Abstract. This document is an example of a contribution to be submitted to “Chemistry Journal of Moldova. General Industrial and Ecological Chemistry”. This is the abstract in font size: 9 pt with the heading in bold. Please use the Times New Roman font. The title is in size 14 pt Bold (all capital letters), the names of the authors are in size 12 pt Normal and the name of the organization and its address are in size 9 pt Italic. The rest of the text is in single-space, typed in a one column layout and font size 10 pt.

Keywords: Insert a maximum of 5 keywords separated by a comma (10 pt, Normal). These keywords will facilitate database searching. Avoid general, plural terms and multiple concepts (avoid, for example, “and”, “of”).

Introduction

Contributions should comprise an even number of pages. There are no limits to the contribution size. Authors are also kindly requested to adhere to the formatting instructions for font size and layout.

How to prepare your paper

Please ensure that the required formats for text and figure submission are followed strictly. MS Word template can be found on the web page of Chemistry Journal of Moldova (www.cjm.asm.md). Use of this template is mandatory.

A theoretical or physico-chemical paper normally contains the Title, Authors, Affiliations, Abstract, Keywords, a brief Introduction and formulation of the problem, an Experimental (or methodological part), Results and discussion, Conclusions, followed by Acknowledgments and References.

In MS Word, under the File menu, choose Page setup and set the Top, Bottom, Left & Right Margins as 2.15 cm, the Gutter as 0 cm, and the Header and Footer to 1.2 cm and choose Apply to: Whole Document. Then select the "Paper Size" tab and set the Paper Size: A4 and Orientation: Portrait.

Ensure that each new paragraph is clearly indicated, using TAB at 1.25 pts.

Title

The title is in size 14 pt Bold, all capital letters. Title should be concise and informative. Avoid the abbreviations where is possible.

Author list

Include all authors in a single list. The style for the names is: first name, last name (full names, without initials). The names of the authors must be written in size 12 pt and separated by a comma.

Text

Use the 10-point Times New Roman font. Use the automatic page numbering function to number the pages.

Abbreviations

If you are using abbreviations, please define them at the first mention in the text and use them consistently thereafter.

Figures and Tables

Figure and table titles must be typed in Bold and should appear below the figures and above the tables. If you are using previously published material please include the source in the form of reference citation at the end of the figure caption and/or table title.

Tables

Before editing tables please consider the following requirements:

Tables should be centered and they should occupy the full width of the page.

Table must fit in a size of a page A4, Portrait.

If your table transfers partially to the next page you should mention on the next page that this is a continuation of the table and you must indicate the headings.

All table columns should have a brief explanatory heading typed in bold and where appropriate, units of measurement.

Vertical lines should not be used.

Use the punctuation at the end of the table title.

All tables should be cited in the text, and numbered in order of appearance with Arabic numerals. Tables should be numbered sequentially—“Table 1”, “Table 2”, and should be cited in the text as “Table 1”, “Table 2”.

Table 1

This is an example of table format.

Chemical element	Standard atomic weight (g/mol)
Na	22.9897
Ca	40.078(4)
Ba	137.327

Figures

Only black and white artwork will be accepted. Individual figures should normally be centered. It is also more convenient for referees of your article if figures are placed as close as possible, and ideally after, the point where they are first mentioned in the text. Figures should be numbered sequentially—“Figure 1”, “Figure 2”, and should be cited in the text as “Figure 1”, “Figure 2”. We recommend you to place figures and their captions in a table with no margins. As in the examples below:

Figure 1. This is an example of figure format.

Figure 2. This is an example of figure format.	Figure 3. This is an example of figure format.

Each figure should have a concise caption describing accurately what figure depicts. Figure captions begin with the term Figure in bold type, followed by figure number and punctuation, also in bold type. Also, use the punctuation at the end of the caption.

Figures must be submitted in a very good resolution (but do not submit graphics that are disproportionately large for the content).

If you are using previously published material please include the source in the form of reference citation at the end of the figure caption. Use the punctuation at the end of the caption.

Equations and formulas

To typeset your formulas or equations use Equation Editor or MathType (version 1999-2003). Quote them on the right side, between brackets. Equation must be cited in text as “Eq.(1)”, “Eq.(2)”.

(2)

Please use size 10 pt and Italic for symbols, bold face for vectors and normal fonts for standard functions (i.e. log, In, exp) and subscripts (i.e. //appi).

SI units must be used throughout.

In order to avoid possible confusion between the numeral 1 (one) and the lower-case letter l (el), please use the capital letter L to express liter units.

Decimal numbers should be expressed using the point (do not use comma).

Large and complex chemical formulas should be presented in text as figures.

Please follow the IUPAC nomenclature for your chemical compound.

Acknowledgments (optional)

You can acknowledge certain collaborators, funds or programs who contributed in a way to the research described in the paper.

References

In the text, references should be indicated by Arabic numerals taken in square brackets, which run consecutively through the paper and appear before any punctuation; ensure that all references are cited in the text and vice versa. References should be numbered in the text in the order they are cited [1]. Multiple consecutive references may be abbreviated as [2-5].

Do not cite references in the abstract.

References should be written in English only. If it’s in a different language then the reference must be translated with an appropriate title in English. The original language must be indicated in round brackets.

Complete bibliographic information for all cited references is required.
