Submissions should be made by email to the Editor ([email protected]). All submissions are subject to review by the editor. If accepted, content may be edited and/or abridged, to ensure it is in line with the values, requirements and style of the magazine. We will let you know within three weeks if your contribution has been accepted for publication.

If your article doesn't feature in print, we may publish it online. Please be aware, we may include online articles in our fortnightly newsletter.

Feature articles must have a technical (rather than marketing or promotional) focus. They may concentrate on a specific industry sector (for example, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, cosmetics and personal care) but should be understandable to experts in all fields. To this end, please start your main article with a brief explanation of the topic and define abbreviations that might not be widely known. Where appropriate, facts cited in your article should be referenced. Intelligent insights into the state and future of industry are encouraged.

Headings should be no longer than 12 words and a short stand first is required, summarising the content of the article and giving the name and affiliation of the author, in under 30 words. Figures and tables should be numbered and each should be provided with a caption. Text should be submitted in Word format. Bar charts, line graphs and other graphical representations of data should be provided as separate files in an editable format (for example, xls). Chemical formulae should be provided in PDF format and photographs must have a minimum 300 dpi to enable colour printing.
