Author Guidelines

These guidelines should be read carefully before preparing a manuscript. For further details, please contact the Secretariat (journal@ans.vast.vn; ansn.sec@vast.vn) or visit the Advances in Natural Sciences website.

1. Advances in Natural Sciences: Nanoscience and Nanotechnologyis published quarterly in English and is devoted to all aspects of nanoscience and nanotechnology. Articles will be published either as papers or reviews or comments.
2. Articles submitted for publication must be written in English.
3. Manuscripts must be submitted via the ANSN-ScholarOne Manuscripts Authors need to create an account using their official work email address, or simply log-in to begin the 7-step submission process, if you have already registered.
4. Manuscripts must be formatted as follows: Title, Authors (see 5. below for how the author names should be ordered), Affiliations, Abstract, Text, References. The corresponding author should be indicated and his/her contact information including address, telephone and fax numbers as well as e mail address should be provided. The template for Microsoft Winword can be downloaded from here.
5. The author names in the list of authors under the title must be ordered correctly in the following order: 'given' name first and then 'family', for example Van Hieu Nguyen, or V H Nguyen (similarly to A V Belushkin, for example).
6. The abstract must give concise factual information about the objectives of the work, the methods used, the results obtained and include keywords and subject classification numbers according to the classification scheme of Advances in Natural Sciences: Nanoscience and Nanotechnology. The length should not exceed one third of a page.
7. Keywords (less than three) and subject classification number(s) of the article according to the journal's scheme should be provided beneath the abstract.
