Manuscript Preparation

Chemie Ingenieur Technik is a peer-reviewed journal that covers all aspects of chemical engineering, process engineering, biotechnology, and design of apparatus. The ethical guidelines for publication issued by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) are followed and applied by Chemie Ingenieur Technik. Additionally, Chemie Ingenieur Technik ensures compliance by using plagiarism detection software. Authors should declare any conflict of interest in their cover letter to the editor. Manuscripts which do not follow the “Instructions for Authors” will not be further processed.

We encourage authors to visit our webpage “Tips for Writing Better Science Papers” published by Wiley-VCH. Furthermore, we refer to the PDF files of recent open access articles of Chem. Ing. Tech. to get an impression of the final layout.

Article Preparation Support

Wiley Editing Services offers expert help with English Language Editing, as well as translation, manuscript formatting, figure illustration, figure formatting, and graphical abstract design – so you can submit your manuscript with confidence. Also, check out our resources for Preparing Your Article for general guidance about writing and preparing your manuscript.

1 Types of Contributions

Chem. Ing. Tech. publishes Reviews, Research Articles, and Communications. Please note that the indicated limits refer to the whole manuscript (including the text, tables, figure legends, and references).

Review Articles give a general overview of a particular field providing the reader with an appreciation of the importance of the work. Rather than an assemblage of information with a complete literature survey, a critical selection of the material is desired. Review Articles should not exceed 45000 characters (incl. blanks). Up to 15 main figures – comprising a total of max. 23 subfigures – may be included.

Research Articles report details of studies that have not been published previously, except in the form of a preliminary note. Research Articles have to be limited to 28000 characters (incl. blanks). Up to 10 figures – comprising a total of max. 15 subfigures – may be included.

Communications are short reports on experimental or theoretical studies in all areas covered by Chemie Ingenieur Technik. The results must be of general interest or at least contribute to the development of an important area of research. Communications should be limited to 18000 characters (incl. blanks). Up to 6 figures – comprising a total of max. 9 subfigures –may be included.

Please note that each figure scales down the total number of permissible characters.

Further information exceeding the limits can be added as Supporting Information (Sect. 5), where no restrictions apply.

2 Language

German and English papers are both acceptable. For English, please use American spelling. Authors who are less familiar with the English language should seek assistance from proficient colleagues in order to produce manuscripts that are grammatically and linguistically correct.

Please make sure to use regional language settings throughout the manuscript (text, tables, figures, and equations), i.e., use commas as decimal separators in German manuscripts, full stops in English texts.

3 Organization of Manuscript/Format

The sequence of the parts of the main document has to be:

  • Title of the article
  • Authors
  • Abstracts
  • Keywords
  • Addresses/Affiliations
  • Text of the contribution
  • Supporting Information
  • Acknowledgments
  • Appendix
  • Short CV and photo (for Review Articles)
  • Symbols used
  • References
  • Tables with Headings
  • Figure legends
  • Short text for the table of contents section

Manuscripts should be divided into sections and subsections by headings and subheadings. Footnotes to the text are to be avoided.

A template is available in German and English from our website, please use it to submit your paper as a regular MS Word file. Manuscripts written in a TeX format, even if they are submitted as a pdf file, have to be converted. Please do not try to arrange your text, figures, tables according to the final layout of a published article, e.g., two columns or scale-down of figures.

For German manuscripts, please provide title, abstract, and keywords in German and English.

3.1 Title

The title of the paper should be given with as many meaningful terms as possible, but limited to about twelve words or 100 characters. Avoid abbreviations and terms like “Contributions to the Development of…”, “Study of…”, “Novel”, and “New”.

3.2 Authors

Give the complete names of all authors with at least one forename spelled out for every author. Please also provide the academic title(s) of all authors. The author, to whom the correspondence shall be addressed, has to be indicated by an asterisk. If requested, Chem. Ing. Tech. marks authors who have contributed equally to the manuscript.

3.3 Abstract

Each article comprises an abstract which is limited to 600–800 characters incl. blanks. The abstract should be as informative as possible, but the presentation of experimental details should be avoided. Please do not present detailed/numbered values. The abstract should contain several keywords to aid finding the paper online. The abstract should contain neither hints to graphical elements or tables in the paper nor to references or equations, as the abstract will be found independently, e.g., in databases. Please do not copy sentences of the introductory part. The style guide mentioned in Sect. 3.6 has also to be followed in this section.

3.4 Keywords

Some meaningful keywords (max. 5) should be provided in alphabetical order. Avoid abbreviations. One keyword is limited to three words. Try to identify keywords a reader would be looking for.

3.5 Author Affiliations

Please provide the full postal address of each author, including the organization/department, street, postal code, city, and country. Indicate the different affiliations with a superscript number. Please provide the ORCID iDs, if available. Please give the e-mail address of the corresponding author(s) only!

3.6 Main Part

Manuscripts should be divided into sections and subsections by headings and subheadings. Footnotes to the text are to be avoided. Furthermore, please avoid the use of the first person and phrases like “we believe”, “we feel”, “we conduct”, and “we can see” as well as personal opinions. Authors are only allowed to use the first person when it helps to compare results, e.g., “Jones reported …, but our results”.

Please create subordinated clauses whenever appropriate instead of an excessive use of parentheses and dashes. Parentheses are allowed within the text when mentioning suppliers of chemicals and equipment and purity of chemicals, e.g., acetone (99+%, Sigma Aldrich).

Please denote the position of tables and figures after the first occurrence in the main text. In the text, sections, tables, figures, and equations are to be referred as abbreviated Sect. x (Abschn. x), Tab. x, Fig. x (Abb. x), and Eq. (x) [Gl. (x)], respectively.

3.6.1 Symbols, Units, Abbreviations

Please use italic symbols for variables and constants (e.g., p, V, n, R, T, Re), bold latin symbols for vectors and matrices, and roman type for mathematical expressions (e.g., log, ln, tan, exp). Please do not use the same variable for different definitions or various variables for the same definition.

Symbols used to represent variables, constants, quantities, properties, etc. must be defined in the text at their first occurrence. Please use exponents and not slashes within units, e.g., g L–1h–1. Only SI quantities and units are to be used (SI = Système International d‘Unités). If data with non-SI units have to be reported, they should be put in parentheses behind the corresponding data with SI units. In addition, a list of all symbols and abbreviations used must be compiled at the end of the text under the heading “Symbols used”, see Sect. 3.10.

Abbreviations are always written in regular type (not bolt, not italics). Sub- and superscripts to variables are also written in regular type, even if they themselves are variables, e.g., Vi, Vmax.

IUPAC nomenclature should be used when naming compounds (www.iupac.org).

3.6.2 Mathematical and Reaction Equations

Mathematical equations as well as reaction equations should be written in the manuscript at the places in which they belong. They should always stand alone, i.e., occupy an extra line, and have to be numerated in ascending order with Arabic numerals in parentheses. Important: Chem. Ing. Tech. does not distinguish between mathematical equations and reaction equations. Please note that reaction schemes and structural diagrams of molecules are treated as figures/schemes and do not need to be numbered.

Always use the equation editor or Mathtype 6.0 for equations. Do not import special symbols and characters as graphics/formula in the running text. Please use either the Symbol font or the “insert special symbol” option provided in most word processing programs.

Do not import equations as images, all equations need to remain editable.

If applicable, please use the template for structure drawings in ChemDraw. The template can be downloaded here. In case another software is used, please use reasonable fonts, bond lengths/widths, and angles.

Please ensure the correct use of symbols within chemical reactions, e.g., →, ⇄, ↔, etc.

Chem. Ing. Tech. does not use multiplication signs for regular multiplication operations (e.g., 5y). Where multiplication signs are mathematically mandatory, please use “·”.

3.7 Supporting Information

If Supporting Information are present, please include the following statement: “Supporting Information for this article can be found under [Link provided by Wiley]. This section includes additional references to primary literature relevant for this research [XX–XY].”

For further information on preparing SI, please see Sect. 5.

3.8 Acknowledgment

Acknowledgments of financial support, advice, or other kinds of assistance should be made at the end of the paper under the heading “Acknowledgment”. Please do not use abbreviations!

3.9 Short CV

Contributors of review articles are asked to submit a photo and short curriculum vitae (continuous text, no bullet points, at most 700 characters each).

3.10 Symbols used

All symbols and abbreviations used in the manuscript have to be listed in alphabetical order. Please divide this list in “Symbols”, “Greek symbols”, “Sub- and Superscripts”, and “Abbreviations”.

Please compile symbol, unit in squared brackets, and meaning, e.g.,

RP [g L–1h–1] volumetric productivity

η [–] coefficient

3.11 References

The responsibility for the accuracy of references rests with the authors. Please ensure that references are formatted correctly, also in view of italics, bold letters, blanks, commas, digital object identifiers (DOI), etc.

References have to be numbered sequentially in the order in which they are cited in the text. The numbers have to be enclosed in square brackets on the baseline, e.g., “...as was shown by Brown [1], Johnson [2, 3], and [4–7]”.

They have to be collected in numerical order at the end of the manuscript under the heading “References”. The footnote and endnote options provided by many text programs should not be used or have to be deactivated before submission. Additionally, in case professional reference software like EndNote or Refworks is used, please delete all field functions before submission.

Titles of journals are to be abbreviated according to the Chemical Abstracts Service Source Index (CASSI). References such as “unpublished work” or “personal communication” should be avoided – they do not add information for the reader. As soon as a cited article has the status “accepted”, the DOI number has to be listed. We encourage our authors to check DOIs by using CrossRef.

3.12 Table of Contents (TOC): Graphical Abstracts

A short continuous text for the table of contents (300–350 characters) should be included as the last page of the main document of every manuscript formulated to encourage readers to read the article. Please do not submit the outline of your paper. Repetition or a paraphrase of the title and presentation of experimental details should be avoided. Please also indicate a figure from your manuscript or provide a copyright-free image for this section. Authors are invited to submit one colored figure free of charge for the TOC only. The side ratio should be roughly 4:3 and detailed text should be avoided. This figure will be used for further advertising. If the image is submitted for the TOC only, please do not refer to this figure within the article.

4 Figures/Diagrams/Tables

4.1 Tables

Tables have to be numbered with Arabic numerals in the sequence in which they occur. The table caption above the table (beginning with “Table 1.”) must explain in detail the contents of the table. As the table itself, it must be written so that it can be read and understood without reference to the text.

Every table must be referred to in the text, e.g., “(Tab. 3)”.

Every column and every line of a table must be labeled unambiguously and indicate units wherever data are reported. Units do not have their own column, but are positioned directly behind the variable/parameter, separated by a blank (e.g., pressure p [bar]).

Footnotes in tables are denoted a), b), c), etc.

Tables must not be submitted as images, they need to remain editable. Use the table function provided by MS Word instead.

Please note that extensive and very detailed tables should not be included in the article but be published as Supporting Information (cf. Sect. 5)

4.2 Figures and Diagrams

As mentioned in Sect. 1, the number of figures is limited by the type of contribution. The number of subfigures is the total limit for the whole manuscript. One main figure may consist of max. four subfigures. Please note that one subfigure may draw on 1/8 of the final printed page. One main figure must not draw on more than 1/2 of the final printed page. Please use the Supporting Information (Sect. 5) to present figures and diagrams of long term experiments.

Analytical spectra (NMR, IR, GC, GC-MS, UV-vis, Fluorescence, ESR, etc.) have to be submitted as Supporting Information (Sect. 5) and only the relevant areas of the spectra should be inserted in the main text.

Please ensure the visibility and differentiation of details. The quality of the figures must be such that they can be reproduced directly after reduction. Numbers, letters, and symbols inscribed must be large enough to be still 2 mm high after the figure has been reduced to the printing format. Thus, make sure that the size of the writing is big enough. Ideally, please use font size 10 for an image with 85 mm width. Sans-serif fonts should be preferred, e.g., Arial or Helvetica.

Figures will be printed in grayscale but can be colored in the online version. Since the figure legends remain the same in both versions, please do not refer to any color in your figures within the text, figure legends, etc., but rather use distinguished and unique symbols. Colored figures which are to be printed in grayscale have to be converted and checked for visibility by the author before manuscript submission and peer review. If possible, please submit only one version of the figures. If it is absolutely necessary to have different versions in black and white and color, then please note that the two versions of the figures must be submitted in the same size. Please use color figures only if the color conveys additional information and if this information cannot be made clear by different shadings, symbols, etc. instead.

Reproduction of color artwork in print is associated with extra costs that are expected to be met, in part, by the author. The current price list can be downloaded here.

Please make use of different signs (e.g., ♦ and ∎) to ensure differentiation even in black and white printing. Alternatively, different lines can be used, e.g., ––– or –·–·.

Please use a symbol (in italics) to indicate the variable. Please use negative exponents in units, e.g., mol L−1.

Every figure must be referred to in the text, e.g., … (Fig. 1). All figures are to be numbered with Arabic numerals in the sequence in which they appear. Please consider the monochrome or colored style while referring to images/diagrams. Subfigures have to be numbered with “a)”, “b)”, etc., e.g., (Fig. 1b). Subfigures must not be referred as, e.g., “Fig. 2, bottom right”.

Figures should be included in the text after their first occurrence, but also be sent separately as TIF, JPG, or EPS files with highest resolution possible (at least 300 dpi), EMF files are not accepted. Please compile a list of all figure legends at the end of the manuscript.

Figure legends (beginning with “Figure 1.”) have to be self-explanatory and – as the figure itself – must be comprehensible without reference to the text. In case of subfigures, annotations like a), b), c), etc. have to be used instead of bottom, left, right, etc. In case a complete setup is shown, the list of components has to be listed in the figure legend, not in the figure itself.

Particular care should be taken to ensure that figures reporting data are unambiguously labeled with regards to units and, in their legends, provide adequate information about the condition under which the data were obtained.

The responsibility for providing permissions to reprint Figures and Tables and any associated costs rests entirely with the author.

5 Supporting Information

Experimental procedures, spectroscopic data, graphics, large tables, etc. that are essential for understanding the main points of the publication but could be considered supplementary or cannot be included in the actual publication for space reasons or because of technical limitations, e.g., animated multimedia applications and movies, should be provided online as Supporting Information. This material is available free of charge to authors and readers, and appears simultaneously with the publication of the article on Wiley Online Library. If SI are available, please insert a statement (see Sect. 3.7).

5.1 Organization/Format

The Supporting Information should start with the title, authors, and correspondence address followed by a Table of Contents. The relationships between the sections of the main article and the Supporting Information should be apparent.
