Manuscripts can be full Research Papers or Rapid Communications, presenting original, unpublished work on new analytical method developments or innovative analytical applications to be in agreement with the journal’s aims and scope. The Editors would like to point out that according to the editorial policy each submitted paper is subject to customary peer-review procedures and will be prescreened by the Editors first. Criteria for acceptance of a contribution include receipt of two positive referee reports by renowned experts of the respective field.
You will find the journal's ‘Aims and Scope’ and ‘Instructions for Authors’ on the ABC homepage at www.springer.com/abc. Here are some further details on research paper types:
- For a full Research Paper, paper length must be appropriate to content. There is no strict page limit, but ABC advises a maximum length of up to 6 000 words including 20-30 references, plus 4-6 figures and 1-3 tables.
- Rapid Communications are urgent communications of important preliminary results that are very original, of high interest and likely to have a significant impact on the analytical community. A Rapid Communication needs only to demonstrate a ‘proof of principle’. Yet, fragmentation of a substantial body of work into a number of short publications is strongly discouraged and is a valid reason for rejection.
For a Rapid Communication we advise a length of 3000 words, plus 2 figures and/or tables, and 15 key references.
Please submit your paper online directly to the ABC editorial office at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/abc, preferably till September 1, 2017.
Accepted papers will be published online within about 20 days after acceptance, fully citable by DOI (Digital Object Identifier). They will be assigned to the next available ABC issues. Upon request of the authors, a footnote including the title of the conference can be added to the paper (Parts of this work were presented at the First European / 10th German
BioSensor Symposium, Potsdam, 2017.). ABC is pleased to announce that each author team will be provided with a free e-offprint (PDF including attractive cover sheet) of their published article and that color figures are free of charge.
