WHERE TO SEND THE MANUSCRIPT?
Manuscripts must be sent to the following email: revista.catalisis@revistacatalisis.com.
REFEREES
The names and e-mail addresses of at least three possible reviewers nationals or internationals must be provided. Ideally, two or more suggested referees will work in different institutions from the authors. The editor reserves the exclusive right to decide whether the suggested referees will be selected.
MANUSCRIPT TEXT COMPONENTS
SOFTWARE
It is important that the file is saved in the native format of the word processor used. The text must be in single column format. Keep the text design as simple as possible. To avoid unnecessary mistakes, it is strongly recommended that you use the "spell check" and "grammar check" functions of your word processor.
All submitted manuscripts must include sections labeled: Introduction, Experimental Methodology, Results and Discussion (may be separate), Conclusions and References. Acknowledgments can be inserted as a section between Conclusions and References. Any necessary supporting documentation can be included in a supplemental section to be posted online.

TITLE
Titles should clearly and concisely reflect the emphasis and content of the paper. Avoid abbreviations and formulas where possible.
AUTHOR LIST
Clearly indicate the first and last names of each author and check that all names are spelled correctly. Show the authors' affiliation addresses (where the work was done) below the names. List all affiliations with a lowercase, superscript number immediately after the author's name and in front of the appropriate address. Provide the full address for each affiliation, including email for each author.
ABSTRACT
A concise and factual summary is required. The abstract must have a maximum length of 100 words. The abstract should briefly state the purpose of the research, the main results and conclusions. Non-standard or rare abbreviations should be avoided, but if they are essential, they should be defined at their first mention in the abstract itself.
Keywords
Immediately after abstracting, authors must provide a maximum of 6 relevant keywords. These keywords will be used for indexing purposes of the published article. Avoid abbreviations.
GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
A graphical abstract is mandatory for the journal. It should summarize the content of the article in a graphic and concise way designed to capture the attention of a wide number of online readers. Authors must provide images that clearly represent the work described in the article. The graphical abstract must be submitted as a separate file. Image size: Please provide an image with a minimum of 531 × 1328 pixels or proportionally larger. The image should be legible at a size of 5 × 13 cm with a normal screen resolution of 96 dpi.
HIGHLIGHTS
Highlights are mandatory for this journal. They consist of a short collection of bullet points that capture the principal results of your research. It should have 3-4 highlights with a maximum of 85 characters per highlight.

INTRODUCTION
State the objectives of the work and provide an adequate basis, avoiding a detailed bibliographic recount or a summary of the results.
METHODOLOGY EXPERIMENTAL/THEORETICAL
Provide enough detail to allow an independent researcher to reproduce the work.
If your methods are new, you will need to explain them in detail. If previously published, cite the original work, including any improvements or modifications. Identify the equipment and materials you used, specifying their source. Please indicate the frequency of the observations and the types of data that were recorded. Give precise measurements, indicating your strengths and weaknesses when necessary. Name any statistical test, so that its quantitative results can be judged.
If your research involved human, animal, stem cell, or other biohazard materials, you will need to include certain information in the ethics statement, such as committee approvals and permission to publish. You must also explain your criteria for selecting participants.
RESULTS
The results must be clear and concise.
DISCUSSION
This should explore the importance of work results, not a mere repetition of them. A combined Results and Discussion section is often appropriate. Avoid lengthy citations and discussion of published literature. Above all, the discussion should explain how your research has furthered the body of scientific knowledge. This is also a good place to suggest practical applications for your results and to describe what the next steps in your research will be.
CONCLUSIONS
The main conclusions of the study should be presented in a short Conclusions section. Your conclusions must be compatible and not extend beyond your results, so avoid undue speculation and bold impact judgments.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Collate acknowledgments in a separate section at the end of the article before the references
NOMENCLATURE AND UNITS

REFERENCE STYLE:
In the Text: Indicate the references by number (s) in square brackets in line with the text. Authors can be referenced, but reference numbers should always be given. Example: “... as shown [3,6]. Sierralta et al. [8] obtained a different result ... "
List - Number the references (numbers in brackets) in the list in the order they appear in the text.
