Introduction

On submission

On submission

When you submit your manuscript to the Nano Materials Science, please provide the following.

Article text as a Word (Manuscript Preparation), PDF;

Numbered figures either included within or at the end of the text;

A cover letter, including a statement of the importance of the work

A list of preferred reviewers; these should be entered in the manuscript submission system

Any electronic supplementary information (ESI)

Any CCDC numbers, as well as CheckCIF files for each crystal structure; see the experimental data section for more information

The

submission system allows for up to five files to be uploaded at once.

Alternatively a ZIP file containing up to 20 files can be uploaded. All

files relating to a single manuscript should be uploaded simultaneously

during one transaction.

At revision

As

well as your revised manuscript, you will be asked to provide a

response to the referees, your figures as separate high-resolution files

and a table of contents entry. Full details of what you should include

will be sent to you by the editor when required.

Licence to publish

Corresponding

authors are required to agree to a licence to publish after their

article is accepted for publication. Alternatively, a downloadable PDF

version is available, which can be completed and returned by email or

post to the editorial office.

Before you begin

Policies

Initial assessment of submissions

We

are committed to publishing high quality new work that makes a

significant contribution within the scope of the journal. In order to

meet this aim, submitted manuscripts undergo initial evaluation by an

editor to ensure that they meet essential criteria for publication in

the journal.

Only

those manuscripts that pass this initial review process will be

forwarded to reviewers for further consideration. This process provides a

rapid decision to authors of those papers that are unsuccessful and

reduces the burden on the reviewers. A manuscript may be returned to the

author(s) without external review if, in the opinion of the editor(s),

one or more of the following apply:

the manuscript clearly falls outside the scope of the journal

the work is of poor scientific quality such that it is clearly not suitable for publication in a scientific journal

the manuscript is of insufficient general interest for the journal and would be better suited to a more specialised journal

the novelty of the work falls below that required for the journal

the manuscript represents undue fragmentation of the research into multiple papers

the

manuscript contains redundant information or significant amounts of

material that has already been published elsewhere or is under

consideration by another journal

the quality of the English in the manuscript is so poor as to render the science presented unclear

the

manuscript has already been reviewed and rejected by a different

journal, and the author(s) have made little or no attempt to address the

advice that the editor and/or referees have provided already.

the conclusions drawn by the manuscript are well known or have been published previously.

Similarity Check

Through

Similarity Check, we use the iThenticate software to detect instances

of overlapping and similar text in submitted or published manuscripts.

By

depositing all of our content in the Similarity Check database we allow

other Similarity Check members to screen their submissions against our

published articles.

Further details on our plagiarism policies can be found in our Author responsibilities section.

Ethics in publishing

For

information on Ethics in Publishing and Ethical guidelines for journal

publication see https://www.elsevier.com/publishingethics and

https://www.elsevier.com/ethicalguidelines

Conflict_Of_Interest

All

authors are requested to disclose any actual or potential conflict of

interest including any financial, personal or other relationships with

other people or organizations within three years of beginning the

submitted work that could inappropriately influence, or be perceived to

influence, their work. See also

https://www.elsevier.com/conflictsofinterest

Author's responsibility

Authorship

There

is no universally agreed definition of authorship, but authors should,

as a minimum, take responsibility for a particular section of the study.

The award of authorship should balance intellectual contributions to

the conception, design, analysis and writing of the study against the

collection of data and other routine work. If there is no task that can

reasonably be attributed to a particular individual, then that

individual should not be credited with authorship.

All

authors must take public responsibility for the content of their paper.

The multidisciplinary nature of much research can make this difficult,

but this may be resolved by the disclosure of individual contributions.

Authors

have a responsibility to give due acknowledgement to all workers

contributing to the work. Those who have contributed significantly to

the research should be listed as co-authors. On submission of the

manuscript, the corresponding author attests to the fact that those

named as co-authors have agreed to its submission for publication and

accepts (accept) the responsibility for having properly included all

(and only) co-authors. If there are more than 10 co-authors on the

manuscript then the corresponding author should provide a statement to

specify the contribution of each co-author.

The

corresponding author signs a 'licence to publish' on behalf of all the

authors. Any change in authorship after initial submission must be

approved by all authors and justified to the editor.

In

the case of authorship disputes, authors are encouraged to reach a

mutual agreement. If this is not possible, unresolved disputes should be

referred to the responsible research institution(s) for mediation. The

Nano Materials Science cannot act as an adjudicator to determine correct

authorship.

Please

carefully check the spelling and format of all author names,

affiliations and funding information. If your paper is accepted for

publication, it is important that this information is accurate to ensure

your article is correctly indexed, which may affect citations and

future funding evaluation.

Authenticity and professionalism

Authenticity and professionalism

Authors have responsibilities as detailed below.

Gather

and interpret data in an honest way: Editors, reviewers, readers and

publishers have the right to assume that submitted (and published)

manuscripts do not contain scientific dishonesty and/or fraud comprising

among others fictitious or manipulated data, plagiarised material

(either from the previous work of the authors or that of other persons),

reference omissions, false priority statements, 'hidden' multiple

publication of the same data and incorrect authorship. Authors must not

breach any copyright.

When

reproducing figures and/or schemes from previous publications, it is

the author's responsibility to seek appropriate permission from the

relevant publishers.

Present a concise and accurate report of their (your) research and an objective discussion of its significance.

Give

due recognition to published work relating to their (your) submitted

manuscript by way of correct reference and citation: All sources should

be disclosed, and if a significant amount of other people's material is

to be used, permission must be sought by the author in accordance with

copyright law. An author should not use privately obtained information

(for example, information obtained through conversation), or information

obtained through the performance of a confidential service (for

example, the reviewing of a manuscript), without permission from the

person from whom the information originated.

Declare all sources of funding for the work in the manuscript, and also to declare any conflict of interest.

Identify

clearly in the manuscript any unusual hazards inherent in the use of

chemicals, procedures or equipment in the investigation.

Ensure

that their (your) submitted articles contain no personal criticism of

other scientists; however, criticism of the work of another scientist

may be justified; an article may not contain any defamatory or otherwise

actionable material.

Publication Of Related Works

Publication of related works

Authors have responsibilities as detailed below.

Avoid

undue fragmentation of their work into multiple manuscripts: Editors

have the right to reject submitted articles on the grounds of undue

fragmentation. In particular, a piece of work should not be split into a

number of manuscripts for publication as Communications.

Do

not engage in redundant publication: This occurs when two or more

papers, without full cross reference, share the same hypothesis, data,

discussion points, or conclusions. Previous publication of an abstract

or preprint of the proceedings of meetings does not preclude subsequent

submission for publication, but full disclosure should be made at the

time of submission; please see our processes and policies page for full

details in our section, Journal policy on prior publication.

Re-publication

of a paper in another language is acceptable, provided that there is

full and prominent disclosure of its original source at the time of

submission.

Consider publishing related manuscripts in the same journal or a small group of journals: This can be of benefit to readers.

Inform

the editor of related manuscripts under consideration for publication

by the same author: in any journal, on submission of their current

manuscript: Authors should provide copies of these related manuscripts,

and details of their present status.

Ensure

that a manuscript is submitted for publication in only one journal at a

time: It is not acceptable for an author to submit a manuscript (or

manuscripts describing essentially the same matter) to more than one

journal at a time. A manuscript that is a full paper report of a

published Communication may be submitted for publication; however, the

author has the responsibility to inform the editor of the previously

published Communication.

Open Access

Nano

Materials Science is an Open Access journal, but free of APC for

authors submitting their papers on or before 31st December 2024

Preparation

Article

Article types

Articles commonly fall into one of three main categories: Full-length articles, Review articles and Short communications.

Full-length

articles are original, unpublished primary research. Extensions of work

that has been published previously in short form such as a

Communication are usually acceptable.

Short communications must contain original and highly significant work whose high novelty warrants rapid publication.

Review

articles may be an authoritative overview of a field, a comprehensive

literature reviews, or tutorial-style reference materials. Reviews are

usually invited by the editor, but a topic may be proposed by an author

via the editorial office.

Format and layout of your article

Keep

your writing clear and concise, avoiding repetition or embellishment.

All submissions must be in English. We permit standard English and

American spelling in our journals, but please use one or the other

consistently within the article itself. You are welcome to use common or

standard abbreviations; if your abbreviations are non-standard, please

include a definition the first time you use them. All articles accepted

for publication in the journal are edited and typeset to our house style

by professional editors: the manuscript will be formatted for you.

Experimental data

On

submission of a manuscript authors should provide all data required to

understand and verify the research presented in the article. Nano

Materials Science believes that where possible all data associated with

the research in a manuscript should be freely available in an accessible

and usable format, enabling other researchers to replicate and build on

that research.

Author list

Bylines

should include all those who have made substantial contributions to the

work. To facilitate indexing and retrieval and for unique

identification of an author, first names, initials, and surnames (e.g.,

John R. Smith) or first initials, second names, and surnames (e.g., J.

Robert Smith) should be used. At least one author must be designated

with an asterisk as the author to whom correspondence should be

addressed. Corresponding authors are encouraged to supply phone numbers,

fax numbers, and e-mail addresses in the manuscript for publication.

Title

Titles

should clearly and concisely reflect the emphasis and content of the

paper. Titles are of great importance for current awareness and

information retrieval and should be carefully constructed for these

purposes.

Peer Review

This

journal operates a single blind review process. Manuscript will be

handled expeditiously and will take full advantage of Web technology in

submission and review of manuscripts and approval of page proofs.

Manuscripts selected for further review will be sent to a group of peers

for evaluation. Authors can greatly expedite the speed of this process

by supplying a list of six or more potential reviewers, with their

current title and address, including e-mail addresses. Authors may

request that certain individuals not be used as referees. Such a request

will be honored, unless it is believed that the individual's opinion is

vital in the consideration of the manuscript.

All

manuscripts would be firstly reviewed by editorial office in the

submission system. Any papers fail to meet the basic standard of the

journal would be desk rejected for reasons like out of scope, ethic

issues, high similarities, etc.

Then,

editorial office would assign selected papers to an Editor. For

submissions from Editor-in-Chief, Associate Editors, Guest Editors and

other journal Board members, we ensure that the paper is handled

confidentially by a different team member and the manuscript record is

blinded within our tracking system to the editor who has a conflict so

this person is not able to access either the paper itself or any

information about the peer review process. For other submissions, the

editor team or Guest Editors will select reviewers who have suitable

expertise in the field and must review all disclosures of potential

conflicts of interest made by reviewers in order to determine whether

there is any potential for bias.

After

at least 2 reviewers give their reviews and comments, the editor team

would provide feedbacks based on review comments to the authors

including their own review comments.

When author submits the revised manuscript, the assigned editor would make the final decision.
