A strong study can still bounce at Journal of Leather Science and Engineering before review if the manuscript ignores the journal’s formatting requirements. This template is built around JLSE’s actual requirements — its abstract rules, numbered Springer/Vancouver style references, and the required declarations — so your submission clears screening on the first pass. Everything below tracks the JLSE author guidelines; check it directly if anything looks out of date by the time you submit.
It’s a manuscript shell set up to JLSE’s specifications for leather science, tanning chemistry, and related materials engineering. Journal of Leather Science and Engineering is published by Springer. The shell covers the title page, the abstract, a body in Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion (IMRaD) order, and a reference list in numbered Springer/Vancouver style.
Start with the title page (authors, affiliations, and ORCID iDs). The abstract is a concise abstract of ≤250 words. The body follows Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion (IMRaD), and the reference list uses numbered Springer/Vancouver style. Close with the declarations block: conflict of interest, funding, and data availability.
Beyond that, match your article type’s specific limits rather than assuming the defaults apply, keep numbered Springer/Vancouver style formatting consistent from the first draft, and submit only through the journal's Editorial Manager / online submission system — email submissions aren’t processed.
The shell mirrors what JLSE’s editorial staff check first: abstract format and length, numbered Springer/Vancouver style reference formatting, and a complete declarations block. For the journal’s full aims and scope, see the JLSE journal home page. Journal of Leather Science and Engineering is open access; check the current article-processing charge and any waiver. Manuscripts go in through the journal's Editorial Manager / online submission system, which also tracks your paper through peer review.
| Element | JLSE requirement |
|---|---|
| Abstract | a concise abstract of ≤250 words |
| Main text | Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion (IMRaD) |
| Declarations | Conflict of interest, funding, and data availability |
| Figures / tables | Captioned, cited in order; check format and resolution rules in the guide |
| Supplemental | Large datasets, extra tables, code — uploaded separately and cited in text |
| Submission | the journal's Editorial Manager / online submission system |
Read the JLSE author guidelines once before drafting and once before upload. Draft the abstract after your results are stable so it matches the paper. Set numbered Springer/Vancouver style as your reference style before adding a single citation — retrofitting it later is where errors creep in.
Skim two or three recent JLSE papers to calibrate depth, structure, and figure style. State your contribution in the first two paragraphs, not on page ten. Write a data-availability statement that names a real repository rather than a placeholder, and disclose any preprint or conference version with identifiers in your cover letter. Confirm current open-access pricing and any institutional agreement before committing to a fee.
Do one focused pass against the JLSE author guidelines: scope fit, abstract format, length, numbered Springer/Vancouver style references, required declarations, and figure quality. Then submit through the journal's Editorial Manager / online submission system.
