When we have received your manuscript and the accompanying materials, you will
receive an acknowledgment letter and a Copyright Assignment
form. Once your signed Copyright Assignment form has been received, your manuscript
will be sent to reviewers. Except in unusual circumstances, we will not communicate
with you again until all of the reviewers' comments are in (usually this will
take about 2 months). Most manuscripts need at least some revision before they
are accepted.
After the manuscript has been accepted, we will need
a final version of the manuscript and all supplemental material
in the proper electronic format. Please carefully follow
the Instructions for Final
Manuscript Preparation that will be
sent to you and are also available on our Web site. Before
publication the corresponding author will receive proofs and
an order blank for reprints (available for a small charge).
Mark all corrections on the proof. Papers are scheduled for
publication after we receive corrected proofs.
If you have questions about submission
procedures, please consult the JCEstaff by email
(jce@chem.wisc.edu),
telephone (608/262-7146), fax (608/262-7145), or U.S. mail to the
Editorial Office.
