Scope
The AATCC Journal of Research is a scholarly, peer reviewed, online scientific journal of textiles and materials research. This includes original articles and review articles relating to the chemical and biochemical sciences; the fundamentals, applications, and management of materials; engineering; and the design and merchandising of fibrous materials of interest to the global textile community. The journal’s aim is to advance and disseminate knowledge in all areas pertinent to textile research including dyeing and coloration, quality testing, color communication, polymers, fibers, fabrics and their design, nanotechnology, processing and merchandising, sustainability, and waste treatment.

- Graphics should have a resolution of at least 300 dpi.
- Printed photographs are acceptable if they are scanable and at least 3.5 x 5 in (8.9 x 12.7 cm).
- Figures should be labeled and referred to using Arabic numerals (e.g., Fig. 1 and Fig. 2).
- Tables must be submitted in spreadsheet or table format—no spaces, no tabs.
- Tables should be labeled and referred to using Roman numerals (e.g., Table I, Table II, etc.)
References
 References MUST BE FORMATTED according to The ACS Style Guide format, or the manuscript may be returned to author for reformatting.
If The ACS Style Guide is unavailable at your institution, you can access a free version of it by registering on ACS ChemWorx. Ensure that ACS Style Guide is checked off in the Customize Display and go to the ACS Style Guide module. In Chapter 14 (References), refer to Table 14-2. Common Types of References with Examples on page 292.
Other online, app, or software reference managers that can be used to help with ACS style reference formatting are EndNote (free trial, http://endnote.com/), Biblioscape (http://www.biblioscape.com/), Mendeley (https://www.mendeley.com/), and RefME (free, use “American Chemical Society” format, https://www.refme.com/us/styles/acs-citation-generator/).
Note: Do not use the Citation Styles in ACS ChemWorx (or References -> Citations & Bibliography in Microsoft Word) to link text citations to references in manuscripts submitted to the AATCC Journal of Research.
- Do number references consecutively with superscript Arabic numerals in the proper location in the text.
- Do not use (author(s), date) format for reference citations in the text.
- If a reference is used more than once, the original reference number should be used unless a new chapter is referenced.
- References should be listed at the end of the manuscript, in ACS Style Guide format.
- If a textile-related journal is cited, the full name of the publication should be written out (Exception: Textile Research Journal can be abbreviated Text. Res. J.) For other science journals, the Chemical Abstracts Service Source Index (CASSI) journal name abbreviations can be used. The ACS Style Guide contains 1000 of the most common CASSI abbreviations.
- References should list beginning and ending page numbers of the cited article or chapter.
- Do ensure that all references conform to these style guidelines and that the numbered citations in the text are in numerical order and match the numbers of the correct references listed in the reference section of the manuscript.
- Do not list references alphabetically by leading author. Use our reference guidelines (see previous bullet point) and reference examples below.

Manuscript Acceptance
If a manuscript is accepted for publication in the AATCC Journal of Research, it will be subject to editing by a member of the AATCC editorial staff. Once the manuscript is edited and ready for publication, the corresponding author shall be furnished with a galley copy of the manuscript to proofread and approve prior to publication in the AATCC Journal of Research.
Manuscript Rejection
If a manuscript does not meet current AATCC Journal of Research requirements, it shall be returned to the author(s) along with a letter or email notifying them of the rejection. Thereafter, the author is free to submit the manuscript to another publication. Appeals to the EIC to reconsider rejected manuscripts can be made within 30 days after a rejection notification. The EIC may rule to accept the paper for publication or to uphold the rejection. The EIC’s ruling is final.
For authors whose native language is not English, it may be helpful to get writing assistance before submitting a paper. Contact a local university for resources. You may also work with American Journal Experts (AJE). Authors who contact AJE through the link on this page receive a $20 discount off the regular editing fees. Please note that working with AJE or another language service does not guarantee acceptance of your paper for publication. Language editing simplifies the job of the reviewer and helps avoid confusion about your research.
