Use this BMC Chemistry template when the manuscript has to match that journal before you upload it. Check the current rules on the BMC Chemistry journal page.
It is the writing shell for BMC Chemistry: title and authors, the abstract, the body, declarations, figures, and the reference list. The limits that decide a desk reject are on the journal page linked above.
A BMC Chemistry submission has a title page with authors and affiliations, an abstract, keywords, the main text for your article type, declarations, the reference list, and figures and tables. This page does not invent a word limit. Where a rule is not listed below, it was not confirmed.
Read the full rules on the journal page linked above before you upload.
The sections a BMC Chemistry submission is built from, in order: title page, abstract, keywords, main text, declarations, references, figures, and tables. It does not replace the journal's own checklist.
| Element | BMC Chemistry requirement |
|---|---|
| Abstract | Not specified in the official author guidelines |
| Main text | Organize sections for the chosen article type; no single overall word limit is stated in the accessible guide |
| Declarations | Ethics approval/consent as applicable; competing interests; funding; data availability |
| Figures/tables | Publication-ready; cited in order |
| Supplemental | Upload separately when used |
| Keywords | Not specified in the official author guidelines |
| References | Citation style not stated in the accessible author guidelines; match recent articles and any editor instructions |
| Peer review | Peer reviewed; blind model not specified in the official author guidelines |
| Submission | link.springer.com/journal/13065/submission-guidelines |
Open the author guide once before you draft and once before you upload. Match a recent BMC Chemistry paper for depth, headings, and figure style.
Then submit on the journal's portal, not from this page.
