Manuscript submission

Appendix 5-1 matches selected scientific publishers and research grant agencies with the manuscript submission software they use and manuscript submission sites. 

Depending on the publisher, authors may be asked to e-mail the prepared manuscript to the editor, to upload it via an FTP server, or to upload files through the publisher s Web browser to a secure Web site using HTTP protocol. It is extremely important to submit manuscripts in the method designated for that particular journal because submission mechanisms may vary, even within one publisher s journals. If the journal requires online manuscript submission, submit all files to that Web site. Similarly, if the journal uses FTP or e-mail, follow the instructions carefully and send all manuscript components via the same route, unless indicated otherwise. 

This appendix contains a list of scientific publishers and research grant agencies, along with the software they use for online manuscript submission and the manuscript submission site, if there is one.

We thank all of the chapter authors, primarily for the excellent contributions, but also for their cooperation and their timeliness regarding manuscript submission. We are also grateful for the excellent assistance of Johanna Voegele (Ulm University) with chapter reviews. 

The journal Molecules (Springer-Verlag) has the same editorial policies and procedures as the Journal of Molecular Modeling with regard to manuscript submission and processing and having a hard-copy edition. 

The editors encourage prospective authors to correspond with them in advance of submitting a manuscript. Submission of manuscripts should be made to the Editor-in-Chief or one of the Editors. See also www.springeronline.com/series/624...
