Guide for Authors

Science

Bulletin (Sci. Bull.) is a multidisciplinary academic journal

supervised by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and co-sponsored by

the CAS and the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC).

Sci. Bull. is a semi-monthly international journal publishing

high-caliber peer-reviewed research in a broad range of natural sciences

and high-tech fields on the basis of its originality, scientific

significance and whether it is of general interest. In addition, we are

committed to serving the scientific community with immediate,

authoritative news and valuable insights into upcoming trends around the

globe.

Types of paper

Articles:

Originally report substantial advances regarding an important

scientific problem. Articles normally include a 250-word abstract, 4–6

keywords, up to 6 figures or tables and 60 references. Other supporting

information should usually be included in Supplementary materials that

will only be published online. Articles are suggested to be limited to

10 print pages, including references, captions and notes.

Reviews:

Summarize the recent progress in certain core scientific disciplines,

comment on the research status, and highlight future directions. The

author(s) should focus on one topical aspect rather than provide a

comprehensive literature survey. Review papers should closely relate to,

but not only focus on the author’s own research work. Reviews are

usually solicited by the editors, but unsolicited submissions may also

be considered. Reviews are suggested to be limited to 15 pages including

up to 100 references, a 250-word abstract, 4–6 keywords and a maximum

of 10 displayed items.

Short

Communications: Provide rapid and concise report of a novel finding

that is brief in nature but is of general interest to a broad

readership. Short Communications are expected to be less than 3 print

pages with 1–2 displayed items and less than 15 references. Abstract and

keywords are not needed. Thus, the beginning paragraphs should present

concise yet sufficient background information that would allow the

readers to appreciate the rationale of the work, and put the study in a

proper perspective. Any other supporting information (if necessary)

should be submitted as Supplementary materials.

Perspectives:

Provide fresh insights into new advances in a specific research field

of science and technology, or scientific policy and other issues related

to the scientific community. Authors should not primarily discuss their

own work. While being a snapshot of an issue or a problem, perspectives

are expected to propose a solution in detail. Perspectives should be

less than 3000 words with a maximum of 15 references and 1–2 displayed

items.

Research

Highlights: Highlight and explain potential scientific significance of a

most recent piece of exciting research. Research Highlights should be

limited to 2000 words with 1 displayed item and 15 references.

News

& Views: Introduce or comment on recent scientific advances or

issues that have major influence on science or the scientific community.

News & Views are generally solicited and expected to have no more

than 2000 words with 1 displayed item and 15 references.

Commentaries:

Comment on a recent scientific publication, a general scientific issue,

or a policy of broad interest. While being a snapshot of an issue or a

problem, commentaries are expected to propose a solution in detail.

Commentaries are usually limited to 1 page (~1000 words) with less than

10 references.

Correspondences:

Remark on a recent publication in Sci. Bull. Correspondences are

generally within 1 page (~1000 words) with less than 10 references.

Please ensure that you select the appropriate article type from the list of options when making your submission.

Manuscript submission

Manuscripts

should be submitted via online submission at

https://mc03.manuscriptcentral.com/csb. If you have problems with the

online submission, please contact Sci. Bull. Editorial Office by email

at csb@scichina.org or by phone at 86-10-64036120. Please make sure you

have prepared all the required manuscript information listed as follows

before starting submission.

Review policy and procedures

Sci.

Bull. adopts a rigorous peer-review procedure. All submissions are

initially evaluated carefully by the scientific editors and executive

editors who have a broader perspective and wider context. Manuscripts

that fall outside the journal’s scope and those that are not deemed by

the editors to be strong candidates for publication will be returned to

the authors before peer-review, typically within 3–5 working days. The

manuscripts passing the initial review will be assigned to associate

editors, and then sent to qualified peer reviewers. The editors will

make every effort to reach decisions on these papers within 4 weeks from

the submission date.

Sci.

Bull. invites an editorial board consisting of more than 100 top

scientists throughout the world to ensure the editorial decisions made

are independent, unbiased and professional. Being a multidisciplinary

scientific journal, the editorial criteria can be made uniform across

disciplines.

Please

note that Sci. Bull. offers Fast-Track review and publication for

papers that require rapid assessment. The main selection criterion for a

Fast-Track paper is its scientific merit.
