These guidelines are relevant to all of our journals. Make sure that you check your chosen journal’s web pages for specific guidelines too.
You can include ESI with your article to enhance and increase the impact of your work, for example by including 3D molecular models and movies. Authors can also improve the readability of their articles by placing appropriate material in the ESI, such as repetitive experimental details. All information published as ESI is fully archived and permanently linked to the article using CrossMark.
When preparing your ESI data files, you should keep in mind the following points:
Where deposition in a subject-specific, institutional or general repository is not possible, we encourage the submission of supporting information for compounds and spectra. For compounds, please supply mol files (exported from your chemical drawing package) as unique compounds, without R-groups or variable attachments. Spectral data such as NMR, IR, Raman, ESR should be supplied in the standard JCAMP-DX format (.jdx files).
We offer a service that enables the 3D visualisation of complex molecules. You can use the FirstGlance in Jmol tool to prepare these.
We welcome the use of multimedia files (including videos and animations) as these can be an excellent medium to present elements of your work. Any videos of general interest can also be shared with the wider community through social media – an effective way to attract new audience groups to your work.
Video abstracts offer an exciting opportunity to highlight the importance of a paper to the reader in a new and engaging way. Please notify the editorial team if you prefer for your video(s) not to be promoted in this way.
If you submit a multimedia file alongside your paper, please refer to it within your paper to draw it to the reader’s attention. Please also provide a short descriptive title for the video.
