Submitting to Environmental Science: Processes and Impacts goes smoothly when your draft already matches the journal's own rules. Editors screen new manuscripts against the Environmental Science: Processes and Impacts 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: Processes and Impacts. 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: Processes and Impacts 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: Processes and Impacts 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: Processes and Impacts 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 Processes Impacts requirement |
|---|---|
| Abstract | Abstract must be a single paragraph, 50-250 words, concise and easy to read using familiar searchable terms; must set out main objectives and results and give clear idea of what has been achieved; must emphasize (but not overstate) potential impact and importance compared to other research; should avoid detailed information on how research was carried out. Additionally, all manuscripts must include an Environmental Significance Statement (120 words maximum) that categorically states how the work is significant, different from the abstract, setting work in broader environmental science context |
| Main text | No overall word or page limits specified by article type. The guide states that referees give consideration to whether the length of an article is commensurate with its interest to the scientific community. Frontier reviews are described as shorter, more focused versions of Critical reviews on well-defined specific topic areas covering approximately the last 2-3 years. Table of contents entry must be 1-2 sentences using maximum of 250 characters |
| Declarations | Ethics approval/consent as applicable; competing interests; funding; data availability |
| Figures/tables | Publication-ready; cited in order |
| Supplemental | Upload separately when used |
| Keywords | No specific count or range stated in the guide. Authors are instructed to use keywords and familiar, searchable terms to increase chances of article appearing in search results |
| References | Vancouver style (not Harvard style). Use superscript numbers to show reference source of statements in text. Superscripts should usually appear at the end of the sentence (after punctuation) but can be after the relevant word or compound |
| Peer review | This journal offers transparent and double-anonymised peer review, as well as traditional, single-anonymised peer review during the submission process |

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