If other authors’ material is used - either text or graphics - permission must be sought by the author from the publisher of the original source and must be made clear in the manuscript. </p> <p>Reviews and Tutorial Reviews should focus on key developments in a field, with the author providing their own analysis and insight throughout on developments, trends and future directions. Articles which simply summarise research in the topic with minimal or no analysis or insight from the author are not suitable for publication in <em>Chem Soc Rev</em>. To achieve this goal we respectfully ask authors of Reviews and Tutorial Reviews to use new graphics where possible (by redrawing schemes for example) and to aim for no more than 20% of graphics in their article to be reused from previously published work. We understand that in some cases it is necessary to include more previously published graphics (for example, where graphs or microscope images are shown). In these cases we ask authors to provide a very brief justification on submission.</p> <p>Authors may supply videos, PowerPoint slides, soundbites, pictures and other additional material as electronic supplementary information (ESI) to complement and enhance their articles. Please contact the editorial office for more details.</p> <p>Guidance on specific article types is below.</p> <a class="btn--expandable" data-expandable="" aria-controls="5722adb4-44f9-4f47-94c1-7556e5f1d7be" href="javascript:;">See more information about these article types<b class="add-icon-after-plus"></b></a> <div class="content-block__expandable inactive" id="5722adb4-44f9-4f47-94c1-7556e5f1d7be" data-status="is-expanded" aria-expanded="true"> <div><div class="block a2maintextblock "> <div class="content-block hashtaglink"> <h3>Tutorial Reviews</h3> <p>Tutorial Reviews are concise, accessible and authoritative overviews of important contemporary topics in the chemical sciences. They should appeal to advanced undergraduates, the general research chemist who is new to the field, as well as the expert. They provide a solid introduction to the development of a subject, the latest breakthrough results and their implications for the wider scientific community. Tutorial Reviews should not contain unpublished research.</p> <p>Tutorial reviews must fulfil the following criteria.</p> <h4>Accessible</h4> <p>Appeal to advanced undergraduate students and beyond. Tutorial reviews are often used in advanced undergraduate and Master’s studies.</p> <h4>Authoritative</h4> <p>Provide an essential introduction to the field which will lay the foundation of knowledge in the area, followed by the most important recent advances. Authors should include throughout the article their own insights into the development of the field and its future potential.</p> <h4>Exciting</h4> <p>In particular highlight areas where there has been a significant recent advance.</p> <h4>Concise</h4> <p>There is no strict reference limit; however please include only the most important historical and recent research, referencing the major contributions (with the “and references cited therein” addition where appropriate). Tutorial Reviews are typically up to 15 journal pages in length.</p> <h4>Jargon-free</h4> <p>Specialist terms and symbols should be defined and fundamental ideas simply explained.   </p> <p>Tutorial reviews should include a 'key learning points' box, containing up to five key learning points that a reader should expect to gain from reading the review. These should be provided on submission, either at the beginning of the review or as a separate document.</p> <h3>Reviews</h3> <p>Reviews provide an authoritative and in-depth understanding of important topics in the chemical sciences. They give a very high-quality state-of-the-art account of the subject matter and a balanced assessment of the current primary literature. The implications of recent developments for the wider scientific community are emphasised and authors should aim to stimulate progress in the field. <em>Chem Soc Rev </em>Reviews should not contain original, unpublished research.</p> <p>Reviews must fulfil the following criteria.</p> <h4>Accessible</h4> <p>Of general interest and enticing to the journal’s wide, community-spanning readership.</p> <h4>Appealing</h4> <p>A timely account is needed which genuinely adds to the existing literature.</p> <h4>Carefully referenced</h4> <p>References should be selected to give a balanced view of the field.</p> <h4>Jargon-free</h4> <p>Specialist terms and symbols should be defined and fundamental ideas simply explained.     </p> <h3>Viewpoints</h3> <p>Viewpoints are short, opinion-based articles where the author gives their view on a challenge, issue or key development in an important area of chemistry research.</p> <p>A Viewpoint is not intended to be a mini-review. The focus should be on the opinion of the author; however, the article should be scholarly and the arguments made should be supported by appropriate references.</p> <p>A typical Viewpoint:</p> <ul> <li>is up to four journal pages in length</li> <li>contains up to three display item</li> </ul> <p>If you are interested in submitting a Viewpoint, please contact chemsocrev-rsc@rsc.org and we will be able to provide further guidance.</p> </div> </div></div> </div> </div> </div><div class="block a2maintextblock "> <div class="content-block hashtaglink"> <hr> </div> </div><div class="block a2maintextblock "> <div class="content-block hashtaglink" id="journal-specific-guidelines"> <h2>Journal guidelines</h2> <div class="content-block hashtaglink"> <div style="color: #2c4d67; background-color: #f9f8f8; width: 100%; border-style: solid; border-color: #2c4d67; padding: 10px; border-width: 2px 2px 2px 8px;">The following guidelines are journal specific.
