Categories of Manuscripts
The journal Ultrafast Science considers submissions for original research articles, review articles, editorials and perspectives. Prior to submission, each author should review and be prepared to fulfill the submission requirements outlined in the Publication Ethics page and comply with the following limitations.
Research articles should present cutting-edge research of outstanding significance. Submissions must include an abstract of up to 250 words, an introduction and sections with brief informative subheadings. Authors may include up to 10 figures and/or tables and 50 references. The total research article length should be under 10,000 words. Supplementary materials should be limited to information that is not essential for the general understanding of the research presented in the main text and can include data sets, figures, tables, videos or audio files. For ease in preparing your submission, please follow the manuscript templates in Word and LaTex.
Review articles should describe and synthesize recent developments of significance and highlight future directions in ultrafast science fields. Reviews must include an abstract, an introduction that outlines the main theme, brief subheadings and an outline of important unresolved questions. Authors may include up to 10 figures and/or six tables and up to 100 references. Reviews should be no longer than 8,000 words, although longer manuscripts will be considered when warranted. Most reviews are solicited by the editors. Unsolicited submissions will be considered, and authors are encouraged to contact the Editors first before writing a review paper.
Editorials are short, invited opinion pieces that discuss an issue of immediate importance to the research community. Editorials should have fewer than 1,000 words total, no abstract, a minimal number of references (no more than five) and no figures or tables. Editorials are only solicited by the editors.
Perspectives highlight recent exciting research, but do not primarily discuss the author’s own work. They may provide context for the findings within a field or explain potential interdisciplinary importance. Perspectives that comment on papers in Ultrafast Science should add a dimension to the research and not merely be a summary of the experiments described in the paper. As these are meant to express a personal viewpoint, with rare exceptions, Perspectives should have no more than three authors. Perspectives should include an abstract and have no more than 1,000 words and one figure or table.

The Science Partner Journals publishing team has evaluated the work of the companies listed on the SPJ Author Services page and found their services to be effective for editing scientific English language in manuscripts prior to submission.
Experimental Design and Statistics Guidelines
Study Design Guidelines
In the first section of the Materials and Methods, we encourage authors to have first subtitle of "Experimental and Technical Design," which includes a diagram or flowchart to show the entire experimental design and illustrates the most significant elements: materials, treatments, measurements, data collection, methods of data analysis. This will facilitate the editors, reviewers and readers to understand and follow the whole concept, design, and results.
Statistical Analysis Guidelines
Generally, authors should describe statistical methods with enough detail to enable a knowledgeable reader with access to the original data to verify the results.
Reporting Guidelines
Authors are encouraged to follow published standard reporting guidelines for the study discipline. Many of these guidelines can be found at the EQUATOR website.
