Submission Guidelines. Manuscripts should be typed on one side of 8.5 x 11 inch or A4 paper, double-spaced throughout, including the reference section. Three copies of the manuscript should be sent, accompanied by an electronic version. The hardcopy printout must exactly match the file on disk. Manuscripts may also be submitted in hard copy, with an electronic version being sent after the article has been accepted in a final revised form. Authors should also supply a shortened version of the title suitable for the running head, not exceeding 50 character spaces. Each article should be summarized in an abstract of not more than 100 words. Avoid abbreviations, diagrams, and reference to the text in the abstract. Articles must also have three to six keywords. Authors should include telephone and fax numbers, as well as e-mail addresses, on the cover page of manuscripts.
Each manuscript must be accompanied by a statement that it has not been published elsewhere and that it has not been submitted simultaneously for publication elsewhere. Authors are responsible for obtaining permission to reproduce copyrighted material from other sources and are required to sign an agreement for the transfer of copyright to the publisher. All accepted manuscripts, artwork, and photographs become the property of the publisher. Manuscripts will not be processed without a completed and signed copyright form.
A fully completed CIF (Crystallographic Information File) should be deposited with the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (send files as attachments to deposit@ccdc.cam.ac.uk) and the returned deposition number quoted in the experimental section of the manuscript.
Electronic Processing. If you wish, you may initially submit your manuscript electronically to any Regional Editor. Whether you choose electronic or mail submission, send the final, revised version of your article in both paper and electronic forms. We prefer you use Microsoft Word or WordPerfect in a PC format, but will accept any standard word processing software output. Please save all text in one unified file including: the title page, abstract, all sections of the body of the paper, and references, followed by the tables and figure captions. Figures should be in separate files.
Illustrations. Illustrations submitted (line drawings, halftones, photos, photomicrographs, etc.) should be clean originals or digital files. Digital files are recommended for highest quality reproduction and should follow these guidelines:
- 300 dpi or higher
- sized to fit on journal page
- EPS, TIFF, or PSD format only
- submitted as separate files, not embedded in text files
Color Reproduction. Color art will print at the publisher's discretion at no additional cost to the author. Art selected to print in color will publish at the end of the issue and also within the article in the online format.
Tables and Figures. Tables and figures should not be embedded in the text, but should be included as separate sheets or files. A short descriptive title should appear above each table with a clear legend and any footnotes suitably identified below. All units must be included. Figures should be completely labeled, taking into account necessary size reduction. Captions should be typed, double-spaced, on a separate sheet. All original figures should be clearly marked in pencil on the reverse side with the number, author's name, and top edge indicated.
References. References are indicated in the text by consecutive superior arabic numbers enclosed in brackets. For example, the first reference would be [1], the following reference [2], and so on. The full list should be collected and typed at the end of the paper in numerical order. Listed references should be complete in all details, excluding article titles in journals. Authors' initials should precede their names; journal title abbreviations should conform to the style of the American Physical Society.

Offprints Reprints. Each corresponding author will receive a PDF file of the article via email (a CD-ROM containing the PDF file may be sent in certain instances). The PDF file may be circulated up to 50 times either in print or electronic form. Reprints of individual articles may be ordered at the time authors review their proofs. A discount is available to authors who order before print publication.

AIMS AND SCOPE. Primarily fundamental in tenor, Molecular Crystals and Liquid Crystals publishes original research
papers of both an experimental and theoretical nature in three areas of specialization: molecular crystals (spectroscopy, energy, and charge transfer, solid state reactions, photo and radiation effects); low-dimensional solids (structure, electronic, magnetic, and optical properties, transport mechanisms); and liquid crystals (electro- and magneto-optical phenomena, thermodynamics, phase transitions, structure, NMR and orientation controlled spectroscopy). In all three areas, experimental manuscripts describing both preparation and properties will be considered.
