We do not automatically include page or line numbers in the materials sent to Editorial Board Members and reviewers.

Please also do not include keywords, as these are not published in Scientific Reports articles. Please note, footnotes should not be used. Figure legends (these are limited to 350 words per figure).Additional Information (including a Competing Interests Statement).Data availability statement (mandatory).Author contributions (names must be given as initials).References (limited to 60 references, though not strictly enforced).You should then follow the main body of text with: However, the following structure will be suitable in many cases: You can organise it in a way that best suits your research. Please familiarize yourself with this content and comply with relevant policies.įor the main body of the text, there are no specific requirements. In response to emerging information, advice, guidance and policy around artificial intelligence (AI), we have created a dedicated AI section in our Editorial Policy page. Use of an LLM should be properly documented in the Methods section (and if a Methods section is not available, in a suitable alternative part) of the manuscript. Notably an attribution of authorship carries with it accountability for the work, which cannot be effectively applied to LLMs. Large Language Models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT, do not currently satisfy our authorship criteria. Some overlap with the Abstract is acceptable.

We recommend that each section includes an introduction of referenced text that expands on the background of the work. Your manuscript text file should start with a title page that shows author affiliations and contact information, identifying the corresponding author with an asterisk. should not contain sections or subheadings. Make sure it serves both as a general introduction to the topic and as a brief, non-technical summary of the main results and their implications. Please do not include any references in your Abstract. The abstract should be no more than 200 wordsįor a definitive list of which limits are mandatory please visit the submission checklist page.The title should be no more than 20 words, should describe the main message of the article using a single scientifically accurate sentence, and should not contain puns or idioms.The main text should be no more than 4,500 words (not including Abstract, Methods, References and figure legends).Articles should ideally be no more than 11 typeset pages.However, we strongly recommend that you write concisely and stick to the following guidelines: In most cases, we do not impose strict limits on word count or page number. Scientific Reports publishes original research in two formats: Article and Registered Report. For Registered Reports, see section below. Characterisation of chemical and biomolecular materials.Chemical and biological nomenclature and abbreviations.

Consent to participate/Consent to publish.I would like to keep auto-complete on for non-escaped brackets, but if turning it of is the easiest way to deal with this, I guess I can live with it… although I’m not sure of all of the ramifications of doing that. I’d like for ST2 to either ignore the left bracket (maybe it could recognize the escape sequence?), or, even better, auto-complete it with a two-character sequence, “)”, or “]”, as appropriate.Ī snippet would work, but that would require disabling auto-complete for brackets since the snippet fires after the auto-complete places the extra bracket at the end (which you can’t tab past to escape the snippet scope, since it isn’t in the snippet). When I’m in a LaTeX document, and I open math mode with “(”, the auto-complete gives me a “)”. I searched around a bit for this, and it seems like there should be a way to fix this pretty easily, but I can’t quite figure it out.
