Your web browser may allow you to be notified when you are receiving a cookie, giving you the choice to accept it or not.

Do I need to enable JavaScript to browse this website?
To enjoy this website with all its features you will need to use a browser capable of JavaScript and have JavaScript enabled.

Why does the system sometimes log me out when using the browser’s “Back” button.
In general, it should be avoided to move to preceding pages within the Beilstein Publishing System by using the browser “Back” button, because this can lead to synchronization problems with your session on the server. Instead, the web site provides buttons labeled “Back” and “Previous” on certain pages to facilitate the navigation.
Is this website optimized for a particular screen resolution?
We recommend a screen resolution of at least 1024 x 768 for an optimal browsing experience on our website.
Why are special characters in the downloaded references of an article not displayed correctly in my reference manager program?
The problem can be avoided if the file is first saved to your local drive and then imported into your particular reference manager program. For example, this can be done with Endnote by selecting the “Import...” option from the “File” menu. A dialogue box opens that allows the selection of a “Text Translation”; just choose Unicode (UTF-8) here and special characters are imported correctly.
I am using Microsoft Windows. When I make a submission and copy & paste Greek characters to the text fields (e.g. abstract, title), they appear as normal Roman characters.
If you copy & paste the text from versions older than Microsoft Word 2003, some special characters like Greek letters may appear as Roman letters. To solve this problem, please use the Character Map program which is installed on your Windows PC. Simply, click on Start > Run and type the command "charmap" into the window that opens. The Character Map program enables you to select the characters you want from the font "Arial" or "Times New Roman" and copy & paste them correctly into the text fields.
