Author Guidelines
Preliminary Approval Of Articles
Manuscripts
are submitted in response to an invitation, which may come at the
advice of the editorial board or in response to an author’s proposal.
Authors wishing to submit a proposal for an article or a viewpoint
should follow the instructions given in detail below. Proposals will be
reviewed by the editorial board, who may consult the editorial advisory
board or other experts, and final decisions regarding a subsequent
invitation to submit will be forwarded by the Editor-in-Chief. The
editorial board will not consider proposals from authors whose work has
been recently highlighted in the journal (typically, the past two
years), except under special circumstances. Key to a successful proposal
is a convincing statement that addresses the following questions: Why
this topic? Why these authors? Why now?
When
responding to an invitation, authors should closely follow the
instructions presented in the Preparation of Manuscripts section below
to expedite the review and publication of their work. Each submission
must include the author’s postal and e-mail addresses and telephone
numbers.
All
manuscripts, whether specifically solicited by the Editor-in-Chief or
invited in response to a proposal, are sent to competent readers for
criticism both of scientific content and of readability.
Scope Of The Journal
Accounts
of Materials Research is a journal of concise articles describing
recent research developments in materials science and engineering. Each
Account is directed not only to specialists in the field but also to a
broad range of scientists who wish to keep abreast of the best current
research in fields other than their own. Readability by the non-expert
is therefore essential. Most manuscripts are submitted after invitation
by the Editor-in-Chief, but unsolicited proposals, which may result in
an invitation to submit a manuscript, are also considered.
Materials
research is diverse and inclusive by nature. We believe in the strength
of diversity in all its forms because inclusion of and respect for
diverse people, experiences, and ideas lead to superior materials
solutions to societal challenges and advancement of materials research
itself globally.
Manuscript Types
Articles
A
typical Account discusses a topic of intense interest to the author and
focuses primarily on the author’s own experimental or theoretical
results. Unpublished data may be included, but only to a minor extent.
Articles should present salient experimental discoveries and theoretical
results, interpret their significance, establish perspective with
respect to earlier work and to contemporary research by other
investigators, evaluate the present state of the subject, and cast a
glance to the future.
A
good introduction, including a historical orientation, is critical.
Terms and concepts unique to the research area must be carefully
explained or defined. A short section of concluding remarks should
discuss the broader significance of the work, view it in perspective,
and mention applications or future prospects. Accounts looks with favor
on styles of presentation somewhat less formal than those that prevail
in much scientific writing. Comprehensive reviews do not fall within the
mission of Accounts.
Viewpoints
Viewpoints
examine critically a question of current interest and draw new
generalizations or new perspectives from the evidence. These brief
non-peer reviewed opinions include theoretical implications, mechanistic
interpretation, significance of data, or definitive experiments and
should not be laudatory or for establishing priority. Controversial
viewpoints are welcome, as are ones expressing opinions contrasting with
those in published Accounts. Viewpoints are substantially shorter than
articles. The author should be an expert in the field.
ACS Publishing Center
While
this document will provide basic information on how to prepare and
submit the manuscript as well as other critical information about
publishing, we also encourage authors to visit the ACS Publishing Center
for additional information on everything that is needed to prepare (and
review) manuscripts for ACS journals and partner journals, such as
Mastering
the Art of Scientific Publication, which shares editor tips about a
variety of topics including making your paper scientifically effective,
preparing excellent graphics, and writing cover letters.
Resources
on how to prepare and submit a manuscript to ACS Paragon Plus, ACS
Publications’ manuscript submission and peer review environment,
including details on selecting the applicable Journal Publishing
Agreement.
Sharing your research with the public through the ACS Publications open access program.
ACS Reviewer Lab, a free online course covering best practices for peer review and related ethical considerations.
Manuscript Preparation
Submit with Fast Format
All
ACS journals and partner journals have simplified their formatting
requirements in favor of a streamlined and standardized format for an
initial manuscript submission. Read more about the requirements and the
benefits these serves authors and reviewers here.
Manuscripts submitted for initial consideration must adhere to these standards:
Submissions
must be complete with clearly identified standard sections used to
report original research, free of annotations or highlights, and include
all numbered and labeled components.
Figures,
charts, tables, schemes, and equations should be embedded in the text
at the point of relevance. Separate graphics can be supplied later at
revision, if necessary.
A
two-column manuscript template is available and can be used for
manuscripts submitted to any ACS journal or partner journal. Templates
are not required but may be useful to approximate how an article will
compose. For manuscripts with word count limits, authors are not
required to fit content into a page limit based on the template.
References
can be provided in any style, but they must be complete, including
titles. For information about the required components of different
reference types, please refer to the ACS Style Quick Guide.
Supporting Information should be submitted as a separate file(s).
