How to submit

 

All manuscripts prepared using the template should be saved in PDF format, this ensures that the integrity of the file is maintained. We actively encourage all authors to convert manuscripts into PDF format; this will also result in a more efficient submission process. Adobe Acrobat (full version) is required to convert files into PDF format. In addition there are a number of free PDF writers available on the Internet via CNET, which can be found by selecting the link below:

The PDF file of the manuscript must be submitted by e-mail to the appropriate regional editor together with a statement of significance of work (authors who wish to submit a SYNLETT Spotlight article should contact the editorial office at spotlights@thieme.de prior to manuscript preparation). The original Word and graphic files should also be submitted as the PDF document is only used for peer-reviewing whereas the original documents are used for all further production steps. If no significant revision is required, these files may be forwarded directly to the publishing house by the regional editor.


Instructions for Authors

Manuscript Template


The manuscript template for SYNTHESIS and SYNLETT is provided to ease both manuscript preparation for authors and the reviewing process for referees. Although it is not compulsory, authors are strongly encouraged to use the manuscript template. By doing so, authors will be able to insert and arrange figures, schemes, and tables within the text. Slight deviations to the layout may occur during the in-house production process, but the print preview of the manuscript template provides a very close representation of the final published document.
