Submissions

Author Guidelines

The Eurasian Chemico-Technological Journal publishes research articles and review papers in chemistry and chemical technology for the specified areas:

• Analytical, Physical, Inorganic, Colloidal, and Organic Chemistry;
• Materials Science;
• Chemical Engineering;
• Biochemistry;
• Nanotechnology

An article is accepted for publication only after receiving at least two positive reviews. To verify originality, all submitted articles are checked automatically upon submission by the iThenticate software. 

The article must present new results from experimental or theoretical research. The amount of material borrowed from any source should not exceed 10% for a research article and 20% for a review, while self-citation should remain within the 20–25% threshold.

Manuscripts will not be considered if a significant portion has been previously published in other sources, even if revised by translating into English or making minor modifications or additions.

By submitting an article to the journal, the author(s) guarantee that the material, whether in its original language or in translation, has not been previously published and is not under consideration in other journals.

For an article to be considered, authors must submit the following to the journal’s Editorial Office:

1) An electronic version of the article in English (not exceeding 10,000 words) should be submitted. The article should be formatted in a single-column layout; do not split the text into two columns. (Text editor: Microsoft Word; font: Times New Roman; spacing: 1.5; font size: 14 pt). Submitted papers must be well-formatted and written in clear, grammatically correct English.

2) A cover letter addressed to the Editor-in-Chief, preferably on the organization’s letterhead (if available), summarizing the content and significance of the article. The submitted manuscript must include the signed consent of all authors (co-authors) listed in the article.

3) A list of three suggested reviewers (including full name, affiliation, contact details, email, and ORCID). The recommended reviewers should be experts in the scientific field of the article. They must not have co-authored any publications with the authors in the past five years. At least two of the three reviewers must be affiliated with foreign institutions, while one may be from the same country as the authors, provided they do not work at the same organization (i.e., there must be no institutional affiliation).

4) Figures and diagrams must be submitted in their original format (JPG, TIF, or other graphic formats). The total number of figures should not exceed 12–15 (including subfigures labeled as a, b, etc.). Each figure should be submitted as a separate file (e.g., 1a, 1b, 1c, etc.)..

5) Permission to reproduce previously published figures from international publishers (if applicable).

ARTICLE STRUCTURE

This section outlines the structure of articles published in this journal.

Essential title page information

The article should be structured into the following sections: Abstract, Nomenclature (if applicable), Introduction, Experimental, Results and Discussion, Conclusions, Acknowledgements, References, Tables, and List of Figures. If necessary, the article may also include subsections and smaller structural units with multilevel numbering.

Abstract.  A clear and concise abstract should be a single paragraph of 200–250 words. It should briefly summarize the purpose of the research, key findings, and main conclusions. The abstract should incorporate essential concepts relevant to the submitted article, keeping in mind that most modern information systems perform contextual searches based only on titles and abstracts of scientific publications. Avoid using equations, symbols, abbreviations, or references to the literature. After the abstract, provide a maximum of 5–7 keywords that accurately reflect the subject of the article (avoid plural terms and multiple-word concepts, such as those containing 'and' or 'of').

Abbreviations. Abbreviations of chemical compounds or all acronyms should be written in full at their first mention with the abbreviation in parentheses.

Introduction. In the Introduction, it is recommended to clearly define the research object and provide a concise overview of the relevant literature. The reference list should include recent publications from the past five years, incorporating studies by foreign researchers. Whenever possible, avoid using multi-word keywords.

References and footnotes. Equations, figures, tables, and cited sources (indicated in square brackets [N]) should be numbered in the order in which they appear in the text.

Tables. Tables must be submitted as editable text, not as images. Number the tables sequentially according to their order of appearance in the text.

Chemical Formulas. It is recommended to use the ChemDraw software for creating chemical formulas.

Mathematical Equations. Submit mathematical equations as editable text, not as images. Display equations separately from the main text and number them sequentially according to their appearance in the manuscript.

Units of Measurement. All physical quantities must be expressed using the International System of Units (SI).

Figures and Diagrams. Figures and diagrams must be submitted in their original format (e.g., JPG, TIF). The total number of figures should be limited to 12–15. Figures must be of high quality, ensuring clarity in all details (300–600 dpi resolution). Images that do not meet the journal’s quality standards will not be accepted. Submit each figure as a separate file, using a logical naming convention (e.g., Figure_1, Figure_2, etc.).

Permission must be obtained to reproduce all figures previously published by international publishers.

Supplementary Material. We encourage authors to include supplementary materials, such as applications and images, to enhance their research. Please follow these guidelines:

Each reference must include the following information:

• Surnames and initials of all authors (up to six).
• Title of the paper, title of the publication, journal volume number, year of publication, page numbers, and DOI.
• Surnames and initials of the book (or edited collection) editors.
• Location and dates of the conference (for conference proceedings).

Editorial Preparation

An article sent to the authors for revision must be resubmitted in its corrected form within 1 month. If the revised manuscript is not returned within this period, it will be considered a new submission. The journal’s editorial board sends the article proof to the corresponding author for verification via email as a PDF file. Authors must return the verified version (proofreading) within 7 days.

Authorship. Authors should carefully determine the list and order of authors before submitting their manuscript and ensure that the final list is provided at the time of the initial submission. Once the manuscript has been submitted, no additions, deletions, or reordering of authors will be allowed. The Editor WILL NOT consider any requests for changes to authorship after submission.

Publication Fee. Manuscripts submitted to the Eurasian Chemico-Technological Journal are subject to a publication fee. The current publication fee is 120,000 tenge (KZT).
