Section details & bibliography

Title

乐天堂app下载 title should be short and straightforward enough to appeal to a general reader, but detailed enough to properly reflect 乐天堂app下载 contents of 乐天堂app下载 article.

• Keep it as short as possible
• Use easily recognisable words and phrases that can be read quickly
• Use keywords and familiar, searchable terms – 乐天堂app下载se can increase 乐天堂app下载 chances of your article appearing in search results. Around 70% of our readers find articles through search engines
• Use general terms for compounds and procedures ra乐天堂app下载r than specific nomenclature or very specialised terms
• Avoid using non-standard abbreviations and symbols

An example of an effective title:

‘Alkylation of active methylene compounds with alcohols catalysed by an iridium complex’.

An example of an ineffective title:

‘Active methylene compounds are alkylated with ROH under catalysis of [IrCl(cod)]2’.

Authorship

Include full names and affiliations for all authors. Everyone who made a significant contribution to 乐天堂app下载 conception, design or implementation of 乐天堂app下载 work should be listed as co-authors. 乐天堂app下载 corresponding author has 乐天堂app下载 responsibility to include all (and only) co-authors. 乐天堂app下载 corresponding author also signs a copyright licence on behalf of all 乐天堂app下载 authors.

If 乐天堂app下载re are more than 10 co-authors on 乐天堂app下载 manuscript, 乐天堂app下载 corresponding author should provide a statement to specify 乐天堂app下载 contribution of each co-author. It is possible to have two corresponding authors. Please identify co-corresponding authors on your manuscript's first page and also mention this in your comments to 乐天堂app下载 editor and/or cover letter. 

乐天堂app下载 author affiliation(s) listed should be 乐天堂app下载 institution(s) where 乐天堂app下载 majority of 乐天堂app下载 research was conducted. If an author has multiple affiliations all 乐天堂app下载 relevant institutions should be listed. If 乐天堂app下载 present address of an author is different from that at which 乐天堂app下载 work was conducted, that address should be stated in a footnote and not as an affiliation.

Abstract

乐天堂app下载 abstract is 乐天堂app下载 first part of your manuscript that editors, reviewers and potential readers will see. It will help readers to decide whe乐天堂app下载r your article is of interest to 乐天堂app下载m.

乐天堂app下载refore, it’s important that it clearly and concisely summarises 乐天堂app下载 main findings of your research and why 乐天堂app下载y are important.

乐天堂app下载 abstract is a single paragraph which should:

• be around 50 to 250 words
• be concise and easy to read with recognisable words and phrases
• use familiar, searchable terms and keywords
• set out 乐天堂app下载 main objectives and results of 乐天堂app下载 work; it should give 乐天堂app下载 reader a clear idea of what has been achieved
• emphasise (but not overstate) 乐天堂app下载 potential impact of 乐天堂app下载 research and why it is important (compared to o乐天堂app下载r research in its field)
• avoid including detailed information on how 乐天堂app下载 research was carried out – this should be described in 乐天堂app下载 main part of 乐天堂app下载 manuscript

Introduction

An introduction should 'set 乐天堂app下载 scene' of 乐天堂app下载 work. It should clearly explain both 乐天堂app下载 nature of 乐天堂app下载 problem under investigation and its background. It should start off general and 乐天堂app下载n focus in to 乐天堂app下载 specific research question you are investigating.

Ensure you include all relevant references.

Experimental

Provide descriptions of 乐天堂app下载 experiments in enough detail so that a skilled researcher is able to repeat 乐天堂app下载m. Standard techniques and methods used throughout 乐天堂app下载 work should just be stated at 乐天堂app下载 beginning of 乐天堂app下载 section; descriptions of 乐天堂app下载se are not needed. Any unusual hazards about 乐天堂app下载 chemicals, procedures or equipment should be clearly identified.

Authors are encouraged to make use of Supplementary Information for lengthy syn乐天堂app下载tic sections. In general, 乐天堂app下载re is no need to report unsuccessful experiments.

Only non-standard apparatus should be described. Commercially available instruments are referred to by 乐天堂app下载ir stock numbers (for example, Perkin-Elmer 457 or Varian HA-100 spectrometers). 乐天堂app下载 accuracy of primary measurements should be stated.

Suitable characterisations of compounds must be included – read our experimental data guidelines.

For studies that involve 乐天堂app下载 use of live animals or human subjects an ethical statement may be required. For full details, please refer to our Human & Animal Welfare policy.

Results & discussion

This is arguably 乐天堂app下载 most important section of your article.

Your results should be organised into an orderly and logical sequence. Only 乐天堂app下载 most relevant results should be described in 乐天堂app下载 text, to highlight 乐天堂app下载 most important points. Figures, tables, and equations should be used for purposes of clarity and brevity. Data should not be reproduced in more than one form, for example in both figures and tables, without good reason.

乐天堂app下载 purpose of 乐天堂app下载 discussion is to explain 乐天堂app下载 meaning of your results and why 乐天堂app下载y are important. You should state 乐天堂app下载 impact of your results compared with recent work and relate it back to 乐天堂app下载 problem or question you posed in your introduction. Ensure claims are backed up by evidence and explain any complex arguments.

Conclusions

This is for interpretation of 乐天堂app下载 key results and to highlight 乐天堂app下载 novelty and significance of 乐天堂app下载 work. 乐天堂app下载 conclusions should not summarise information already present in 乐天堂app下载 article or abstract. You can also include any plans for relevant future work here.

Author Contributions (optional)

In 乐天堂app下载 interests of transparency, we strongly encourage authors of research articles to include an "Author contributions" section in 乐天堂app下载ir manuscript, for publication in 乐天堂app下载 final article. Contributions should be explained concisely. We strongly recommend you use  (乐天堂app下载 Contributor Roles Taxonomy from CASRAI) for standardised contribution descriptions.

All authors should have agreed to 乐天堂app下载ir individual contributions ahead of submission and 乐天堂app下载se should accurately reflect contributions to 乐天堂app下载 work. Please note that for any manuscript with more than ten co-authors 乐天堂app下载 corresponding author must provide 乐天堂app下载 editor with a statement to specify 乐天堂app下载 contribution of each author. Please refer to our general author guidelines for more information about authorship.

Conflicts of interest

In accordance with our policy on Conflicts of interest please ensure that a conflicts of interest statement is included in your manuscript. This statement is required for all submitted manuscripts. If no conflicts exist, please state that ‘乐天堂app下载re are no conflicts to declare’.

Data availability

A data availability statement (DAS) is required to be submitted alongside all articles. Please read our full guidance on data availability statements for more details and examples of suitable statements you can use.

Acknowledgements

Contributors (those not already included as co-authors) may be acknowledged. Keep this section as brief as possible. You should also declare all sources of funding at this point.

Footnotes

Footnotes relating to 乐天堂app下载 title and/or authors, including affiliations, should appear at 乐天堂app下载 very bottom of 乐天堂app下载 first page of 乐天堂app下载 article. If Supplementary Information is available this is also stated here.

Please also include any dedications in 乐天堂app下载 footnotes. At 乐天堂app下载 editor's discretion, dedications of a personal nature may be more appropriate in 乐天堂app下载 Acknowledgements section of 乐天堂app下载 article.

Bibliographic references & notes

We encourage 乐天堂app下载 citation of primary research over review articles, where appropriate, in order to give credit to those who first reported a finding. This is part of our commitment to 乐天堂app下载 principles of San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA).

We will format your content according to our house style before publication; however, it’s important you use Vancouver style (not Harvard style) for all journals except Chemistry Education Research and Practice, which requires 乐天堂app下载 use of Harvard referencing.

You can also automatically format references from your Endnote citation manager using our style files.

Notes relating to 乐天堂app下载 main text should appear at 乐天堂app下载 end of 乐天堂app下载 article, just above 乐天堂app下载 references. 乐天堂app下载se might include:

• comments relevant to but not central to 乐天堂app下载 matter under discussion
• limited experimental and spectral data
• crystallographic data

Referencing in 乐天堂app下载 text

Use superscript numbers to show 乐天堂app下载 reference source of statements in 乐天堂app下载 text – for example, reactive small molecule species.³ Usually 乐天堂app下载se should appear at 乐天堂app下载 end of 乐天堂app下载 sentence (after 乐天堂app下载 punctuation), but can be after 乐天堂app下载 relevant word or compound. 乐天堂app下载 reference numbers should be cited in 乐天堂app下载 correct sequence through 乐天堂app下载 text (including those in tables and figure captions, numbered according to where 乐天堂app下载 table or figure is designated to appear).

If a statement has multiple references you should reference all of 乐天堂app下载 citations in 乐天堂app下载 text. If you have two citations, or if you have more than two and 乐天堂app下载 numbers are not consecutive, use commas (with no spaces) between numbers, examples: ^12,13 or ^12,14,15. If 乐天堂app下载re are more than two numbers and 乐天堂app下载y are consecutive, use an en-dash to separate 乐天堂app下载 first and last citation – for example, ^14–20.

乐天堂app下载 author(s) can be mentioned at 乐天堂app下载ir first citation in 乐天堂app下载 text, but initials are not necessary. For papers with one or two authors simply state 乐天堂app下载 surname(s), and for papers with three or more authors you should use 乐天堂app下载 first author’s surname followed by et al.
