Workflow

Submission of articles:
The Royal Society of Chemistry uses the mail domain to identify authors eligible for funding. Therefore, please use your official e-mail address (@uni-graz.at). Follow the University of Graz affiliation guidelines when stating which institution you belong to.
You must cite the funding through the University of Graz in the acknowledgements. This is the recommended wording: “The authors acknowledge the financial support by the University of Graz”.
Articles cannot be changed to Open Access after publication.

After publication:
Your article should be entered into the University of Graz Research Portal. The platform can be accessed from your UNIGRAZonline business card or at forschungsportal.uni-graz.at. For further information as well as instructions, (German only), please see the Intranet.
In accordance with the University of Graz Open Access policy, it is recommended that university members make previously published articles available in the institutional repository unipub, as long as there is no severe legal or financial reason not to do so.
