Microchemical Journal
Microchemical Journal is a rigorous, yet supportive peer-reviewed journal covering all aspects and phases of Analytical Chemistry, including sampling, sample pre-treatment, measurement and data analysis. The Microchemical Journal publishes articles which are at the forefront of modern analytical chemistry and cover innovations in the techniques to the finest possible limits. This includes Fundamental Aspects, Instrumentation, Mass Spectrometry, Chromatography and Electrophoresis Separations, Microscale and Nanoscale Systems, Omics (Proteomics and Metabolomics), Sensors and Sensing (Single-molecule sensors, Microfluidic systems, Biosensors), Chemometrics, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence and Imaging, and original applications concerning clinical, environmental, industrial, food, forensic, and heritage fields.Electroanalyt... and optical sensors, separation methods, spectroscopy, electroanalytical methods and all new procedures for inorganic, organic, biochemical molecules and micro-organisms detection and quantification are welcome. However, manuscripts must provide significant improvements and novelty compared to the established methods.The journal does not consider routine analytical method applications in such areas as classical and new materials characterization, pharmaceutical, model environmental pollutant (e.g. dye and antibiotic detection and degradation), and industrial quality control. Routine, incremental studies without innovative analytical chemical methodologies (e.g. different reagents but no new analytical approaches or detection problems), superficial analytical chemistry discussions and analyses, and fragmentation of work are strongly discouraged. In any case, applications to real sample analysis instead of the use of spiked ones are preferred. The journal was established in the late 1950s as a medium devoted to the developing field of microchemistry. As the area of microchemistry has moved into analyses in microgram masses and micro volumes (and lower), low detection limits, and sophisticated and compact instrumentation, the Microchemical Journal has continued to evolve and change with this growing and expanding area, covering nowadays analytical chemical research in its broadest sense, including micro-organisms identification and quantification, miniaturization, automation, the use of nanomaterials and smart materials-based methodologies for sample preparation and analyte determination, and application of AI-based, deep/machine learning chemometrics in its broadest sense, considering also those regarding -omics studies, big data, artificial intelligence and hyperspectral imaging.The journal will publish special issues devoted to hot topics, inviting the most productive and active researchers. Besides full research articles, Critical Review papers, Short Communications, Tutorials and Technical Notes are also considered.- ISSN: 0026-265X
Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry
JEAC (Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry) is the foremost international journal devoted to the interdisciplinary subject of electrochemistry in all its aspects, theoretical as well as applied.Papers presenting new and interesting electrochemical science that is accessible to the reader are particularly welcomed. Authors should pay particular attention to the key issues of novelty, topicality and quality. The presentation and discussion should be at a level that is consistent with the international status of JEAC.JEAC does not accept reports describing the application of well-established techniques to problems that are essentially technical. Similarly, papers that report observations but fail to provide adequate interpretation will be rejected. Papers dealing with technical electrochemistry should be submitted to other specialist journals unless the authors can show that their work provides substantially insights into electrochemical processes.- ISSN: 1572-6657
Progress in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy
Progress in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy aims to publish authoritative reviews that are of lasting value in the field of magnetic resonance, as reflected in its cited half-life of 11.6 years. It publishes review papers describing research related to the theory and application of magnetic resonance spectroscopy and imaging. These techniques are widely applied in chemistry, physics, biochemistry and materials science, and also in many areas of biology, medicine and engineering. Progress publishes review articles covering applications in all of these and in related subjects, as well as in-depth treatments of the fundamental theory of instrumental developments in magnetic resonance.- ISSN: 0079-6565
Journal of Molecular Graphics and Modelling
The Journal of Molecular Graphics and Modelling is devoted to the publication of papers on the uses of computers in theoretical investigations of molecular structure, function, interaction, and design. The scope of the journal includes all aspects of molecular modeling and computational chemistry, including, for instance, the study of molecular shape and properties, molecular simulations, protein and polymer engineering, drug design, materials design, structure-activity and structure-property relationships, database mining, and compound library design.As a primary research journal, JMGM seeks to bring new knowledge to the attention of our readers. As such, submissions to the journal need to not only report results, but must draw conclusions and explore implications of the work presented. Authors are strongly encouraged to bear this in mind when preparing manuscripts. Routine applications of standard modelling approaches, providing only very limited new scientific insight, will not meet our criteria for publication. Reproducibility of reported calculations is an important issue. Wherever possible, we urge authors to enhance their papers with Supplementary Data, for example, in QSAR studies machine-readable versions of molecular datasets or in the development of new force-field parameters versions of the topology and force field parameter files. Routine applications of existing methods that do not lead to genuinely new insight will not be considered.JMGM is published in association with two of the largest and most active professional societies in the field: the Molecular Graphics and Modelling Society (MGMS) and the Computers in Chemistry (COMP) Division of the American Chemical Society. Several thousand computational chemists worldwide belong to these two societies and any research topic that may of interest to the membership is within the wide scope of the journal. It is not necessary to be a member of these professional societies to publish in the journal.Published in association with the Molecular Graphics and Modelling Society www.mgms.org and the ACS Division of Computers in Chemistry.- ISSN: 1093-3263
Radiation Physics and Chemistry
The Journal for Radiation Physics, Radiation Chemistry and Radiation Processing A multidisciplinary journal linking science and industryRadiation Physics and Chemistry is a multidisciplinary journal that provides a medium for publication of substantial and original papers, reviews, and short communications which focus on research and developments involving ionizing radiation in radiation physics, radiation chemistry and radiation processing.Radiation Physics and Chemistry aims to publish articles with significance to an international audience, containing substantial novelty and contributions to science. We expect that articles present new insight or hypothesis testing, that they focus on radiation effects or applications of ionizing radiation, provide uncertainties and statistical analysis where relevant, and present their findings in context with discussion of past and recent literature. The editors reserve the right to reject, with or without external review, articles which do not meet these criteria. This could include articles which are very similar to previous publications, except that target substrates, materials, analyzed sites or experimental methods have been changed.A fuller though not exhaustive list of topics that are considered for publication include:Radiation PhysicsFundamental processes in radiation physics Interaction mechanisms for example scattering and absorption of photon and particle radiations Attenuation coefficients X-ray fluorescence Cherenkov effect Polarization Effects of periodic structures (Bragg diffraction, channelling, parametric x-radiation, etc)Mathematical methods in radiation physics, reference dataRadiation sources and detectors Accelerator and radionuclide spectra and other properties Radiation fields from point and extended sources Detector response functions Basic physics of Dosimetry Radiation transport Buildup factorsRadiation ChemistryIonizing radiation induced ionic and radical reactions Kinetics and mechanism of radiolysis reactions Pulse radiolysis technique and measurements Nanoparticle production by ionizing radiation Radiation induced chain reactions, polymerization Irradiation effects on polymers Dose and dose rate effects LET effects on chemical reactions Pollutant removal by ionizing radiation Computational models on radiation chemical reactionsPapers on photochemistry, microwave chemistry and thermochemistry are believed to belong to the scope of RPC only if they have strong relevance to radiation chemistry. EPR papers will only be considered for publication when the method is used for clarifying radiation chemical processes, e.g. by determining the nature of the transient intermediates. Radiochemistry papers such as tracer technique, radon or other radionuclide measurements, isotopic constitutions fall outside the scope of the journal.Radiation ProcessingRadiation Sterilization Microbiology Toxicology Biocompatibility ValidationFood irradiation Microbiological quality Chemical effects Nutrition Detection induced radioactivityPolymer...
