JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL ECOLOGY

《化学生态学杂志》致力于促进对调节生物体内部和之间相互作用的天然化学物质的起源、功能和意义的生态学理解。这种关系通常具有自适应的重要性，包括陆地和水环境中最古老的通信系统。化学家和生物学家之间发展起来的强大的跨学科联系促进了我们对这些自然界相互作用的理解。欢迎国际化学生态学协会的成员或非成员对科学的贡献，包括评论文章、原始研究论文、快速通信和给编辑的信件。稿件必须是英文的。它们可能包括对自然界相互作用的实质性观察、所涉化合物的说明、它们的产生和接受机制，以及将这些基本资料翻译成调查和控制方案。在考虑进行同行评审时，应符合下列准则:论文必须包含生态学的基本原理。论文应该包含化学和生态/行为元素。纯化学或生态/行为论文通常是不合适的。然而，强调结构/功能的化学论文，或表现一些新现象的行为论文将被考虑。专注于寻找新药、除草剂或杀虫剂的论文是不合适的。应用化学生态学是一个合适的主题，只要工作是基于生态问题或关注。以环境科学为重点的论文不应该提交给JCE，除非这项工作涉及到破坏化学生态的影响的演示。化学和分子研究和写作必须遵循JCE 34(8): 984(化学)中阐明的指导方针;JCE 35 (12): 1383 (SPME);JCE (36(12):1288 (molecular)。论文必须具有足够的广度(避免区域性的焦点)和新颖性，才能具有国际吸引力。论文必须用可接受的英语写。如果作者的母语不是英语，我们鼓励他们在投稿前寻求母语为英语的作者的评审。初步的工作是不能发表的，但短论文，无论是表达新的想法或不值得全文地位，可以提交在快速沟通类别。论文长度应在5-6页之间，包含一个图表和/或表格，且不超过12篇参考文献

Journal of Chemical Ecology is devoted to promoting an ecological understanding of the origin, function, and significance of natural chemicals that mediate interactions within and between organisms. Such relationships, often adaptively important, comprise the oldest of communication systems in terrestrial and aquatic environments. The strong interdisciplinary association that has developed between chemists and biologists has accelerated our understanding of these interactions in nature.Scientific contributions, including review articles, original research papers, rapid communications, and Letters to the Editor are welcome from either members or nonmembers of the International Society of Chemical Ecology. Manuscripts must be in English. They may include substantive observations of interactions in nature, the elucidation of the chemical compounds involved, the mechanisms of their production and reception, and the translation of such basic information into survey and control protocols.To be considered for peer review, the following criteria should be met:Papers must contain an ecological rationale.Papers should contain both chemical and ecological/behavioral elements. Purely chemical or ecological/behavioral papers usually are not appropriate. However, chemical papers that emphasize structure/function, or behavioral ones that demonstrate some novel phenomenon will be considered.Papers whose focus is the search for new drugs, herbicides, or insecticides are not appropriate. Applied chemical ecology is an appropriate subject matter so long as the work is based on ecological problems or concerns.Papers whose focus is environmental science should not be submitted to JCE unless the work involves demonstration of effects that disrupt chemical ecology.Chemical and molecular research and writing must follow our guidelines as articulated in JCE 34(8): 984 (chemical); JCE 35(12):1383 (SPME); and JCE (36(12):1288 (molecular).Papers must be of sufficient breadth (avoiding a regional focus) and novelty to have international appeal.Papers must be written in acceptable English. Writers whose native language is not English are encouraged to seek a pre-submission review by a native English-speaking writer.Preliminary work is not publishable, but short papers that either express new ideas or do not merit full paper status can be submitted in the Rapid Communication category. Papers should be 5-6 pages in length, contain one figure and/or table, and have no more than 12 references
