Who Can Submit

The Chemistry Faculty Research series only publishes materials conducted under the auspices of the Chemistry Faculty Research. For additional information, please email uapress@uakron.edu.

How to Submit a Paper

1. Make sure your paper is in an acceptable format. We can accept papers in Microsoft Word, Rich Text Format (RTF), or Adobe Acrobat (PDF). Adobe PDF is the recommended format. If you use a word-processing program other than Microsoft Word, look for an "export" or "save as" option in your program to save it as an RTF file. If you have questions, please email uapress@uakron.edu.

2. Write an abstract for your paper. It can be any length. Please also select keywords. These are words that will help a user locate your paper through an internet search.

3a. Submit the paper by clicking the Submit Research link in the left hand column of the series you wish to submit to. This requires you to create a free account with IdeaExchange.

3b. Alternatively, submit the paper by emailing it to uapress@uakron.edu. Include in the email message the following things: abstract; keywords; and name, affiliation (department and university), and email address for each author.

4. If you have any questions, email uapress@uakron.edu.

Overview of the Process

After you submit your paper, we will create an Adobe Acrobat (PDF) version of it and publish it on the site. You will be notified by e-mail when the paper is posted.

How to Revise Your Paper

If you publish this paper or a revised version elsewhere, for example in a journal, please send the citation of the new version to uapress@uakron.edu. We will be able to inform repository users about the new version.
