Submitting to Inorganic Chemistry Frontiers goes smoothly when your draft already matches the journal's own rules. Editors screen new manuscripts against the Inorganic Chemistry Frontiers 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 Inorganic Chemistry Frontiers. 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 Inorganic Chemistry Frontiers 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 Inorganic Chemistry Frontiers 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 Inorganic Chemistry Frontiers 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 | Inorganic Chem Frontiers requirement |
|---|---|
| Abstract | Unstructured single paragraph, 50-250 words. Should be concise, use familiar searchable terms and keywords, set out main objectives and results, emphasise potential impact, and avoid detailed methodology |
| Main text | for Research articles. Chemistry frontiers and Highlights are limited to four journal pages in length. No specific word or page limits stated for standard Research articles or Reviews in the guidelines |
| 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 | Vancouver style (numbered, superscript citations in text, numerical order at end). Journal articles format: A. Name, B. Name and C. Name, Article title, Journal Title, year, volume, page/article number(s), DOI [optional]. Journal abbreviations follow Chemical Abstracts Service Source Index (CASSI) |
| Peer review | Single-anonymised (traditional) or transparent peer review (opt-in). Transparent peer review publishes editor's decision letter, reviewers' comments and authors' response alongside article under CC-BY license. In traditional single-anonymised review, reviewer identities remain anonymous |

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