常见问题

What is the ACS graphical abstract size?: ACS Publications requires the TOC graphic to fit within approximately 3.25 × 1.75 inches (~82 × 44 mm) at 300 DPI for color images. This banner-style format is unique to ACS and quite different from other publishers. Always confirm dimensions with the official ACS TOC Graphics Guidelines PDF before submitting.
Does ACS require 600 DPI?: ACS requires 300 DPI for color and grayscale TOC graphics. The 1200 DPI requirement applies to black-and-white line art figures in the manuscript — not to the graphical abstract/TOC graphic itself.
Should I include text in an ACS graphical abstract?: ACS discourages lengthy text in TOC graphics. Chemical structures, reaction arrows, and molecular diagrams are preferred. Brief labels are acceptable, but the image should be largely self-explanatory. Use Helvetica or a similar sans-serif at minimum 6pt.
