Dr. William B. Tolman
Bill Tolman is a Distinguished McKnight University
Professor and Chair of the Department of Chemistry at
the University of Minnesota, Twin-Cities.
He was Associate Editor (2007-2012) and is now (2013-
present) Editor-in-Chief of the ACS journal Inorganic
Chemistry.
Current research in his group encompasses synthetic
bioinorganic and organometallic/polymer chemistry.

Esther Ober
Esther Ober is the Journals Editing Manager at the
American Chemical Society. She is responsible for the
technical editing and publication for 13 of the 40+ ACS
journals and the production and publication for the ACS
Books Symposium Series.

Have you submitted a manuscript to a
scientific journal?
• Yes, and it was accepted.
• Yes, but it was rejected.
• Yes, I have been both accepted/rejected
in the past.
• No, I have never submitted.
Copyright (c) 2014 American Chemical Society 15
Audience Question
16 Copyright (c) 2014 American Chemical Society
The Review Process
1. Author submits via ParagonPlus.
2. Manuscript checked by staff (author emails,
appropriate files included, etc.).
3. Editor-in-Chief assigns handling editor or rejects
with editorial review (without external reviews).
4. Handling editor chooses reviewers and asks for
reviews.
5. Reviews in hand, handling editor makes
decision, and informs corresponding author.
17 Copyright (c) 2014 American Chemical Society
Tip #1: DO GOOD SCIENCE
Do work of highest technical quality
Address significant problem(s)
Do work that is truly novel
Adhere to highest ethical standards in
performing and reporting the research
18 Copyright (c) 2014 American Chemical Society
Tip #2: CHOOSE A JOURNAL CAREFULLY
Top criteria: suitable audience for work
Proper scope
Journal excellence (manuscript handling,
publication quality, reviewer process,
reputation in field, etc.)
Bottom criteria (last!): impact factor
19 Copyright (c) 2014 American Chemical Society
Tip #3: READ AND FOLLOW AUTHOR
GUIDELINES
Every ACS journal has author guidelines that are
specific to that journal (and they often differ!)
For best results: follow the guidelines EXACTLY
Author information and guidelines available on
the web. . . .

22 Copyright (c) 2014 American Chemical Society
Tip #4: TELL A STORY
Important to have a main theme and a punchline
Avoid “data dumping”
Introduction should address: What’s the
problem/question? Why is it important? How
have others addressed it? What is your approach
to addressing it? What is significant/novel about
what you have done?
Conclusion: concise statement summarizing key
findings/results and their significance.
23 Copyright (c) 2014 American Chemical Society
Tip #5: WRITE IT WELL
English language assistance:
Practice! Speak with native english speakers. Read
english language publications for style as well as
content. Listen to recordings of scientific talks.
Send draft to native english speaker/writer
colleague
Use Language Editing Service

If someone helped to translate your article
to English, should you list him or her as an
author?
• Yes
• No

Tip #6: DRAW FIGURES WITH CARE
Schemes and Figures matter (A LOT)
Ensure consistent style, proper line widths &
fonts (arial family best), axis labels, appropriate
size. Modify software default settings!

Tip #7: FOLLOW ETHICS GUIDELINES

Tip #7: FOLLOW ETHICS GUIDELINES
-Ethical Guidelines to Publication of Chemical Research
Plagiarism is not acceptable in ACS journals. ACS journals adhere to the
U.S. National Science Foundation definition of plagiarism as “the
appropriation of another person’s ideas, processes, results, or words
without giving appropriate credit” (45 Code of Federal Regulations, Section
689.1). Authors should not engage in plagiarism - verbatim or near-
verbatim copying, or very close paraphrasing, of text or results from
another’s work. Authors should not engage in self-plagiarism (also known
as duplicate publication) - unacceptably close replication of the author’s
own previously published text or results without acknowledgement of the
source. ACS applies a “reasonable person” standard when deciding
whether a submission constitutes self-plagiarism/duplicate publication. If
one or two identical sentences previously published by an author appear in
a subsequent work by the same author, this is unlikely to be regarded as
duplicate publication. Material quoted verbatim from the author’s previously
published work must be placed in quotation marks. In contrast, it is
unacceptable for an author to include significant verbatim or near-verbatim
portions of his/her own work, or to depict his/her previously published
results or methodology as new, without acknowledging the source.

Audience Question
Is it plagiarism if you use the same
experimental method as one of your
previously published papers, and just copy
the methods section?
• Yes
• No

Tip #8: SUBMIT CAREFULLY
Make sure correct files are uploaded
Carefully input all author email addresses and
contact information
Check to make sure edits/comments do not appear
Write cover letter carefully; provide brief reason
why work is novel/significant and will appeal to
journal readership
Recommend reviewers carefully; provide reason(s)
if asking for certain people to not be chosen as
reviewers
32 Copyright (c) 2014 American Chemical Society
Tip #9: RESPOND TO DECISION
APPROPRIATELY
Hesitate before hitting “send” on an email
Write carefully; provide detailed point-by-point
responses to all reviewer comments
Editors decisions may be appealed; carefully
reasoned argument necessary!
33 Copyright (c) 2014 American Chemical Society
Tip #10: CORRECT GALLEYS
CAREFULLY AND QUICKLY
Gather input from ALL authors before responding
with corrections.
Address all author queries included with the galley.
Avoid rewriting/rephrasing: alterations should be
restricted to serious changes in interpretation or
corrections of data.
Extensive/important changes are subject to
Editorial review.

The Technical Editing Process
1. Accepted paper is forwarded to Production
office.
2. File and graphics are prepared for the editing
process.
3. File is edited for grammar, punctuation, spelling,
and overall consistency and readability.
4. All technical editors have a chemistry degree or
a degree in a related field.
5. Author queries are added during the editing
process as needed.
