Types of articles published in the journal
The journal “Mass spectrometry” publishes original research articles and letters to the editor that have not previously been published in other publications. Periodically make this information available on various issues of fundamental and applied mass spectrometry, as well as review articles on new promising emerging developments. It is also proposed periodic publication of articles and academic nature that may be useful to young scientists, graduate students and students in the study of fundamental and applied aspects of mass spectrometry. In addition, the journal will publish book reviews, software reviews, discussion papers, information about and upcoming Russian and international conferences on mass spectrometry and near areas of science.
Original research papers should present their own experimental, theoretical and applied results of the authors, contain the required number of experimental or computational details that provide playback of data, and should be perceived as sufficient description of completed studies. The volume of these manuscripts should not exceed 20 pages, typed on a computer with 1.5 line spacing and font size 14, including illustrative materials.
Letters to the editor should describe in summary form new ones, especially important and impressive results of the authors. They should also contain sufficient experimental or design information to enable the reader to reproduce the results. In the form of letters to the editor are published, and discussion comments to articles already published in the journal “Mass spectrometry”, and other domestic and foreign periodicals. The authors discuss the work can also take part in a discussion in the framework of this type of publication. In the form of letters to the editor are published proposals for nomenclature and terminology, practical tips for carrying out the experiments and data processing. Letters to the editor are published out of order. The volume of these manuscripts should not exceed 6 pages, typed on a computer with 1.5 line spacing and font size 14, including illustrative materials.
Reviews should consider the current problems of mass spectrometry with a critical analysis of the data published in the last 20-30 years. Admitted author’s reviews. Review articles tend to have ordered. However, in certain surveys, topics which are offered by the authors. In this case, prior to writing the review must be harmonized with the editors of the magazine. The maximum amount of reviews of manuscripts should not exceed 40 pages, typed on a computer with 1.5 line spacing and font size 14, including illustrative materials.
Articles about fairly new, but promising and rapidly developing areas, are usually presented by scientists who have made the greatest contribution to the development of this direction or a strong interest in this area. These articles also have a custom character, but proposals by the authors will also be considered.
Comprehensive articles, materials, and comments. Educational articles describing new, but already quite developed mass spectrometric methods and methodological approaches commonly ordered scientist who made the greatest contribution to the development of these methods.
Russian manuscript authors should be written in Russian. English-speaking foreign authors can submit manuscripts in either English (acceptable as English and American spelling), or in Russian. The article must be well written in a fairly concise manner and must contain the required number of illustrative material. Avoid repetition of the same data in tables, figures, and text. Authors should be aware that the reader is familiar with mass spectrometry in general, but not necessarily its specific area, which is discussed in the article.
Structure of the manuscript
The material of the manuscript should be organized as follows:
1. The full title of the paper (do not use any abbreviations)

7. A separate page should be given captions. Captions should include the figure number and a brief description in a sentence or two experimental conditions.
8. The manuscript concludes a set of tables and figures (preferably each numbered table and figure present on a separate page.) Tables should be numbered consecutively in Arabic numerals. Each table should have a short title that describes its contents.
9. On a separate page gives a complete English translation of the article title, authors, organizations, summaries, keywords. The authors of English language material is not required.
10. For letters to the editor arrangement of the material is the same as for large items (items are not labeled).
11. Reviews, prospective survey and tutorial papers do not contain special sections and discussion of the experimental results. However, the annotation can be accompanied by a table of contents, and the full article to break the relevant headings.
12. For the English version of the journal authors (in addition to item 9) must submit a list of used mass spectrometry and other special terms in English, English names mentioned in the article was a reaction, reagents, biological and other words and phrases, the correct translation of which is important in Article translated into English. List a separate file, the file name must consist of the first author’s surname and the word glossary (eg, ivanov-glossary.doc).
Manuscript
1. The manuscripts are sent to the editor in electronic format only. In preparing the material on your computer, use the following programs and file formats:
a) The text should be typed in the editor, Microsoft Word (version 6.0) with 1.5 line spacing.
b) The tables should be formed only in MS Exel spreadsheet editors or MS Word. Generate a table using the indentation, spacing, and tabs can not.
c) Graphic drawings and photographs should be submitted in the format TIFF, scanning and processing of drawings should be made with a resolution of at least 1200 dpi for line drawings and 300 dpi for black-and-white drawings and color photographs. Curves, graphs, and other line art, if they are obtained by scanning of paper originals, should be given in the format EPS (AI).
d) for a set of chemical structures reaction schemes fragmentation mechanisms, etc. You can use any specialized program, for example, ChemWindow, HyperChem, ChemDraw, ChemOffice, ISIS Draw.
e) All of the mathematical and chemical symbols, formulas and equations and diagrams of the reactions and fragmentation should be inserted in the appropriate places of the text.
2. The text of articles can be printed in any font, but more preferred are common fonts like Times New Roman, Arial, Courier. The names of chemical compounds must be given according to the nomenclature recommended by the IUPAC (“IUPAC nomenclature rules in Chemistry”, 1979). To identify certain chemical compounds terms substituents in text (but not in the title and abstract) can use conventional abbreviations for example, alkyl (Alk), aryl (Ar), a halogen (Hal), methyl (Me), ethyl (Et ), propyl (Pr), isopropyl (i-Pr), butyl (Bu), tert-butyl (t-Bu); (italics i, t, t) amino acid – glycine (Gly), alanine (Ala), valine ( Val), etc. In the designation of certain solvents in the text can also be used to reduce the established, such as DMSO – dimethyl sulfoxide, THF – tetrahydrofuran, DMF – dimethylformamide, TMS – trimethylsilane and so must use standard mass spectrometric terms recommended by the IUPAC (Pure and Applied Chemistry 63, 1541 – 1566 (1991), as well as suggested in the book (OD Sparkman, Mass Spec Desk Reference, Global View Publishing, Pittsburg, 2000). Periodically, this terminology will be published in the journal “Mass Spectrometry.” dimensions of all physical quantities should only be given in International SI. By way of exception can be used Daltons (Da) refer to the mass and energy eV notation. avoid giving constituents dimension as fractions: J / mol mol / l, etc., and use superscripts: kJ mol-1 mol L-1, etc. (not recommended kcal mol-1 instead of kJ mol-1). decimals integer part from the decimal separator is used. interval between the numbers denoted by a dash (for example, 20-70) , the negative power in dimensions is denoted by a minus (hyphen), not a hyphen. Basically, you can use the text-established abbreviations commonly known physico-chemical methods (GC, HPLC, NMR, etc.). However, you should not use these abbreviations in the title and abstract. remaining non-standard symbols and abbreviations are explained in the text of the first occurrence (here, they are given in parentheses in bold). Mathematical equations indent and numbered in Arabic numerals in parentheses to the right of equations. Latin letters in the equations, diagrams , text, tables, figures given in italics and the Greek right.
3. Formulae mentioned more than once, all in bold Arabic numerals and numbered in order of appearance in the text. schemes and fragmentation reactions is desirable to enumerate (without additional placards), referring to the the text to the number scheme. Tables and figures must be numbered in order of appearance reference in the text (see Table 1, Table. 2, etc., Fig. 1a, Fig. 2d, Fig. 5, etc.) . drawings themselves on the field to give the notation a, b, c, etc. without brackets. numerical designation on the curves give italics. Graphs mass spectra axes denoted as follows: x-axis – m / z; ordinate – relative intensity, %. signatures in the tables and in the maps themselves are not allowed contraction of the words.
4. in the experimental section should provide information on the purity of the compounds studied, their preparation with reference to relevant literature. For newly synthesized compounds should be in sufficient detail to describe the reaction as well as lead Physico-chemical constants and spectral data (not mass spectral) confirming their structure. Mass spectrometry experiment to be presented listing brand instrument ionization method and conditions used the system input samples chromatographic techniques (column stationary and mobile phase conditions Chromatography), etc. Non-standard mass-spectrometric experiments should be described in more detail.
5. References in the paper should be numbered in the text by Arabic numerals in square brackets in order of mention. shall not be used for endnotes of references. References should be registered in the as entered into force (September 2008) of the new National Standard of the Russian Federation “,” bibliographic references. general requirements and rules “(GOST 2008 7.0.5.) References in the reference list must contain the names and initials of all authors, the full the titles of articles, abbreviations of journals (according to the system used in the Chemical Abstract) and be issued as follows. All punctuation marks (., / / /,) Should be placed as indicated in the instructions (leave gaps where necessary).
