Call for Papers & Instructions for the Authors

The International Journal of Corrosion and Scale Inhibition (Int. J. Corros. Scale Inhib.) publishes original papers and reviews dealing with the theory and practice of metal protection by inhibitors.

Manuscripts shall be submitted to the editorial board in English via e-mail (info@ijcsi.pro). All manuscripts will be subject to reviewing (each article will be estimated by two reviewers).

A fee is charged for all publications. The cost of publishing an article is currently 300 USA Dollars. The average publication period is 2-3 months. In addition, we offer the urgent publication service (within 2 weeks) for just 600 USA Dollars (subject to approval by the Reviewers).

Please use good English language in your articles. Publications can be rejected due to poor language quality. If possible, have your articles edited by native speakers. Alternatively, our experts can edit the language in your article. The cost of this service is currently 150 USA Dollars.

All manuscripts shall be provided in Microsoft Word. A manuscript shall include: the title, authors (with their respective institutions, including the street address and postal code), the e-mail of the corresponding author, the Abstract (200-250 words), key words, the article text (recommended structure: Introduction, Experimental, Results and Discussion, Conclusions), References (references to articles published in IJCSI are appreciated). Figures and Tables should be inserted in the text at their preferred positions. Figures shall be provided with the best quality available.

IMPORTANT! Using the MS Word built-in equation editor should be avoided unless it is absolutely necessary (complex equations). Please use ordinary text formatting tools (Italic text, sub/superscripts) even if they seem to be shifted against each other (e.g., in sulfate ion).

References shall be provided in the format as shown in the examples below (for more examples, please see the recently published articles on this site). The initials of all contributors should precede the last names (example: N.N. Andreev). Where possible, the journal titles should be abbreviated as provided in the CAS Source Index (CASSI). Please add any available Internet links (DOI, etc.) to the cited sources. Please also provide the paper titles, especially in reviews.
