The Azerbaijan Chemical Journal is a quarterly periodical publishing original articles and reviews in all areas of chemistry. The Editorial Board selects the most important and interesting papers for publication, containing new results and concepts. The journal prioritizes fundamental research results that stand out for their novelty and appeal to a broad audience. The editors accept review articles prepared in consultation with the journal's editorial board. Articles are accepted only in English by registering on the website or by email [email protected]

Submitted manuscripts are typically sent to two independent reviewers for review. When submitting an article, please indicate three experts in the relevant field (last name, first name, academic degree, email address, and a brief description of research interests). Please note that the Editorial Board is responsible for selecting the reviewers. The editorial team makes a decision to accept or reject the article based on the reviews received. After the changes have been agreed upon with the authors and incorporated into the manuscript (the revision period is no more than one month), the article is considered final and sent to the publisher by the editors. The publisher will email the authors' proofreadings as PDF files.

Falsification of data, plagiarism, self-plagiarism, inappropriate citations, and the submission of articles already published or submitted to other journals may serve as grounds for the authors' unconditional rejection of both the submitted and future articles.

The author(s) also submit a cover letter containing the following text to the editor: This article represents original research conducted by the author(s) personally, and the results are unpublished and not under consideration by another journal.

The text is to be typeset in 12 pt Times New Roman font, single spacing. Text should be prepared in A4 size (21 cm ´ 29.7 cm) area with margins of 3.0 cm on the top and the bottom and 2.0 cm on the left and the right sides.

The manuscript sections are arranged in the following order: the title of the article (in capital letters) appears in the center of the page, followed by the initials and last names of the authors, followed by the full name of the institute submitting the article and the email address of one of the authors for correspondence. This is followed by a brief abstract (100-150 words) in 10-point font, followed by keywords (5-7 words or phrases).

The main text should be logically structured. The following subheadings are recommended: Introduction, Experimental Section, Results and Discussion, Conclusion, Acknowledgments (grant reference), and References. The following restrictions should be adhered to: regular articles should be 6–10 pages, without cited literature (for reviews up to 20 pages), and the list of references should contain at least 25 items, preferably on modern publications in peer-reviewed journals.

The article must use physical units and notations adopted in the International System of Units (SI) and relative atomic masses of elements on the ¹²C scale. In decimal fractions, the whole number is separated from the fractional part by a period (2.68, 1.03, etc.).

All abbreviations must be expanded. Newly introduced abbreviations must be highlighted in bold.

Tables, figures, and photographs (usually in color) are placed within the text and are numbered continuously throughout the article.

Mathematical and chemical formulas are numbered with Arabic numerals in parentheses, while chemical compounds are numbered with Roman numerals. Only formulas referenced in the text are numbered.

Mathematical formulas should be typed using Microsoft Equation 3, and chemical formulas should be typed using ChemDraw, clearly distinguishing between lowercase and uppercase letters. Subscripts and exponents should be written strictly below or above the symbols to which they refer. Greek alphabet symbols are taken from the symbol table.

Figures should be submitted in .jpg format with a high resolution (at least 300 dpi), ensuring all details are clearly visible.

Tables are numbered in the order they are mentioned in the text using Arabic numerals. Each table must have a title.

The conclusion should not duplicate the abstract. This section should substantiate the significance of the obtained results for the development of the research field and the prospects for studying the problem raised.

Each reference number should be enclosed in square brackets. Unpublished articles cannot be cited. For papers with five or more authors, only the names of the first three should be cited.

For articles and books published in languages other than English, an authentic English translation of their title is required. The journal title (or publisher's title for books) is given in Latin transliteration, followed by [in Russian], [in French].
