How to write research papers for STM journals

How to explain your research and organize the data in an effective and logical way for publication in an STM journal?

Song Gao, Professor of Chemistry at Peking University, is sharing his experiences and handy tips on scholarly writing. Structure of an academic paper, function of each section and principles of science writing are introduced in the recently published Editorial in Inorganic Chemistry Frontiers.

More about Song Gao…

Song Gao got his BS and PhD in chemistry at Peking University (PKU) in 1985 and 1991, and now is Professor of Chemistry at the same University. He was a Humboldt Research Fellow in TH Aachen from 1995 to 1997. He has been Cheung Kong Professor in College of Chemistry and Molecular Engineering at PKU since 2002, and served as dean of this college in 2006-2010. He is currently the vice chancellor of PKU and deputy director of Beijing National Laboratory for Molecular Sciences. He received the State Natural Science Award (the 2nd Grade) in 2006 because of his contribution in magnetic coordination polymers and molecular nanomagnets. He was elected as a member of Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2007 and in the same year he became a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry.

Song Gao’s research interests are magnetic ordered coordination polymers, molecular nanomagnets, molecular and crystal engineering, and multifunctional molecular materials. He has published more than 450 papers on world leading academic journals including Nature, JACS and Chemical Science. He is member of the Editorial/Advisory Board for many international journals and now is serving as Editor-in-Chief of Inorganic Chemistry Frontiers.

4th International Conference on Metal-Organic Frameworks and Open Framework Compounds

The 4th International Conference on Metal-Organic Frameworks and Open Framework Compounds (MOF2014) will take place from 28 September to 01 October 2014 in Kobe, Japan. This conference aims to address all questions concerning metal-organic frameworks, metal coordination compounds, and related materials, and will cover all aspects of MOFs from synthesis and characterization of new materials over properties of MOFs to all manner of applications.

MOF2014 will highlight three key areas:

  • Fundamental Study and Discovery of MOFs:
    new structures and fabrication, unusual phenomena in pores/channels
  • Functions, Applications, and Commercialization of MOFs:
    storage, separation, catalysis, sensing, conductivity, bio-inspired functions
  • Hybridization of MOFs and Organic Networks:
    including Covalent Organic Frameworks (COF) and Molecular Cage-Type Compounds

Inorganic Chemistry Frontiers is also attending this conference as a sponsor to celebrate the recent important developments in MOFs and related interdisciplinary research areas.
