Journal of New Developments in Chemistry supports publication of original research papers, reviews, letters, editorials, case reports, case images, clinical trials, rapid communication, commentaries, thesis, literature reviews, opinions, mini reviews, book reviews, perspectives, conference proceedings, and short communications.

Submit your manuscript through Manuscript Zone. The system will guide you through file uploads and required declarations.

Provide a cover letter (max 500 words) in the designated Cover Letter field during submission. Do not upload a separate cover letter file.

For technical assistance with submission, contact [email protected].

• All listed authors must meet authorship criteria and approve the final submission.
• Manuscripts must be original and not under review elsewhere.
• Requests to add, remove, or reorder authors require written agreement from all authors.
• Authors are responsible for the accuracy of data, analysis, and citations.

An ORCID iD is required for the corresponding author and is encouraged for all co-authors. Use your ORCID in the submission system.

Ensure experimental procedures are detailed enough for replication. For synthesis studies, include stepwise procedures, purification steps, and characterization methods. For analytical or physical chemistry studies, describe measurement conditions, calibration standards, and data processing steps.

• Contact information: Provide full author names, affiliations, and a clearly identified corresponding author.
• Experimental procedure / Methods: Describe materials, instrumentation, and procedures so work is reproducible.
• Results: Present findings clearly with appropriate statistics and uncertainty where relevant.
• Discussion and Conclusion: Interpret results in context and clarify scientific or practical implications.
• Acknowledgments: Identify funding sources and non-author contributions.
• Conflict of interest: Disclose financial or non-financial relationships.

• Provide full reagent details, purity, and suppliers when relevant.
• Report yields, conditions, and characterization data for synthesized compounds.
• Include spectral and analytical data (NMR, MS, IR, elemental analysis) as appropriate.
• Describe instrumentation settings and calibration procedures.
• Use SI units and standard chemical nomenclature.

For computational chemistry, specify software versions, basis sets, functionals, and convergence criteria. Provide Cartesian coordinates or input files when possible to enable reproduction.

Write in clear, professional English suitable for an international chemistry audience. Avoid ambiguous terms for compounds, conditions, or analytical results. Use IUPAC names where appropriate and include common names when they improve clarity. Provide explicit concentration units and temperature or pressure conditions.

• Figures should be high resolution and labeled clearly.
• Tables must be editable and include descriptive titles.
• Do not duplicate data across text, tables, and figures.
• Supplementary files may include spectra, data tables, or code.

References are cited by number in the order of appearance. List the first five authors, then add "et al" if additional authors are present. Authors are responsible for accuracy.

• Research involving human participants or animals must include ethics approval and consent details.
• Follow laboratory safety standards and report hazards for chemicals or procedures.
• Plagiarism, fabrication, and falsification are handled according to COPE guidance.

Authors should describe safe handling and disposal practices for hazardous reagents and wastes. If the work involves regulated substances or controlled materials, include compliance statements where applicable.

All submissions are screened for originality using iThenticate or equivalent tools.

Include a single section titled "Statements and Declarations" with the following, where applicable:

• Funding
• Conflicts of Interest
• Ethical approval and consent to participate
• Data availability statement
• Author contributions

All submissions must include a Data Availability Statement. Refer to the Data Archiving and Permissions page for repository guidance and required wording.

If data are restricted, explain the limitation and how access may be requested.

Where relevant, authors must follow reporting checklists from the EQUATOR Network and include the completed checklist with the submission.

Preprints are allowed. Disclose any preprint versions at submission and update the preprint record with the published DOI after publication.

• AI tools cannot be listed as authors.
• AI may be used for language assistance, but substantive use must be disclosed in a dedicated statement.
• Authors remain fully responsible for all content, including AI assisted text and images.

There are no submission fees. Article Processing Charges apply only after acceptance. See the APC page for details.

Accepted manuscripts proceed to copyediting and production. Authors review proofs for accuracy before publication. Final articles receive a DOI and are made available open access.
