AFINIDAD accepts review articles, original papers (experimental 
reports as well as theoretical studies) and short communications 
on all aspects of chemical engineering, process engineering, che-
mistry and biotechnology.
TYPES OF PAPER
1.  Full Papers should include a summary of 100-200 words 
and 3-6 keywords. 
They should be divided into sections: Introduction, Materials 
and Methods,Results, Discussion, Conclusion, Acknowledge-
ments and References. TheResults and Discussion sections 
can be merged if needed.
Full papers should normally not exceed 5000 words, exclu-
ding tables, fi gures andreferences. Each manuscript should 
have a maximum of 10 original (fi gures andtables). Figures, 
tables and schemes should be presented in numeric order.
2. Review Papers and articles of general interest related to 
chemistry are writtenand presented by scientists invited by 
the Editorial Board. The length of thesearticle will depend on 
the subject.
3. Short Communications should provide a concise statement 
of a preliminaryreport or signifi cant research contribution. 
They should include a summary ofnot more than 50 words 
and 3-6 keywords.
They should be divided into: Brief Experimental Method Des-
cription, Results, Acknowledgements and References.
Short Communications should normally not exceed 2500 
words excluding tables, fi gures captions and references. 
They should contain no more than 2 fi gures or tables. They 
will have publication priority.
4. Letters to the Editor should either be on a topic of scienti-
fi c concern orcomment on recently published articles. They 
should not exceed 2 printedpages. 
SUBMISSION OF MANUSCRIPT 
The original manuscript should be sent to the Editor of AFINIDAD 
by e-mail: afi nidad@aiqs.eu.
Authors will receive, by e-mail, an immediate acknowledgement

GUIDELINES FOR MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION
Articles must be written in English, Spanish or Catalan, typed in 
Times New Roman 12 point size, double-spaced throughout on

be written entirely, with their address. The author to whom co-
rrespondence should be addressed should be indicated with an 
asterisk (*).
Abstract and keywords: The abstract should summarize the

used. A list of keywords in alphabetical order should be added in 
order to assist in abstract listing and index production.
Description: The main text should contain the following items in 
the sequence given:
Introduction: It should describe the importance of the work 
in relation to thefi eld, remaining problems, working hy-
pothesis and objective of the study.
Materials and Methods: This section should provide suffi -
cient information toenable replications the work by other 
investigations
Results: This section should include all tables, graphs and 
illustrationsnecessary to understand the study.
Discussion: It should describe the interpretation of the re-
sults in the context ofpreviously published work and the hy-
potheses of the study.
Conclusion: It should state the importance and relevance of 
the work done.
Acknowledgements: Acknowledgements of fi nancial sup-
port, advice or otherkinds of assistance should be indicated 
at the end of the paper. They should bekept to a minimum.
References: References should be listed, in the order in which 
they are cited inthe text, at the end of the article. They should 
be referred into the text betweensquare brackets [number]. 
Abbreviations should conform to the CAS SourceIndex (CAS-
SI). Papers that are unpublished but have been accepted by 
ajournal may be cited with the journal’s name followed by 
“in press”. In all othercases the references must indicate be 
made to “unpublished work” or “personalcommunication”.
Units, nomenclature, formulae, graphs and mathematical 
equations: The use of the Système International d’Unités 
(SI) is recommended. IUPAC standards should be observed. 
Known and accepted scientifi c abbreviations may be used. 
Special abbreviations should be defi ned when fi rst mentio-
ned. Equations, formulae and graphs may be marked with 
Arabic numerals in parentheses.
Figures and tables: Figures and tables should have legends 
or footnotes. Figure fi les should be sent separately in 300 ppi 
resolution. The numbers and letters should be legible after 
the reduction.
