Submission

We are accepting submission of research communications, regular articles, reviews, perspectives, highlights, technical notes, book reviews, and essays for upcoming issues in 2016 without charging any article processing fees upto December 31, 2016. We are working on our online submission system; however, authors can submit their manuscript as an email attachment to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Peer Review

All submitted manuscripts will be initially evaluated by the Editor-in-Chief or the assigned editor. If the manuscript appears scientifically sound and acceptable then it will be sent to three external reviewers. The corresponding a uthor may suggest two or three potential reviewers and their contact information such as institutional email, phone number including their personal website or Google scholar profile (if any). Reviewers should be experts and very knowledgeable related to the submitted manuscript. Those reviewers should not be from the same institution, relative, friend, or collaborator. The assigned editor may choose none or one reviewer from the suggested names depends on the expertise of the reviewers.

Plagiarism

Authors should be very careful about Plagiarism . Before processing any article, we will check every manuscript whether it contains any plagiarized element or not. All submitted manuscripts should be original in the context of writing and scientific merit. Authors are not allowed to use parts from any other articles and nor from his or her own articles.

Submission Declaration

Before submitting your article to Can. Chem. Trans., authors should declare that the submitted manuscript has not been published in other journals in any format (except in the form of abstract in conference presentation and in academic thesis), not accepted for publication, and not currently under review for publication in any journal.

Authorship and Consent from All Authors

Only those who have significant contributions including developed research concept, performed relatvent experiments, and written the manuscirpt can be included as authors. All submitted manuscripts must have contact information of all authors including email addresses of all authors. The corresponding author must take consent from all authors before submission. After receiving the submission, we will notify all authors regarding it.

Copyright Materials

If a manuscript contains figures and tables from other publishers then the corresponding author must collect the copyright permission from the publishers to reproduce the figures and tables. Without copyright permission the author should not reuse any figure or table in his or her manuscript.

Because of prolonged and strenuous exercise the body consumes glutamine from both the blood plasma and the skeletal muscles [ 1-6 ].

Recently, Luther et al. [ 40 ] reported the performance of ZnO incorporated with 1.3 eV PbS QDs with an overall power conversion efficiency of 2.94%.

In a very recent study , Santra and Kamat [ 52 ] claimed to achieve an efficiency of 5.42% for a CdS/CdSe based solar cell fabricated by successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) approach presented in Figure 8 .
