ACS Omega is adding the "Viewpoint" manuscript type on October 28.
A Viewpoint provides general commentaries, tutorials, or educational insight into a research problem of interest to ACS Omega’s broad readership. They may express critical scientific analysis or personal views on exciting topics to encourage dialogue within the community. Viewpoints are not intended to be reviews of the literature and must not include new scientific data. Viewpoints must contain a Table of Contents graphic and an abstract, which should be a 2-5 sentence summary. Viewpoints’ suggested limits are 2,000 words and no more than 2 figures, with no restriction on the number of references.
As Viewpoints are invited, they will be editorially reviewed by at least two ACS Omega editors, and select articles will be sent out for peer review for final assessment at editorial discretion.
We welcome your ideas and invite your submissions to this new manuscript type - no APC payment is required for accepted Viewpoints.
