Formatting Requirements

Reviews, Analyses, and Instructional Studies in Electrochemistry (RAISE) has no general rules about the formatting of articles upon initial submission, except that the authors omit their names from the submitted manuscript. Author names will be required during the submission process on the website but will be withheld to maintain the double-blind review process. There are, however, rules governing the formatting of the final submission. See Final Manuscript Preparation Guidelines for details. Although bepress can provide limited technical support, it is ultimately the responsibility of the author to produce an electronic version of the article as a high-quality PDF (Adobe's Portable Document Format) file, or a Microsoft Word, WordPerfect or RTF file that can be converted to a PDF file. Submitted manuscripts that are unclear and difficult to follow will be returned to the authors without review. Authors are welcome to resubmit after improving the structure and clarity of the manuscript.

It is understood that the current state of technology of Adobe's Portable Document Format (PDF) is such that there are no, and can be no, guarantees that documents in PDF will work perfectly with all possible hardware and software configurations that readers may have.
