Before submitting to SciPost, you should familiarize yourself with the SciPost Journals Terms and Conditions.
We prefer authors to prepare their manuscript using the SciPost LaTeX template (.tex, .pdf example).
The article should contain the following elements:
The title should ideally be 120 characters or less, and be descriptive of the research reported.
Authors should be listed by initials and last name, with superscript reference to their affiliation. The corresponding author should be indicated with a superscript asterisk.
The abstract should fit within 8 lines of the template.
The bulk of the paper should be clearly divided into sections with short descriptive titles, including an introduction and a conclusion.
Figures should only occupy the stricly necessary space, in any case individually fitting on a single page. Each figure item should be appropriately labeled and accompanied by a descriptive caption. SciPost does not accept creative figures or artist's impressions; on the other hand, technical drawings and scientifically accurate representations are encouraged.
Acknowledgements should follow immediately after the conclusion. Authors are required to provide funding information, including relevant agencies and grant numbers with linked author's initials.
Contributions should be succinctly described using author initials.
Supplementary material which goes beyond the paper's bulk contents can be provided in appendices, which should be labeled using capital letters.
Items in the list of references should include authors, title, journal reference and most importantly DOI link.
All equations and references should be hyperlinked to ensure ease of navigation.
There is no strict length limitation, but the authors are strongly encouraged to keep contents to the strict minimum necessary for peers to reproduce the research described in the paper.
