Submitting to Environmental Epigenetics goes smoothly when your draft already matches the journal's own rules. Editors screen new manuscripts against the Environmental Epigenetics 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 Environmental Epigenetics. 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 Environmental Epigenetics 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 Environmental Epigenetics 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 Environmental Epigenetics 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 | Environ Epigenetics requirement |
|---|---|
| Abstract | Maximum 250 words suggested. Unstructured format. Avoid reference citations and abbreviations in the abstract. No different requirements stated for different article types |
| Main text | Research Article: not normally more than 10,000 words. Perspectives: not normally exceeding 7,000 words. Technical Briefs: not normally exceeding 2,000 words. Research Highlight: not normally exceeding 1,000 words. Word counts exclude the Abstract and References. Articles should be structured according to IMRAD format (Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, and Discussion) |
| 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 | Numbered style (Vancouver-like): references cited numerically as they appear in the text. At initial submission, any readable style is acceptable with authors responsible for accuracy. At revision stage, authors may be asked to comply with numbered Vancouver-like format with ISO abbreviated journal names, first three authors listed followed by 'et al.' for four or more authors |
| Peer review | Single-blind (single-anonymous): reviewers know the identity of authors, but authors do not know the identity of reviewers |
| Submission | mc.manuscriptcentral.com/envepig |
Read the Environmental Epigenetics 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 Environmental Epigenetics in under a page.
Skim two or three recent Environ Epigenetics 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 Environmental Epigenetics journal page requires it. Disclose any preprint or conference version with identifiers in the cover letter.
Do one focused pass against the Environmental Epigenetics guide for authors: scope, length, reference style, required declarations, and figure quality. Then submit through ScholarOne (Manuscript Central).
