abstract Journals ",
"Wanfang Data", and other related indexing
databases as shown in the section of
"Abstracting and indexing". The articles
published on the journal will appear in the
indexing databases. The author will not be paid
because of the covering in the databases. If the
author does not wish for the article to appear
in this form, you should state so.
