Author guidelines

All materials submitted for publication in the journal are reviewed and approved by the editorial board. Before reviewing, all materials go through the initial review procedure, during which they are checked for compliance with formal requirements.

The manuscripts that have passed the primary selection are sent to reviewers. The peer review procedure is double blind, that is, anonymous for the author and reviewer. For the editor-in-chief to make a final decision on the publication of an article, at least two positive reviews from reviewers are required.

The review must contain the following main components:

Evaluation of the contents of the scientific article proposed for publication and the possibility of its publication in the journal;
If any, a list of specific errors, inaccuracies or falsifications in the tools, methodology or research results;
If necessary, proposals for revising, supplementing or changing the text of the publication.
The reviewer can make the following recommendations for the publication of the article:

“The article can be recommended for publication”, if the manuscript does not contain errors, meets the requirements of the relevance and originality of scientific research. In this case, the manuscript is included in the list of intended publications of the journal (“editorial portfolio”).
“An article can be recommended for publication, subject to its revision in accordance with comments of the reviewer.” In this case, the article is sent to the authors for revision, and upon receipt of the revised text, it is reviewed again. If the reviewer provides significant comments to the article, it is rejected by the decision of the editorial board without the right to further revision.
“The article cannot be recommended for publication.” In this case, the article is rejected by the decision of the editorial board.
Note that copies of reviews are sent to the authors. In case of disagreement with the opinion of the reviewer, the author has the right to send a claim to the scientific editor, which will be taken into account by the editorial board when deciding on the publication of the manuscript. The final decision on the publication is made by the editor-in-chief of the journal on the basis of two positive reviews of the article following the discussion of the article for compliance with all requirements of the editorial board of the journal.

The CHEMICAL PROBLEMS journal publishes articles and reviews reflecting the results of new original research in various fields of chemistry.

Articles must meet the following important requirements:

– The title of the article should be consistent with its content

– Comments should be clear and logical and should be written in a fluent language

– The article should contain material relevant to the stated research question and article type. Experimental, theoretical and review articles should follow the journal’s aims and scope.

– Tables and pictures should not repeat the text in the article

– Descriptions of experiments should be detailed so that they can be evaluated upon repetition.

– The references should be compiled precisely: references should cover the most recent sources of research. You should not make references to teaching materials, abstracts of conferences, dissertations and Ph.D. thesis

Technical design of the article:

– An article (Microsoft Word for Windows, font size 12 pt, Times New Roman) should be executed and sent to the email address of the journal in A4 format with an interval of 1.5 and a frame size of 2.5 cm on each side.

– The text of the article should start with the UDC index on the top from left. Then, in the middle of the page, the name of the article, the initials and surnames of the authors (12 pt), the full name of the institution (institution, etc.) submitting the article, surname, phone number and email of the corresponding author (11 pt). Then abstract (100-200 words) and keywords (3-7) should be provided (11 pt).

– Mathematical and chemical formulas are numbered in brackets with Arabic numerals and chemical compounds are numbered in Roman numerals. Only formulas referenced in the text are numbered.

– If the name of a chemical compound is used more than once in the text, it must first indicate its full name and the abbreviation in brackets, and then only the short name without brackets.

– In the case of non-standard marks and abbreviations adopted by the author, they must be explained at the first use.

– In decimal places, the whole part is separated by a dot (5.32, 4.6, etc.).

– Reference to the literature in the text (not less than 10) is given in square brackets [ ].

After the funding and acknowledgment parts, it should definitely be "Conflicts of Interest".

Conflicts of Interest: Authors must identify and declare any personal circumstances or interest that may be perceived as influencing the representation or interpretation of reported research results. If there is no conflict of interest, please state "The authors declare no conflict of interest."

Artificial intelligence (AI): disclosure and author responsibility

For new submissions, authors must state whether AI or AI-assisted tools were used in the research or manuscript preparation. If used, identify the tool and model/version where available, its purpose, the affected sections, and how the authors checked the output. Distinguish language correction, translation or drafting, literature work, code/statistical analysis, research-method use (including machine learning), and image preparation. This journal also asks authors to disclose AI-assisted language editing.

Describe AI used as a research method in sufficient detail in the Methods or equivalent section to permit evaluation and reproducibility. Disclose substantive manuscript assistance in an AI-use statement. AI tools cannot be listed as authors. Authors remain responsible for the accuracy of text, references, data, analyses and conclusions. AI-generated or altered material must not be presented as genuine experimental observations. For AI-assisted figures, disclose the use in the caption and relevant methods, verify accuracy and publication rights, and retain the underlying data.

The journal does not set an automatic acceptance or rejection threshold based on an AI-detector percentage. An AI-detection score is separate from a text-similarity score and is not conclusive evidence of misconduct. Any screening concern requires editorial review and an opportunity for the authors to explain. Technical checks do not constitute acceptance for publication.

Editors and reviewers must preserve manuscript confidentiality and must not upload unpublished submissions to unapproved external AI services. They remain responsible for their own assessments.

Manuscripts with the plagiarism results prepared according to the rules of the journal are accepted by e-mail info@chemprob.org

The plagiarism results of the article should be with the Turnitin program. Should be for the similarity index until 15 % and publication until 5 %.
