Template for Submission of Manuscripts to American Chemical Society Journals
Word 2011, Column Wide Abstract Version
This template is a guide to be used to prepare manuscripts for submission. Please consult the Instructions to Authors or a recent issue of the journal for detailed guidelines and procedures for submission. This template is intended to benefit to the author in that the entire manuscript (text, tables, and graphics) may be submitted in one file. Inserting graphics and tables close to the point at which they are discussed in the text of the manuscript can also be a benefit for the reviewer.
When you submit a manuscript using this template, you will not actually see the page formatting that appears in the printed journal. This will occur as part of the editorial production process. Abbreviated instructions for using the template follow. Consult the documentation for your specific application and version for more information. Additional instructions can be found in the readme file at the web page where you downloaded this template.
Using the template
In ACS publications there are many different components of a manuscript (i.e., title, abstract, main text, figure captions, etc.) that are represented in the template. See the Guide, Notes, Notice, or Instructions for Authors on the journal’s homepage to determine which parts should be included for the manuscript that you are preparing
1.If typing your manuscript directly into the template, select (highlight) the text of the template that you want to replace and begin typing your manuscript (i.e., select the Title section for typing in your title).
2.If you have already prepared your document in a Word file, you will need to attach the template to your working document in order to apply the Word Style tags. Further instructions can be found in the readme file at the web page where you downloaded this template.
a.Go to the Word Style list on the formatting toolbar and you will see all the Word Styles fro
m the template that has now been imported into the current document. A Styles toolbar has been generated that will display the different Styles for you to choose from. If this is not present, select View, Toolbars, and then select Styles and it should appear. You can close this at any time and then reopen it when needed.
b.Click in the sentence or paragraph and then go to the Word Style menu on the toolbar and select the relevant Word Style. This will apply the Word Style to the entire text (sentence or paragraph). Do this for all sections of the manuscript.
3.To insert graphics within the text or as a figure, chart, scheme, or table, create a new line and insert the graphic where desired. If your graphic is not visible, ensure that the Word Style is “Normal” with an automatic height adjustment. If the size of the artwork needs to be adjusted, re-size the artwork in your graphics program and re-paste the artwork into the template (maximum width for single-column artwork, 3.3 in. (8.5 cm); maximum width for double-column artwork, 7 in. (17.8 cm)). NOTE: If you are submitting a Table of Contents graphic, please insert the graphic at the end of the file.
4.Ensure that page numbers are present on all pages before submitting your manuscript.
5.Delete these instructions and any sections that are not needed.
6.Save the file with the graphics in place: select Save As (File menu) and save it as a document file (not a .dot template file).
editorial column7.Proof the manuscript to ensure that all parts of the manuscript are present and clearly legible.
TITLE (Word Style "BA_Title"). The title should accurately, clearly, and concisely reflect the emphasis and content of the paper. The title must be brief and grammatically correct. The space above the title is provided for the Journal logo. Do NOT delete this space.
AUTHOR NAMES (Word Style "BB_Author_Name"). Include in the byline all those who have made substantial contributions to the work, even if the paper was actually written by only one person. Use first names, initials, and surnames (e.g., John R. Smith) or first initials,
second names, and surnames (e.g., J. Robert Smith). Do not use only initials with surnames (e.g., J. R. Smith) because this causes indexing and retrieval difficulties and interferes with unique identification of an author. Do not include professional or official titles or academic degrees. At least one author must be designated with an asterisk as the author to whom correspondence should be addressed.
AUTHOR ADDRESS (Word Style "BC_Author_Address"). The affiliation should be the institution where the work was conducted. If the present address of an author differs from that at which the work was done, indicate with a symbol and give the Present Address under Author Information. If more than one address, use symbols to match author names to address(es).
