Journal articles, title examples

Like the journal article abstract, most conference abstracts have strict word limitations (typically between 150 and 200 words). Adherence to this limit is expected your abstract will likely be rejected if the limit is exceeded. Many other formatting specifications must also be followed. For example, most instructions include rules for formatting your title, author list, graphics, and special characters (e.g., pm, a, <, m ). The reason for such specificity is that your abstract, if accepted, will be printed (as is) in conference proceedings. Adherence to these guidelines by all authors ensures that the proceedings appear uniform and professional. 

Examples of numerical references to journal articles are shown in table 17.2. Some ACS journals require authors to include the title of the article in the... 

In 1994 the editors of the Publications Division of the American Chemical Society (ACS) began publishing a series of articles titled Ethical Guidelines to Publication of Chemical Research in ACS journals. (See, for example, Journal of the American Chemical Society [1994] 116[13] 8A-10A.)... 

Periodicals Name(s), initials, year of publication in parentheses, full article title, journal title as abbreviated in The ACS Style Guide A Manual for Authors and Editors of the American Chemical Society, volume number, colon, first and last page numbers. Example ... 

The March 2003 edition of the Journal of Professional Safety contained an article titled Severe Injury Potential. The article, authored by Fred Manuele, suggested that accident-prevention efforts should focus more on preventing fatal events. He highlighted some specific examples that lead to... 

A review article is an intensive survey of a rather narrow field for example, the titles of some recent reviews are Desulfonation Reactions Recent Developments , Pyrrolizidine and Indolizidine Syntheses Involving 1,3-Dipolar Cycloaddtion , and From Corrin Chemistry to Asymmetry Catalysis—A Personal Account. A good review article is of enormous value, because it is a thorough survey of all the work done in the field under discussion. Review articles are printed in review journals and in certain books. The most important review journals in organic chemistry (though most are not exclusively devoted to organic chemistry) are shown in Table A.3. Some of the journals listed in Table A.l, for example, the Bull Soc. Chim. Fr. and J. Organomet. Chem. also publish occasional review articles. 

One indication of the developing interest in PATs in the pharmaceutical area is the number of book chapters and review articles in this field that have appeared in the last few years. Several chapters in The Handbook of Vibrational Spectroscopy3 are related to the use of various optical spectroscopies in pharmaceutical development and manufacturing. Warman and Hammond also cover spectroscopic techniques extensively in their chapter titled Process Analysis in the Pharmaceutical Industry in the text Pharmaceutical Analysis.4 Pharmaceutical applications are included in an exhaustive review of near-infrared (NIR) and mid-infrared (mid-IR) by Workman,5 as well as the periodic applications reviews of Process Analytical Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Science in the journal Analytical Chemistry. The Encyclopedia of Pharmaceutical Technology has several chapters on spectroscopic methods of analysis, with the chapters on Diffuse Reflectance and Near-Infrared Spectrometry particularly highlighting on-line applications. There are an ever-expanding number of recent reviews on pharmaceutical applications, and a few examples are cited for Raman,7 8 NIR,9-11 and mid-IR.12... 

Dr. Robert Brent (ref. 11) has helped construct the profile on teratology that is in use at the Institute for Scientific Information. This profile contains over 50 terms. To reduce false hits, some terms carry a negative citation if the word and its negative citation occur in the same title, the article will not be retrieved. For example, the stem word FETUS will not cause a hit if the term CAMPYLOBACTER also appears in the qitation. Twenty-three botanical journals have been given a negative citation to eliminate references in which the term EMBRYO refers only to a plant embryo. 

The Permuterm Index is based on combinations of keywords in the titles of the articles published in the journals which are covered by SCI. For example under the keyword epoxide will be a list of other keywords, such as stereoselective, which occur in association with epoxide. For each pairing there is a list of authors names, and looking these up in the Source Index will lead to the references for the original work. 

Referring to current awareness journals or computer databases these are useful for keeping you up to date with current research they usually provide a monthly listing of article details (title, authors, source, author address) arranged by subject and cross-referenced by subject and author. Current awareness journals cover a wider range of primary journals than could ever be available in any one library. Examples include ... 

The almost 10,000 references are indexed at the end of the book and include the title of the cited book, book section, chapter, journal or review article. The titles of seminal papers written in a foreign language were translated to English. The name of the author of a specific synthetic example was chosen as the one having an asterisk in the reference. 

As you will see, it is always the name of the published volume which is italicized (or sometimes underlined or emboldened), whether it is a singleauthor book, an edited volume or a journal. References include the names of the authors in the order in which they appear on the title page the date of publication (a combination of) the title of the book, article or journal (as appropriate) the place of publication and the publisher. Although there may be some slight variations in punctuation conventions, these key details are always present in the final list of references. What is most important in referencing is consistency all your references must have a similar format. Look at the references in published works that you are reading to get a feel for how to do it. There are different conventions for web resources, and we give examples in Chapter 10. 

In full-text databases the complete articles can be retrieved. They contain the complete text of a documentation unit. In most cases this text is completed with additional data-fields, e.g., descriptor, thesauri, classification code fields. An example of a full-text database is the CJRSC (Chemical Journals of the Royal Society of Chemistry) which is offered by STN. The document, shown in Search Example 2 on the topic of waste removal, is abbreviated. Apart from bibliographic information (author [AU], title [TI], source [SO], abstract [AB]) the full article with tables and figures can be retrieved. The information found is very comprehensive but also expensive in comparison to bibliographic databases (see Chemical Abstracts Service Information System and Inorganic Chemistry Databases). 

The number of examples showing the utility of XPS, widely cited under many research journal titles, are too numerous to be included in a single encyclopedia article. Thus, only two illustrations are presented in this section with specific emphasis on applications for surface science studies to stimulate the reader s interest. Extensive reviews on the latest developments in the technique have been regularly published bi-annually on even-numbered years in Analytical Chemistry, a journal publication of the American Chemical Society. The Journal of Electron Spectroscopy and Related Phenomena, published by Elsevier, Amsterdam, is specifically devoted to the field of XPS as well as other electron spectroscopies. The first example addresses the use of XPS for characterizing the electronic...
