Materials Horizons Communications must now include a separate paragraph (no more than 200 words) concisely demonstrating the new insights of the work. This text should highlight conceptual advances and not be a summary of the work reported, as in the article abstract. The text should be easy to read and accessible to the broad readership of the journal.
For more information, Materials Horizons article guidelines can be found here.
When will I see a change?
This change has taken affect from now and is applicable for all new Communication article submissions. Communication articles currently under review or accepted and going through production are not subject to these new guidelines. This new ‘Conceptual insights’ box will appear on the first page of Communication articles.
