Journal guidelines
For guidance on preparing your article please visit our Prepare your article and Resources for authors pages, the content of which is relevant to all of our journals. Note that some journals have additional specific guidelines.
Bibliographic references
We encourage the citation of primary research over review articles, where appropriate, in order to give credit to those who first reported a finding. Find out more about our commitments to the principles of San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA).
These should be listed at the end of the manuscript in numerical order as they appear in the manuscript. Article titles of bibliographic references are requested at the time the manuscript is submitted to the journal. Bibliographic details should be cited in the order: authors, title, journal, year, volume, page. For example: M. Zhang, C. Hou, A. Halder, H. Wang, Q. Chi, Graphene papers: smart architecture and specific functionalization for biomimetics, electrocatalytic sensing and energy storage, Mater. Chem. Front., 2017, 1, 37.
Partnership information
Materials Chemistry Frontiers belongs to Frontiers Journal portfolio, an enterprising collaboration between the Chinese Chemical Society and the Royal Society of Chemistry.
The Frontiers project aims to publish a series of high impact, quality chemistry journals that showcase the very best research from China, Asia and the rest of the world to an international audience.
For each journal title, the intention is to collaborate with a leading Chinese institute in the relevant field. For Materials Chemistry Frontiers, this is the Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
The key benefits
- It is wholly society and institute owned.
- The journal is truly international, and China-led.
- The highest ethical standards are upheld.
Readership information
Materials Chemistry Frontiers appeals to academic and industrial scientists involved in materials research.
