MANUSCRIPT REQUIREMENTS

1. The Bulletin of the Chemical Society of Ethiopia is a triannual publication of the Chemical Society of Ethiopia. The Bulletin invites contributions in any field of basic and applied chemistry.


2. Types of contributions. The Bulletin publishes:


2.1 Full papers reporting the results of original research. The materials should not have been published elsewhere, nor should they be sent elsewhere for publication simultaneously.
2.2 Short communications containing the results of a limited investigation. These should be properly documented by references to the literature and by description of experimental procedures.
2.3 Reviews presenting thorough documentations on subjects of active and current interest in chemical sciences. Reviews are usually by invitation. However authors may submit outlines and upon notification of interest by the Editorial Board turn in complete manuscripts.
2.4 Feature Articles in Chemical Education, Chemistry and Society, etc.


3. The Manuscript.


3.1 All manuscripts must be written in English.
3.2 Organization of Manuscript. It is preferred to have the manuscript organized under the following headings: (a) TITLE, Author(s), Address(es) and ABSTRACT. Abstracts should not exceed 200 words. KEY WORDS: giving main words contained in the Title and Abstract. (b) INTRODUCTION: stating the purpose of the investigation and relating the manuscript to similar research in the literature. This is to be followed by (c) EXPERIMENTAL and (d) RESULTS AND DISCUSSION or vice-versa. (e) ACKNOWLEDGEMENT(S) and (f) REFERENCES: reference numbers in the text should appear sequentially in square brackets [ ] and not as super- or sub-scripts. Each reference should be given a separate reference number. Please note the following examples: JOURNAL: Abrahams, A.; Gerber, T.I.A.; Mayer, P. Bull. Chem. Soc. Ethiop. 2007, 21, 83. BOOK: Miller, J.N.; Miller, J.C.; Statistics and Chemometrics for Analytical Chemistry, 5th ed., Pearson Prentice Hall: New York; 2005; p 202. NOTE: Do not use et al. Include all the authors.
3.3 Formulas, Figures and Tables should be drawn using appropriate soft ware and should be placed at the end of the manuscript. They may be drawn in 1.5 times the size finally required. The font size of lettering on Figures should ensure that reductions of ca 64 % would still result in easily readable sizes. Legends should be typed on separate page. The approximate position of Formulas, Figures and Tables should be indicated in the text. Formulas and Figures should be prepared so as to allow direct camera ready processing.
3.4 Submission of Manuscript. The soft copy of the original manuscript typed with double spacing should be sent as an e-mail attachment (whole manuscript(text, figures, and tables) as a single file attachment) to: cse@chem.aau.edu.et or bcse@chem.aau.edu.et The covering letter should be addressed to: The Editor-in-Chief, Bulletin of the Chemical Society of Ethiopia, P.O. Box 32934, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. There is no need to send the hard copy of the manuscript.
