The same holds for the title in the Supporting Information.  \nAbstract  \n Limit your abstract to 150 words or fewer.  \n Avoid reference citations in the abstract.  \n Define any abbreviations and acronyms upon first usage.  \n Label the abstract.  \nTable of Contents Graphic  \n Provide a 3.25 in. x 1.75 in (approx. 8.25 cm x 4.45 cm)“Table of Contents”(TOC) graphic after the abstract under the header “TOC Graphic.” Use an illustration that best describes your overall work rather than reusing a figure from the manuscript.  \nMain Text  \n Do not use section headings.  \nReferences  \n Number references individually, with only one citation per reference.  \n Include title in each reference.  \nGraphics and Tables  \n Caption all figures and tables. Describe figure insets, if any, in the caption.  \n Label all axes and clearly identify the variable and unit.  \n Include titles for tables and schemes. Tables and schemes may contain footnotes.  \n Provide figures and tables at final published size.  \n Make sure that lettering and scale bar dimensions are legible.  \nSupporting Information  \n Upload any Supporting Information (SI) for Publication and SI for Review Only files as separate files.  \n Include a Supporting Information paragraph immediately after the Acknowledgments using the following format:  \n Supporting Information Available:  \nMath style  \nAuthors including math, display or in-text, in their manuscripts are encouraged to consult the ACS  Guidelines for Presenting Mathematical Information. This style sheet provides brief guidelines for the presentation of mathematical formulas complete with examples of ACS style and layout to indicate how math will appear when published.  \nScope of the Journal  \nThe Journal of Physical Chemistry (JPC) Letters is devoted to reporting new and original experimental and theoretical basic research of interest to physical chemists, biophysical chemists, chemical physicists, physicists, material scientists, and engineers. Manuscripts that are essentially reporting data, applications of data, performance evaluations of devices, or reviews of the literature are, in general, not suitable for publication in JPC Letters. An important criterion for acceptance is that the paper reports a significant scientific advance and/or physical insight such that rapid publication is essential.  \nJPC Letters publishes work across all areas while maintaining the highest quality. The journal editors strive to publish high-impact work that meets a strict standard of urgency.  \nSubject Categories  \n1. Physical Insights into Quantum Phenomena and Function  \n2. Physical Insights into Materials and Molecular Properties  \n3. Physical Insights into Light Interacting with Matter  \n4. Physical Insights into the Biosphere, Atmosphere, and Space  \n5. Physical Insights into Chemistry, Catalysis, and Interfaces  \n6. Physical Insights into Energy Science  \nGuidelines for Theory Papers  \nTo be appropriate for publication in JPC Letters, theory papers must satisfy at least one of the follow","cbCaimOT1Rm9PBXR","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimOT1Rm9PBXR","pdf",109223,22,"English","# Manuscript Submission Requirements Checklist\n## Cover Letter and Authorship Details\n## Title and Abstract Requirements\n## Table of Contents (TOC) Graphic\n## Main Text, References, and Supporting Information\n## Graphics, Tables, and Supporting Information Files\n## Journal Scope and Acceptance Criteria\n## Subject Categories and Theory Paper Guidelines\n## Manuscript Types: Letters, Perspectives, Viewpoints","[{\"question\":\"What information must be included for coauthors and reviewers when submitting a manuscript?\",\"answer\":\"List all coauthors with correct, valid email addresses.
