Articles may be entirely theoretical with regard to sensing, or they may report experimental results.  \nTip 3: Read & Follow the Guidelines   \n[https://pubs.acs.org/page/ascefj/about.html](https://pubs.acs.org/page/ascefj/about.html)  \n• Review Ready Submission: ACS journals have simplified their formatting requirements in favor of a streamlined and standardized review-ready format for an initial manuscript submission  \n• Scope: new and original knowledge on all aspects of sensor science that selectively sense chemical or biological species or processes  \n• Analytical data: All analytical data should include uncertainties, comparisons to a standard analytical method, and demonstration of the sensor’s performance in the complex samples for which the device is intended to be used  \n• Cover letter: must include a clear statement of the objective of the study and justification of publication in ACS Sensors; further it should contain the full manuscript title, the name and complete contact information of the corresponding author, the name(s) of any other author(s), a description of any Supporting Information for Publication and/or for Review Only Material, 4 individuals competent to review the manuscript","cbCaiteoVCuCj07X","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiteoVCuCj07X","pdf",1738715,24,"English","# What makes an effective article\n## Editorial perspective and journal scope\n## 10 tips for scholarly publishing\n### Tip 1: Create a useful outline\n### Tip 2: Choose the journal carefully\n### Tip 3: Read and follow the guidelines","[{\"question\":\"How should an outline be created for an effective scholarly article?\",\"answer\":\"Gather relevant data, ask WHY/WHAT/HOW questions, organize information by importance rather than chronology, consider figure types and placement, and review the outline early rather than waiting until the project’s end.\"},{\"question\":\"What criteria should be used to choose the right journal?\",\"answer\":\"Match the journal’s scope and readership, ensuring the topic fits the journal’s focus and that the manuscript aligns with how the journal disseminates new and original knowledge.\"},{\"question\":\"What must be included when following ACS submission guidelines for analytical data and cover letters?\",\"answer\":\"Analytical data should include uncertainties, comparisons to a standard analytical method, and evidence of sensor performance in the complex samples the device is intended to handle.
