How to Use the Talanta Open Template | A Step-by-Step Guide
Authored by Sumalatha Gangadhar | Published on 26 August, 2026
Submitting to Talanta Open goes smoothly when your draft already matches the journal's own rules. Editors screen new manuscripts against the Talanta Open 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.
What is the Talanta Open Template?
It is a manuscript shell aligned to Talanta Open. 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 Talanta Open journal page before you draft.
What's actually in a Talanta Open submission:
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 Talanta Open guide for authors lists, and cite figures and tables in order.
What separates a clean submission from one that gets kicked back:
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 Talanta Open guide for authors before you submit.
What does this Talanta Open Template include?
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 the journal's submission system.

Talanta Open Template Structure at a Glance
| Element | Talanta Open requirement |
|---|---|
| Abstract | The guide requires a concise and factual abstract not exceeding 250 words. It should briefly state the purpose of the research, principal results and major conclusions; abstracts must stand alone. Avoid references (if essential, cite author(s) and year(s)) and avoid non-standard or uncommon abbreviations (if essential, define them at first mention). Structured/unstructured format and article-type-specific headings are NOT_FOUND (not stated) |
| Main text | : the guide states only that the manuscript should be divided into clearly defined sections covering all essential elements; it provides no overall main-text word/page limit or article-type-specific section order |
| Declarations | Ethics approval/consent as applicable; competing interests; funding; data availability |
| Figures/tables | Publication-ready; cited in order |
| Supplemental | Upload separately when used |
| Keywords | 1 to 7 keywords, written in English, are required for indexing. The guide asks authors to avoid keywords consisting of multiple words (using ‘and’ or ‘of’) and recommends using abbreviations only when firmly established in the field |
| References | Numbered citation style: indicate references in the text with numbers in square brackets (e.g., [3,6]); number references in the order they appear. Journal names should be abbreviated according to the List of Title Word Abbreviations (LTWA) |
| Peer review | Single-anonymous review process (the guide's wording is ‘single anonymized review process’); submissions deemed suitable are typically sent to a minimum of two reviewers, with the editors making the accept/reject decision |
| Submission | submit.elsevier.com/TALO |
Quick Tips for Using the Talanta Open Template
Read the Talanta Open 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 Talanta Open in under a page.
Best Practices
Skim two or three recent Talanta Open 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 Talanta Open journal page requires it. Disclose any preprint or conference version with identifiers in the cover letter.
Before You Submit: Final Check
Do one focused pass against the Talanta Open guide for authors: scope, length, reference style, required declarations, and figure quality. Then submit through the journal's submission system.
