Getting past the desk at Microporous and Mesoporous Materials is usually less about the research and more about matching the journal’s exact submission rules. This template is built around MICROMESO’s actual requirements — its abstract rules, Elsevier format-free at submission (any consistent style; journal style applied at proof) references, and the required declarations — so your submission clears screening on the first pass. Everything below tracks the MICROMESO Guide for Authors; check it directly if anything looks out of date by the time you submit.
It’s a manuscript shell set up to MICROMESO’s specifications for porous materials — zeolites, MOFs, and mesoporous solids. Microporous and Mesoporous Materials is published by Elsevier. The shell covers the title page, the abstract, a body in Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion (IMRaD) order, and a reference list in Elsevier format-free at submission (any consistent style; journal style applied at proof) style.
Start with the title page (authors, affiliations, and ORCID iDs). The abstract is a concise and factual abstract of ≤250 words, no references. The body follows Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion (IMRaD), and the reference list uses Elsevier format-free at submission (any consistent style; journal style applied at proof). 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 Elsevier format-free at submission (any consistent style; journal style applied at proof) formatting consistent from the first draft, and submit only through Editorial Manager — email submissions aren’t processed.
The shell mirrors what MICROMESO’s editorial staff check first: abstract format and length, Elsevier format-free at submission (any consistent style; journal style applied at proof) reference formatting, and a complete declarations block. For the journal’s full aims and scope, see the MICROMESO journal home page. MICROMESO offers an open-access option; check the current article-processing charge and any waiver before you commit. Manuscripts go in through Editorial Manager, which also tracks your paper through peer review.
| Element | MICROMESO requirement |
|---|---|
| Abstract | a concise and factual abstract of ≤250 words, no references |
| 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 | Editorial Manager |
Read the MICROMESO Guide for Authors once before drafting and once before upload. Draft the abstract after your results are stable so it matches the paper. Set Elsevier format-free at submission (any consistent style; journal style applied at proof) as your reference style before adding a single citation — retrofitting it later is where errors creep in.
Skim two or three recent MICROMESO 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 MICROMESO Guide for Authors: scope fit, abstract format, length, Elsevier format-free at submission (any consistent style; journal style applied at proof) references, required declarations, and figure quality. Then submit through Editorial Manager.
