Guide For Authors
Journal of the Bangladesh Chemical Society (JBCS) is a peer reviewed Journal that provides rapid publication of articles in all areas of chemistry and its applications and publishes biannually. The journal welcomes publications of high quality papers on theoretical developments and practical applications in chemical science and its related field. Original research papers and high quality communications are invited for publications. Journal of Bangladesh Chemical Society (JBCS) is published in English twice a year (June and December). Original research work of any branch of chemistry directly related to chemical sciences will be considered for publication in the Journal. JBCS is regularly abstracted by the Chemical Abstracts.
Papers considered for publication are full definitive articles and short notes. Full articles should not normally exceed 10 printed pages and the short communications 4 printed pages. The short notes should contain some experimental details.
All papers should be submitted by using double column as shown in the template (http://www.chemicalsocietybd.org/jbcs). Tables and Figures should be numbered consecutively (Times New Roman, 9 points bold) using Arabic numerals and should have brief informative and concise captions (plain text) and inserted preferably in a single column. The same results should not be duplicated in both tables and figures.
While submitting a manuscript, the authors must declare that it has not been sent to another journal for publication. Authors are responsible for the factual truth of the results described in the paper. Once printed, the Publisher will reserve the rights to the paper. However, for academic purposes only, reference to the work published in the journal could be made without prior permission of the Publisher. Manuscript submitted to JBCS for publication become the property of JBCS and will not be returned whether the paper is published or not.
