Submitting to Education for Chemical Engineers goes smoothly when your draft already matches the journal's own rules. Editors screen new manuscripts against the Education for Chemical Engineers 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 journal specifically expects a Highlights list, a graphical abstract, CRediT author-contribution statements, a data availability statement; build these in from the start. This template sets that structure up for you.
It is a manuscript shell aligned to Education for Chemical Engineers. 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 Education for Chemical Engineers journal page before you draft.
Prepare the title, authors, affiliations, and ORCID iDs. Keep the abstract within about 200 words. 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 Education for Chemical Engineers 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 Education for Chemical Engineers 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 Editorial Manager.
| Element | ECE requirement |
|---|---|
| Abstract | Unstructured abstract required, maximum 200 words. Should state briefly the purpose of the research, the principal results and major conclusions. References should be avoided, but if essential cite the author(s) and year(s). Non-standard or uncommon abbreviations should be avoided, but if essential must be defined at their first mention in the abstract itself. No variation by article type. |
| Main text | Section order and length per article type |
| Declarations | Ethics, competing interests, funding, data as required |
| Figures/tables | Publication-ready; cited in order |
| Supplemental | Upload separately when used |
| Keywords | Maximum of 6 keywords required. Use British spelling and avoid general and plural terms and multiple concepts (avoid, for example, 'and', 'of'). Only abbreviations firmly established in the field may be eligible. Use terms not already in the manuscript's title and abstract. |
| References | Author-date style (Harvard). Text citations: single author (author name + year), two authors (both names + year), three or more authors (first author et al. + year). Reference list arranged alphabetically, then chronologically if necessary. Multiple references from same author(s) in same year identified by a, b, c after year. |
| Peer review | Single anonymized review process (single-blind). All contributions initially assessed by editor for suitability, then typically sent to minimum of two independent expert reviewers to assess scientific quality. |

Read the Education for Chemical Engineers 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 Education for Chemical Engineers in under a page.
Skim two or three recent ECE 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 Education for Chemical Engineers journal page requires it. Disclose any preprint or conference version with identifiers in the cover letter.
Do one focused pass against the Education for Chemical Engineers guide for authors: scope, length, reference style, required declarations, and figure quality. Then submit through Editorial Manager.
