Submitting to Catalysis Science and Technology goes smoothly when your draft already matches the journal's own rules. Editors screen new manuscripts against the Catalysis Science and Technology guide for authors before peer review, so formatting, structure, and required statements should be right on the first draft rather than repaired during upload. This template sets that structure up for you.
It is a manuscript shell aligned to Catalysis Science and Technology. It covers front matter, the abstract the journal expects, a body organized to the journal's article types, and a reference list in the journal's required style. Confirm current scope and article types on the Catalysis Science and Technology journal page before you draft.
Prepare the title, authors, affiliations, and ORCID iDs. Write the abstract to the journal's rule and word limit, organize the body to the article type, and apply the required reference style from the first citation. Complete every declaration (ethics, competing interests, funding, data availability) the Catalysis Science and Technology guide for authors lists, and cite figures and tables in order.
The common failure modes are formatting or reference style that does not match the guide for authors, missing required statements, and an incomplete portal checklist. Clear all three against the Catalysis Science and Technology guide for authors before you submit.
The shell mirrors what editorial staff check first: article-type fit, the abstract rules, required declarations, and the journal's reference style. For more detail see the author resources. When your draft is ready, upload it through ScholarOne (Manuscript Central).
| Element | Catal Sci Technol requirement |
|---|---|
| Abstract | Unstructured, single paragraph. Should be around 50 to 250 words. Should be concise, use familiar/searchable terms and keywords, set out main objectives and results, emphasize potential impact, and avoid detailed information on how research was carried out |
| Main text | Communications: recommended maximum of four printed pages, though no fixed page limit. Full papers: no restriction on length. Perspectives: typically 10 printed pages (ca. 18-24 pages of typescript), though no fixed page limit. Reviews: no specific limit stated |
| Declarations | Ethics approval/consent as applicable; competing interests; funding; data availability |
| Figures/tables | Publication-ready; cited in order |
| Supplemental | Upload separately when used |
| Keywords | - The guide does not mention keywords as a separate required field. Keywords are only mentioned in the context of using searchable terms in the title and abstract |
| References | Numbered, superscript style. References numbered in sequence through text. Listed numerically at end of article with all author names and initials. Journal abbreviations follow Chemical Abstracts Service Source Index (CASSI). Format: A. Name, B. Name and C. Name, Journal Title, year, volume, page/article number(s), DOI [optional] |
| Peer review | Single-anonymised (single-blind) peer review. The journal also offers transparent peer review as an option during submission, where reviewer comments remain anonymous unless the individual chooses to sign their report |
| Submission | mc.manuscriptcentral.com/cy |
Read the Catalysis Science and Technology guide for authors once before drafting and once before upload. Draft the abstract after results are stable. Set the reference style before adding citations. Keep a cover letter that states your contribution and fit to Catalysis Science and Technology in under a page.
Skim two or three recent Catal Sci Technol papers to calibrate depth and figure style. Make the novelty clear in the first two pages. Deposit data and code when the policy on the Catalysis Science and Technology journal page requires it. Disclose any preprint or conference version with identifiers in the cover letter.
Do one focused pass against the Catalysis Science and Technology guide for authors: scope, length, reference style, required declarations, and figure quality. Then submit through ScholarOne (Manuscript Central).
