How to Use the Energy Fuels Template | A Step-by-Step Guide
Authored by Sumalatha Gangadhar | Published on 25 July, 2026
Submitting to Energy Fuels goes smoothly when your draft already matches the journal's own rules. Editors screen new manuscripts against the Energy Fuels 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.
What is the Energy Fuels Template?
It is a manuscript shell aligned to Energy Fuels. 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 Energy Fuels journal page before you draft.
What's actually in a EF submission:
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 Energy Fuels guide for authors lists, and cite figures and tables in order.
What separates a clean submission from one that gets kicked back:
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 Energy Fuels guide for authors before you submit.
What does this Energy Fuels Template include?
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 ACS Paragon Plus.

Energy Fuels Template Structure at a Glance
| Element | EF requirement |
|---|---|
| Abstract | Articles: An abstract shorter than 300 words should be included. The abstract should state briefly the reason for the work, the significant results, and the conclusions. Communications: Since abstracts of Communications are not published, it is wise to include a statement of the principal conclusions and the relevance of the work in the opening paragraph. |
| 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 | Not requested (journal does not use author keywords). Published articles display editor-assigned 'Subjects' for indexing, but authors are not required to provide keywords during submission. |
| References | ACS Style. For initial submission, references can be provided in any style, but they must be complete, including titles. For final publication, references must follow the ACS Style Quick Guide. Abbreviations will follow the conventions outlined in The ACS Style Guide. |
| Peer review | Single-blind/single-anonymized (ACS journals engage in single-anonymized review: authors will not know who is reviewing their manuscript, but reviewers will know who has authored the manuscript) |
| Submission | acsparagonplus.acs.org |
Quick Tips for Using the Energy Fuels Template
Read the Energy Fuels 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 Energy Fuels in under a page.
Best Practices
Skim two or three recent EF 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 Energy Fuels journal page requires it. Disclose any preprint or conference version with identifiers in the cover letter.
Before You Submit: Final Check
Do one focused pass against the Energy Fuels guide for authors: scope, length, reference style, required declarations, and figure quality. Then submit through ACS Paragon Plus.
