What do chemistry journals require?
Chemistry papers often include extensive supporting information (SI) containing spectra, crystallographic data, additional experiments, and raw data. Most chemistry journals (ACS, RSC, Wiley Chemistry) require SI to be properly organized and referenced from the main text. Crystallographic data must be deposited with the CCDC and a deposition number included. Compound characterization data (NMR, MS, IR, elemental analysis) must meet minimum reporting standards. IUPAC nomenclature is expected.
Chemistry compliance checks
Supporting information completeness and cross-referencing
Check that supporting information sections are referenced from the main text and contain all required data types.
Crystallographic data deposition number check
Verify that CCDC deposition numbers are included for all crystal structures reported in the manuscript.
Compound characterization data completeness
Flag compounds that lack required characterization data such as NMR, MS, IR, or elemental analysis results.
IUPAC nomenclature validation
Check that compound names follow IUPAC conventions as expected by major chemistry journals.
Hazard and safety statement check
Verify that hazard statements are present for synthesized compounds where required by ACS or RSC guidelines.

The practical edge your peers already use
Across disciplines and career stages, researchers reduce bottlenecks and submit with confidence: clearer drafts, easier guideline compliance, and less back and forth with co‑authors and reviewers.
I use it to review my students' papers. It instantly highlights typos, missing references, and unclear sections, helping me focus my feedback on the quality of the research instead of surface errors.
Ilyass
Professor in Mechanical Engineering, ÉTS Montréal
I relied on it throughout my thesis to strengthen my writing. It suggested clearer phrasing, improved flow between sections, and ensured my references were complete before the final deadline.
Manon
Master's Student in Speech Therapy
I write research in both Portuguese and English, and it adapts perfectly to either language. It provided precise feedback in Portuguese, helping me maintain academic tone and consistency across my drafts.
Afonso
PhD Candidate, UFPE
It gave excellent advice on how to rephrase and present ideas more clearly and concisely. The suggestions helped me refine my arguments and make my research more impactful.
Félix
Postdoc Researcher, Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology
A round of suggestions helped to generally refine the text of my paper and, moreover, to present some of its key points in a more focused form.

Frequently asked questions
Supporting information for chemistry papers typically includes NMR spectra, mass spectra, crystallographic data, additional experimental details, and raw analytical data. Each SI section should be cross-referenced from the corresponding location in the main text.
Yes. ACS, RSC, and Wiley chemistry journals require that crystallographic data for all new crystal structures be deposited with the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC) before submission. The CCDC deposition number must be included in the manuscript.
Most chemistry journals require at minimum: 1H NMR and 13C NMR data, high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS), and melting point for solid compounds. Some journals additionally require elemental analysis or IR spectroscopy. Check your target journal's specific requirements.
ACS journals use a numbered citation style. References are cited as superscript numbers in the text and listed numerically in the reference section. Author names use initials followed by last name, and journal names use standard ACS abbreviations.
