Our broad scope, drawing from the work of scientists, engineers and researchers in industry and academia, ensures that published work reaches the widest possible audience. All editorial decisions are made by a team of full-time professional editors. Aims & Scope Nature Catalysis brings together researchers from across all chemistry and related fields, publishing work on homogeneous catalysis, heterogeneous catalysis, and biocatalysts, incorporating both fundamental and applied studies. We have a particular interest in applied work that advances our knowledge and informs the development of sustainable industries and processes. Nature Catalysis provides coverage of the science and business of catalysis research, creating a unique journal for scientists, engineers and researchers in academia and industry.  Like all Nature-branded journals, Nature Catalysis is characterized by a dedicated team of professional editors, a fair and rigorous peer-review process, high standards of copy-editing and production, swift publication, and editorial independence.  Topics covered in the journal Nature Catalysis publishes work across the fields of heterogeneous catalysis, homogeneous catalysis and biocatalysis including: Catalytic synthesis Catalytic mechanisms Catalyst characterization and monitoring Computational and theoretical catalysis Nanoparticle catalysis Electrocatalysis Photocatalysis Environmental catalysis Asymmetric catalysis Organometallic catalysis Organocatalysis Enzymatic and chemoenzymatic catalysis Content Types Article Nature Catalysis publishes primary research in one format, Articles, which can range in length from short communications to longer, more in-depth reports. Regardless of length, an Article should report an important research study of high quality and general interest to the broad catalysis community. The main text (excluding abstract, Methods section, references and figure legends) is typically limited to 3,500 words. Articles can have up to 8 display items (figures and/or tables) and as a guideline up to around 50 references (excluding those cited exclusively in Methods). The maximum title length is 150 characters (including spaces). Articles have an unreferenced abstract of approximately 150 words. The abstract should contain a brief account of the background and rationale of the work, followed by a statement of the main conclusions, and their implications, introduced  by the phrase 'Here we show' or some equivalent. The main text of an Article should begin with an introduction (without heading) of referenced text that expands on the background of the work (some overlap with the abstract is acceptable), and is followed by a concise, focused account of the findings, typically ending with one or two short paragraphs of discussion. The main text should be divided by a few short topical headings of no more than 60 characters (including spaces). Articles can also contain a Methods section, which should appear after the main text and should typically not exceed 3,000 words.  Articles include received/accepted dates and may be accompanied by supplementary information. Articles are peer reviewed.  Review A Review is an authoritative, balanced survey of recent developments in a research field. Although Reviews should be recognized as scholarly by specialists in the field, they should be written with a view to informing non-specialist readers. Thus, Reviews should be presented using simple prose, avoiding excessive jargon and technical detail. The scope of a Review should be broad enough that it is not dominated by the work of a single research institution, and particularly not by the authors' own work.  Reviews should typically be no more than 5,000 words long and include no more than 8 display items (figures, tables or boxes). Citations in Reviews should be selective and as a guideline there should usually be no more than 100 references. Footnotes are not used.  Reviews include received/accepted dates. Reviews are always peer-reviewed to ensure factual accuracy, appropriate citations and scholarly balance, and are edited by the journal editors in consultation with the authors.  Reviews are usually commissioned by the editors, so it is advisable to send a pre-submission enquiry including a synopsis before preparing a manuscript for formal submission.  Perspective A Perspective is intended to provide a forum for authors to discuss results and ideas from a personal viewpoint. They are more forward-looking and/or speculative than Reviews and may take a narrower field of view. They may be opinionated but should remain balanced and are intended to stimulated discussion and new approaches.  Perspectives should typically be no more than 4,000 words long and include no more than 4 display items (figures, tables or boxes). Citations in Perspectives should be selective and as a guideline there should usually be no more than 50 references. Footnotes are not used. Perspectives include received/accepted dates. Perspectives are always peer-reviewed, and are edited by the journal editors in consultation with the authors.  Perspectives are usually commissioned by the editors, so it is advisable to send a pre-submission enquiry including a synopsis before preparing a manuscript for formal submission. Comment Comment articles can focus on commercial, ethical, legal, societal or political issues surrounding catalysis research, as well as purely scientific and engineering issues. This is an 'opinion' section of the journal, and Comment articles should be of immediate interest to a broad readership and should be written in an accessible, non-technical style.  Comments are typically no longer than 2,000 words and as a guideline include up to 25 references. Article titles are omitted from the reference list. Figures and diagrams are encouraged, but are not a requirement.  Comments may be peer-reviewed at the editors' discretion, and are edited by the journal editors in consultation with the authors.  Comment articles are usually commissioned by the editors, but proposals are welcome. Correspondence The Correspondence section provides a forum for comment on papers or discussion of issues relevant to the journal’s community. A Correspondence should not exceed more than one printed page and is typically 250–500 words; it is limited to one display item and, as guideline, Correspondence allows up to 10 references. Article titles are omitted from the reference list. Titles for Correspondences are supplied by the editors. Correspondence may be peer-reviewed at the editors’ discretion. Note that Correspondence pieces are not technical comments on peer-reviewed research papers which would be considered Matters Arising. Matters Arising Matters Arising are exceptionally interesting and timely scientific comments and clarifications on original research papers published in Nature Catalysis. These comments should ideally be based on knowledge contemporaneous with the original paper, rather than subsequent scientific developments. For detailed information on how to submit a Matters Arising, please follow instructions here. News & Views News & Views articles inform readers about the latest advances in catalysis research, as reported in recently published papers (in Nature Catalysis or elsewhere) or at scientific meetings. Unsolicited contributions will not normally be considered, although prospective authors are welcome to make proposals. News & Views are not peer-reviewed, but undergo editing in consultation with the author. Books & Arts The Books & Arts section comprises timely reviews of books and other cultural and pedagogical resources of interest to the catalysis community. The pieces are limited to one page. They are usually commissioned, though unsolicited contriubutions will be considered. Features and News Features These sections are written or commissioned by the journal editors. They do not contain unsolicited material. We are, however, keen to accept freelance pitches of exclusive stories, particularly conference coverage from locations where we do not have staff, or reports from interesting field work.  All of our features are written with a lively, proactive tone, using language that is clear even to readers for whom English is not their native tongue. Stories should be accessible to those with a general interest and background in science or engineering. For details on how to pitch to Nature Catalysis, contact catalysis@nature.com. Instructions to Authors Guide to Authors The editorial process For a detailed description of the editorial process used by Nature Catalysis please see Editorial process.  Initial submission For details about the initial submission process please see Initial submission. All submissions should be made via our online submission system. For a description of the types of contributions that may be submitted to the journal, along with their length and figure limits, please see Content types. Peer review We offer both traditional single-blind and double-blind peer review. Double-blind peer review allows authors to remain anonymous to referees. If you want to participate in double-blind peer review, prepare your manuscript in a way that conceals the identities of all the authors and tick the appropriate box during online submission. We recommend that authors refer to our double-blind peer review guidelines when preparing a double-blind peer review manuscript. Note that editors do not ensure that the paper is properly anonymized; that is the authors' responsibility. For further details about the peer review process and information for referees please see For referees. Post-review A priority of Nature Catalysis is that all papers be accessible to non-specialists. Manuscripts are subject to substantial editing to achieve this goal. The editor may perform or request substantial editing before acceptance. Likewise, after acceptance a copy editor will make further changes so that the text and figures are readable and clear to those outside the field, and so that papers conform to our style. Contributors are welcome to discuss proposed changes with the editors and are sent proofs before publication, but Nature Catalysis reserves the right to make the final decision about matters of style and the size of figures.  The editors also reserve the right to reject a paper even after it has been accepted if it becomes apparent that there are serious problems with the scientific content or with violations of our publishing policies.  Editorial and publishing policies Please see authors & referees for detailed information about author and referee services and publication policies at the Nature family of journals. These journals, including Nature Catalysis, share a number of common policies including the following: Author responsibilities Licence agreement and author copyright Compliance with open access mandates Embargo policy and press releases Use of experimental animals and human subjects Competing financial interests Availability of materials and data Reporting requirements for life science articles Digital image integrity and standards Security concerns Refutations, complaints and corrections Duplicate publications Confidentiality and pre-publicity Plagiarism and fabrication Covers and other artwork Authors of accepted papers are encouraged to submit images for consideration as a cover image. Cover images are normally linked to a specific paper in that issue, but we may also be able to use other images elsewhere in the journal, such as for the hero image (top of page) on the journal website or on the table of contents. Images are selected for their scientific interest and aesthetic appeal. Please send electronic files along with a clear and concise legend explaining the image.
