# ACS Nano (acs-nano)

## Journal positioning

ACS Nano is the American Chemical Society's flagship journal for nanoscience and nanotechnology, publishing research on structures, phenomena, and applications at the 1–100 nm scale across chemistry, physics, materials science, and biology. The journal serves a broad interdisciplinary nanoscience readership and expects every paper to demonstrate both rigorous nanoscale characterization and significance that extends beyond a narrow sub-community. Incremental nanoparticle synthesis papers that merely report a new variant without conceptual or application advance are actively desk-rejected. This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current official submission guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live author instructions on the ACS Publications site.

## When to trigger

- The author names ACS Nano as the target venue for a nanoscience or nanotechnology manuscript.
- A nano-materials or nano-device paper has broad interdisciplinary significance and the author is choosing between ACS Nano, Nature Nanotechnology, and Nano Letters.
- A manuscript requires re-framing from a materials/chemistry specialty perspective into a nanoscience-breadth narrative.
- The author needs ACS Nano's specific desk-reject heuristics and credible alternative-venue guidance.
