Get your Environmental Science: Nano paper right the first time: a ready-made structure with the right abstract and citations, so editors see your science, not formatting slips.

Authored by Sumalatha Gangadhar | Published on 11 August, 2026
Submitting to Environmental Science: Nano goes smoothly when your draft already matches the journal's own rules. Editors screen new manuscripts against the Environmental Science: Nano 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 Science: Nano. 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 Science: Nano 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 Science: Nano 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 Science: Nano 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 Sci Nano requirement |
|---|---|
| Abstract | Unstructured, single paragraph, 50-250 words. Should summarize main findings, objectives and results; emphasize potential impact and importance compared to other research; avoid detailed methods. All manuscripts must also include an Environmental Significance Statement (120 words maximum, separate from abstract) |
| Main text | - The guide does not specify word or page limits for main text. Full papers are judged on 'appropriateness of length to content of new science' but no specific limits given. Communications, full papers, perspectives, reviews have no stated length restrictions |
| 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 specify a keywords section requirement, count, or range. Keywords are only mentioned in the context of using searchable terms in the title and abstract |
| References | Vancouver style (numbered superscript citations, not Harvard author-date). References listed numerically at end of article. Journal will format references to house style before publication |
| Peer review | Single-anonymised (traditional/default), double-anonymised (authors must anonymize manuscript), or transparent peer review (editor's decision letter, reviewers' comments and authors' response published openly with article under CC-BY). Authors choose their preferred option during submission. Reviewer comments remain anonymous unless reviewer chooses to sign their report |

Read the Environmental Science: Nano 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 Science: Nano in under a page.
Skim two or three recent Environ Sci Nano 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 Science: Nano journal page requires it. Disclose any preprint or conference version with identifiers in the cover letter.
Do one focused pass against the Environmental Science: Nano guide for authors: scope, length, reference style, required declarations, and figure quality. Then submit through ScholarOne (Manuscript Central).
