Basics :下笔之前要注意基本要求
Editors of science journals want all ideas in language that is directly:
§ to-the-point
§ straightforward
§ in as few words as possible In the voice of science
§ clarity is crucial: clear, precise, accurate
简单 扼要 准确
First draft 初稿 Need not be in English Just to establish the skeleton, the bones of the
article Get all ideas down and establish the sequence of
ideas on index cards Arrange and rearrange the index cards for the
most logical order A sequence which is clean, precise, and without
repetition
Introduction 前言 Start broadly: background Narrow down: related to your project and the
specific question your aim How you have tackled the question
experimentally lead the reader into your results
Include a review of the literature: newest, most recent, high listing journals
Experimental 实验RepeatableCompleteWeight, mole, volume, ….data in
correct unit expression as the journal required
Instruments: company, model
Results & discussionStart with your findings, reverse to i

Fig. 1 A dog. The essential external anatomy of a dog is shown; the stomach is an internal organ.
A much clearer figure with proper annotation, legend and a title
Graph A type of figure that provides summary of
numerical data More direct than data in a table Useful for showing distribution of data,
highlighting trends, summarizing relationships,
Characters must be proportional.

Colour illustrations
Illustrations can be printed in colour when they are judged by the Editor to be essential to the presentation.
Some journals: no charge for the 1st page No charge for electronic version
Tips for Achieving High-Quality Published Artwork
Submit originals ; Use dark black ink on high-quality, smooth, opaque white paper; Use lettering that will be no smaller than 5 points at final
reduction. Helvetica or Arial works well for lettering; Use lines no thinner than 1 point; When possible, submit artwork that does not have to be reduced
to fit a single column in the journal (3.25 in. across); Use the best resolution available (graphics plotter, 600 or higher
dpi laser printer); Avoid textures and shadings.
TableThree-line table formatAlign to the left: for wordsAlign to the right: for numbersAlign according to the decimal poin
t: for non-intergals
例如
Common mistakes
Not referring to a figure or table in the text Referring to data in the text but not
illustrating it with a figure or table No scales or scale bars in figures Too much data in one graph or table
Safety notes
emphasize any unexpected or new hazards encountered in experimental work reported.
Perchlorate salts of metal complexes with organic ligands are potentially explosive. Authors are requested to place a cautionary note
Chemicals that have to be dealt with in a hood: fuming, poisonous, toxic,….
abstractAn extract of the essence of your
worka short statement of what was
discovered, how it was done, how it fits with other research
for a communication, 1-2 sentences
for full paper, brief account of the results Less than 100 words
Graphical Abstractpictogram and synopsis:
§a synopsis of maximum 50 words
§ a drawing or reaction scheme (pictogram) illustrating their work. The pictogram should measure 55x50 mm for direct reproduction. If reduction is needed, please make sure that the illustration is still informative upon reduction.
Keywords A maximum of six keywords should be
indicated below the abstract to describe the contents of the manuscript.
Keywords should be selected from the following classes: theoretical methods, experimental methods, phenomena, materials, and applications.
Justification for rapid publication
Usually for communicationsA description of the novelty and
explanation of the reason for rapid publication
Real New findings not reported beforeUnusual results
editing Work in team: no one writes or edits well enough to
work alone, the English language is too slippery, you need other eyes and minds to help you
Avoid repetition: 无论多重要,多复杂,多创新,只说一次! The only acceptable repetition is in the final summary
Plagiarism: NEVER copy anything from others without fully acknowledging and referencing
850 words for two-column page 4 illustrations per page
Main reasons for rejection Language; Scope too broad; Claim goes beyond the given data; Too lengthy with unnecessary details; such as:
§ introduction not to the point
§ discussion of obvious results Failed to give appropriate credit to others:
§ good references are important and essential
Things to avoid while editing
Repeated vocabularyUnnecessary explanation or description
*too much background or history
*too many details about what was done, or details about unsuccessful work
*information about research irrelevant to the topic
Avoid using terms like: “Novel” “In our laboratory” “By us” “During the research” “In this group” “Really, actually, truly,”—ambiguous intensifiers “Very” worse than highly, strongly, surprisingly “A lot, many” “Fascinating, interesting, important” etc
Editing verb tense 时态
Simple present tense: all results, as the finding is an all-time truth 事实
Present progressive tense: 尽量少用Present perfect tense: 可用,但小心Simple past tense: for experimental 常用主动多于被动
