Towards ensuring high editorial standards, every article submission is preliminarily assessed by the editors of the journal before being sent to at least two (2) independent referees.

The following formal principles should be followed in the manuscripts sent to the journal for publication:

• Articles should be written in English or Turkish. English title, abstract and keywords sections are mandatory for manuscripts written in Turkish.
• The submitted manuscript must not have been previously published or submitted to any journal for consideration (or an explanation should be made in the Notes to the Editor).
• Each author's ORCID number (https://orcid.org/) must be submitted.
• The submission file must be in Microsoft Word document file format.
• URLs and DOI numbers of references should be given where available.
• Text; All figures, pictures and tables should be submitted in the text, with single-spaced, 10-point font, italicized instead of underlined (except URL addresses). For printing, quality copies of the pictures (in JPG or TIFF format) should be sent as an attachment file.
• The title of the article should be appropriate and understandable to the content of the article. All headings should be written in bold font.
• Acknowledgments regarding the individual or institutional financial support provided for the research should be included in a separate section at the end of the article.
• All article sections except the abstract, acknowledgments and reference sections should be numbered. The manuscript should be arranged in the form of Abstract, Main Text, Acknowledgments (if necessary) and References.
• Mathematical expressions should be written using the "Equation Editor". Mathematical expressions should be numbered in parentheses.
• Template word file can be examined for article title flow and other details.
• When preparing your manuscript, please use for reference management programs like Mendeley or Zatero.
• Graphical Abstract is not mandority of manuscript. It is fast summary grabbing material so readers can quickly have an idea about the article. It is advised to prepare.

References

In-text references:
All references presented in your article should be included in your reference list, otherwise they should be cited in the text. Some guidelines:

• References presented in parts in your abstract are replaced in full.
• We recommend that you include unpublished results and personal communications in your reference listing, although you may mention them in the body of your article.
• Your reference listing should follow the standard referencing style of the journal for the included unpublished results and personal communications. Include "unpublished results" or "personal communication" instead of the publication date.
• References presented as "in press" indicate that the item has been accepted for publication.
• We recommend using Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) as reference links because this provides a permanent link to the referenced electronic article.

Reference List style:
Concatenated references of a number are indicated in square brackets in the text. You can include author names in the text, but you should always give the reference number, for example, "as shown [3,6]. Barnaby and Jones [8] obtained a different result ....". In Mendeley or Zotero, simply select "Polymers" or "Chemical Engineering Journal" as the journal format. You can download from https://csl.mendeley.com/styles/19371881/openjournalofnano or https://drive.google.com/file/d/1uwOLVfBhI3rFlm46Ec6ZQ5a7gDnRG9Un/view?usp=sharing . You can load it locally by copying it to notepad like text editor and saving it with *.csl extension.

Journal abbreviations can be found in the keyword search at https://www.issn.org/services/online-services/access-to-the-ltwa/ and in the CAS Core Journals List. Cited journals are abbreviated according to ISO 4 rules, see the ISSN Center's List of Title Abbreviations or the CAS Core Journals List (https://cassi.cas.org/search.jsp).

Number your references regularly when they appear in your article.
