Anales de la Real Academia Nacional de Farmacia

Preparation for the sending

The Journal Anales de la Real Academia Nacional de Farmacia will publish articles in all areas of pharmaceutical sciences. Submission of a manuscript implies that the paper has not been submitted to or published in any other journal, in the same or similar form, in Spanish, English or in any other language. The authors agree that if accepted for publication the article copyright is transferred to the Real Academia Nacional de Farmacia (RANF). Authors are required to obtain permission to reproduce previously copyrighted materials from other sources. The editors reserve the right to introduce minor changes in  the manuscript to adjust them to the norms of the Journal or improve the style. The content  of the article will be assesed by  appropiate referees, indicated by the scientific editor.

Articles should conform to one of the categories below: 

1) Articles, for communication of original research. Articles should follow the usual form of presentation, including Introduction, Material and Methods, Results and Discussion, Acknowledgements and References. They should have a maximum of 25 pages, including figures, tables, diagrams, etc. All pages should be numbered. 

2) Reviews, for communicating progress in a specific field of pharmacy. They should have a maximum of 40 pages, including figures, tables, diagrams, etc. All pages should be numbered.

All manuscripts should be submitted through the online submission system in DOC or DOCX Microsoft Word format. The graphical images (figures), tables and videos, will be sent as attached files separately. The graphical images, must be sent in jpg or png format, with a minimal resolution of 640x480x72 px, and named to facilitate his location (ej. Fig01.jpg, fig02.jpg, etc.). The legends of Tables will be included in only one file of attached text. The legends of graphical images and videos will be sent also in that file and should be numbered. Schemes of chemical structures should all be of the same size, so that they can be uniformly reduced. They should be sent numbered in the only one file of text, which include schemes and legends. The size of submitted file must be less than 4 MB (preferently less than 2 MB). In the case of extreme difficulties when submitting online, manuscripts can be submitted as e-mail attachments to the editorial office.

Multimedia Files

Multimedia files, such as 3-dimensional computer models, videos, and interactive demonstrations, will be published as online extra to the manuscript. The preferred formats are flv and wmv. The authors must present the electronic complementary information (ESI) with the article as attached, on-line or e-mail. It is acceptable to send it in a CD to the address: Academia Nacional de Farmacia, Farmacia 11, 28004 Madrid (Spain). The additional material will be evaluated at the same time as the accompanying paper and with the same standards.

The Web address of the ESI will be referred to in the article, which will provide the context in which the ESI should be viewed.

Authors, must consider what type of material can be used in HTML or PDF, in order that it could be connected by his article across a hyperlink. Authors should, where possible, supply data in the usual file types. Other formats may be supplied, and every effort will be made to use these where possible. If you are providing an unusual file type, please provide to the Editorial Office with details of any additional software that would be required to view the files. Such software should be available freely via the web.

Authors can present the graphical files in color, with high resolution, and with a minimal size of 1280x1024x96 pixels. The accepted formats are jpg and png. In case of sending text files that include voluminous information and experimental additional details, use the format DOC or DOCX of Word. CIFs of the structure(s) to be reported in the intending publication, previously submitted to relevant Data Center, can also be submitted as ESI. Submission should be done via e-mail at the time of submission of the typescript. Authors can also send molecular graphs in 3D in colour.

Manuscripts Preparation

All manuscripts should be typed double spaced and used Times New Roman 12pt font.

The first page should include the title (in Spanish and English), the name and the address of the authors, an abstract that does not exceed 100 words (in Spanish and English), and 3 keywords also in Spanish and English. If the authors have different directions, they will be numbered with a super index (consult in http://anales.ranf.com/ojs/2011/04/10.htm). The corresponding author should be the one submitting the article on line and should be identified by an asterisk (*) and an e-mail (only one e-mail).

Journal abbreviations should be used, as defined by the Chemical Abstracts Service Source Index.

References should be numbered consecutively throughout the text, in the form of: (1) (1,5) (1-8); the list of references should be placed at the end of the text without parenthesist. Footnotes are not admitted.

References will be placed at the end and numbered as they appear in the text (without parenthesis). It is necessary to mention the surname of every author, before the initials of the first name; later, it will come the title of the journal (in italic), the year (in bold font), the volume (in italic) and finally the page.  Books will be cited in an analogous way, including the name of the publisher, the city and year of the publication.
