Submission Instructions

ChemMedChem accepts the following article types. Click on an article type to view submission instructions.

Research Articles

Cover Letter A short cover letter is required. The cover letter must outline the relevance and importance of the work and confirm that every author has been informed about the submission and agreed to the submitted version.
Abstract An abstract is required. The abstract must be no more than 200 words. The abstract structure is not specified.
Manuscript Research Articles are typically 2500–5600 words in total. Research Articles must include Introduction, Results and Discussion, Conclusion, Acknowledgements, and a concise Experimental Section and/or Computational Methods. The manuscript must include 5–7 keywords with 2–3 taken from the Keyword Catalogue list, a conflict of interest statement, a graphical abstract consisting of 50–60 words plus an accompanying graphic, and transparent disclosure of any AI-generated content tool use in the Methods or Acknowledgements section.
References References must be cited as numbered inline square-bracket citations in the order of citation, with each reference number corresponding to only one literature citation.
Figures & Tables Research Articles typically include 3–8 display items. Figures, schemes, tables, and their captions must be embedded in the manuscript at the appropriate positions in the text rather than placed at the end. If a figure or scheme contains multiple panels they must be combined into a single embedded image, and each table must be created using Word table tools rather than as a graphic.
