Manuscript submission
To submit a manuscript, please visit the website of the journal at http://chem.scichina.com or link.springer.com/journal/11426, or directly go to the ScholarOne ManuscriptsTM system at http://mc03.manuscriptcentral.com/scc.
Please provide in a cover letter the background, innovative and scientific value of the work presented in the manuscript, and authors’ publications related to this work. The detailed contact information of the first author and corresponding author is required. (Please promptly inform the editorial office of any change of contacting emails and addresses.) The authors may recommend 3–8 qualified reviewers and/or request the exclusion of specific reviewers. An informative cover letter is considered helpful for editors and reviewers to make evaluation of the submitted manuscript.
Duplicate submission is forbidden and unethical. In such cases, the journal will inform the institution of the authors and the relevant journal(s).
Poor English expression of a submitted manuscript may lead to rejection.
Ethical responsibilities of authors
This journal is committed to upholding the integrity of science and the scientific record. As a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), the journal will follow the COPE guidelines on how to deal with potential acts of misconduct.
Authors should refrain from misrepresenting research results which could damage the trust in the journal and ultimately the entire scientific endeavor. Maintaining integrity of the research and its presentation can be achieved by following the rules of good scientific practice, which includes:
The manuscript has not been submitted to more than one journal for simultaneous consideration.
The manuscript has not been published previously (partly or in full), unless the new work concerns an expansion of previous work. (Please provide transparency on the re-use of material to avoid the hint of text-recycling (―self-plagiarism‖).)
2 Sci China Chem
A single study is not split up into several parts to increase the quantity of submissions and submitted to various journals or to one journal over time (e.g., ―salami-publishing‖).
No data have been fabricated or manipulated (including images) to support the conclusions. Upon request authors should be prepared to submit relevant documentation or data in order to verify the validity of the results.
This could be in the form of, e.g., raw data, samples, and records.
No data, text, or theories by others are presented as if they were the authors’ own (―plagiarism‖). Proper acknowledgements to other works must be given, including material that is closely copied (near verbatim), summarized and/or paraphrased. Quotation marks are used for verbatim copying of material, and permissions need to be secured for material that is copyrighted.
Consent to submit, including each version of the paper and any change in authorship, has been received from all co-authors and responsible authorities at the institute/organization where the work has been carried out before the work is submitted or re-submitted for publication. In addition, authorship changes or the order of authors are not accepted after acceptance of a manuscript. Requests to add or delete authors at the revision stage or after publication is a serious matter, and may be considered only after receipt of a written approval from all authors and detailed explanation about the role/deletion of the new/deleted author. The decision whether to accept the change rests with the Editor-in-Chief of the journal.
Authors whose names appear on the submission have contributed sufficiently to the scientific work and therefore share collective responsibility and accountability for the results.
Disclosure of potential conflict of interests
Authors must disclose all relationships or interests that could influence or bias the work. Although an author may not feel there are conflicts, disclosure of relationships and interests affords a more transparent process, leading to an accurate and objective assessment of the work. Awareness of real or perceived conflicts of interests is a perspective to which the readers are entitled and is not meant to imply that a financial relationship with an organization that sponsored the research or compensation for consultancy work is inappropriate. Examples of potential conflicts of interests that are directly or indirectly related to the research may include but are not limited to the following:
Research grants from funding agencies. (Please give the research funder and the grant number.)
Honoraria for speaking at symposia
Financial support for attending symposia
Financial support for educational programs
Employment or consultation
Support from a project sponsor
Position on advisory board or board of directors or other type of management relationships
Multiple affiliations
Financial relationships such as equity ownership or investment interest
Intellectual property rights such as patents, copyrights and royalties from such rights
Holdings of spouse and/or children that may have financial interest in the work
In addition, interests beyond financial concerns and compensation (non-financial interests) that may be important to readers should be disclosed. These may include but are not limited to personal relationships or competing interests directly or indirectly tied to this research, or professional interests or personal beliefs that may influence your research.
The corresponding author will include a summary statement in the text of the manuscript in a separate section before the reference list.
See below examples of disclosures:
Funding: This work was supported by X (grant number).
Conflict of interest: Author A has received research grants from Company A. Author B has received a speaker honorarium from Company X and owns stock in Company Y. Author C is a member of committee Z.

For studies with animals, the following statement should be included:
―All applicable institutional and/or national guidelines for the care and use of animals were followed.‖
If articles do not contain studies with human participants or animals by any of the authors, it is recommended that the following sentence be included:
―This article does not contain any studies with human participants or animals performed by any of the authors.‖
For retrospective studies, please add the following sentence:
Sci China Chem 3
―For this type of study formal consent is not required.‖
Reviewing policy
Authors will receive a receipt acknowledgement letter of their manuscript. All contributions are subject to assessment by the editors and/or refereeing. To help speed the review process, authors should provide 3-8 potential reviewers, and ensure that their reviewer suggestions do not include any researchers with whom they have recent or on-going collaborations or other close ties. The decision of acceptance or rejection of a manuscript is made by the editorial board based on the referees’ reports. The entire review process may take 30 to 60 days, and the editorial office will inform the authors of the decision as soon as the process is completed.
