  • Biosensors and Bioelectronics

    • ISSN: 0956-5663
    Biosensors & Bioelectronics has an open access companion journal Biosensors &Bioelectronics: X . To submit to Biosensors & Bioelectronics: X visit https://www.editoria... are defined as analytical devices incorporating a biological material, a biologically derived material or a biomimic intimately associated with or integrated within a physicochemical transducer or transducing microsystem, which may be optical, electrochemical, thermometric, piezoelectric, magnetic or micromechanical (Turner et al., 1987; Turner, 1989). Biosensors & Bioelectronics is the principal international journal devoted to research, design, development and application of biosensors and bioelectronics. It is an interdisciplinary journal serving professionals with an interest in the exploitation of biological materials and designs in novel diagnostic and electronic devices including sensors, DNA chips, electronic noses, lab-on-a-chip and μ-TAS. Biosensors usually yield a digital electronic signal which is proportional to the concentration of a specific analyte or group of analytes. While the signal may in principle be continuous, devices can be configured to yield single measurements to meet specific market requirements. Examples of Biosensors include immunosensors, enzyme-based biosensors, organism- and whole cell-based biosensors. They have been applied to a wide variety of analytical problems including uses in medicine, biomedical research, drug discovery, the environment, food, process industries, security and defence. The design and study of molecular and supramolecular structures with molecular biorecognition and biomimetic properties for use in analytical devices is also included within the scope of the journal. Here the focus is on the complementary intersection between molecular recognition, nanotechnology, molecular imprinting and supramolecular chemistry to improve the analytical performance and robustness of devices.The emerging field of Bioelectronics seeks to exploit biology in conjunction with electronics in a wider context encompassing, for example, biological fuel cells, bionics and biomaterials for information processing, information storage, electronic components and actuators. A key aspect is the interface between biological materials and micro- and nano-electronics.Whi... endeavouring to maintain coherence in the scope of the journal, the editors will accept reviews and papers of obvious relevance to the community, which describe important new concepts, underpin understanding of the field or provide important insights into the practical application, manufacture and commercialisation of biosensors and bioelectronics.

  • Journal of Molecular Graphics and Modelling

    • ISSN: 1093-3263
    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.
  • Coordination Chemistry Reviews

    • ISSN: 0010-8545
    The journal offers rapid publication of review articles on topics of current interest and importance in coordination chemistry. The term coordination chemistry is interpreted broadly, and includes aspects of organometallic, supramolecular, theoretical, and bioinorganic chemistry. The journal also publishes review articles on catalysis, materials chemistry and metal-organic frameworks which focus on the coordination chemistry aspects of these topics. In general, the reviews survey developments in a particular area during the last few years, or discuss the results obtained with a particular technique. We welcome reviews both from established researchers and excellent younger chemists.Special issues are published from time to time on topics of current interest and importance. These special issues may also focus on contributions from a specific country or area of the world, or contain the proceedings of invited lectures to major international conferences. Full book length articles also appear occasionally. The journal also incorporates special volumes containing annual reviews of main group chemistry, on transition metal group chemistry, and on organometallic chemistry. Excellent reviews are essential educational tools for those working in the area of coordination chemistry. Coordination Chemistry Reviews will continue to act as a focal point for informative critical surveys of inorganic and physical inorganic chemistry.Authors are requested to submit a cover letter addressed to the Editor-in-Chief (please see details in the Guide for Authors).
  • European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry

    • ISSN: 0223-5234
    EJMECH (The European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry) is a global journal that publishes studies on the main aspects of medicinal chemistry. It provides a medium for publication of original research papers and it welcomes critical review papers.A typical paper would report on the design (with or without the support of computational methods), organic synthesis, characterization and biochemical/pharmaco... evaluation of novel, potent compounds preferentially with a clear (or proven) mechanism of action and/or target. Other topics of interest are molecular aspects of drug metabolism, prodrug synthesis and drug targeting. The journal expects manuscripts to present a clear rational for a study, provide insight into the strategy and design of compounds and into the mechanism of action, and biological targets. Manuscripts reporting only computational studies are out-of-scope unless a new method (broadly applicable, validated and available to the community) is reported. Authors are kindly invited to look to published articles for the scope of the journal and the organisation of papers.

"Surfaces" is defined in this journal to include all interfaces between solids, liquids, polymers, biomaterials, nanostructures, soft matter, gases and/or vacuum. The journal also contains reviews of experimental techniques and methods used to characterize surfaces and surface processes, e.g. those based upon the interactions of photons, electrons and ions with surfaces.
  • Journal of Aerosol Science

    • ISSN: 0021-8502
    An International JournalFounded in 1970, the Journal of Aerosol Science is the first journal dedicated to the science and engineering of particles and droplets suspended in gases. It serves an interdisciplinary community spanning engineering, physics, chemistry, environmental science, and related fields, with a focus on advancing fundamental understanding alongside enabling technologies.The journal publishes original research and reviews that deliver clear advances in the fundamental principles governing aerosol behavior or that introduce enabling concepts, methods, or measurements with broad relevance. Submissions should demonstrate rigorous analysis, strong connection to underlying physics and chemistry, and novelty that extends beyond incremental application or routine use of established approaches. Editorial decisions are based on technical quality, depth of insight, and contribution to the field’s foundations and future directions.ScopeThe journal welcomes contributions across three core areas, with emphasis on work that advances predictive understanding, links scales, or enables new capabilities.1. Fundamental Aerosol ScienceTransport, deposition, and multiphase dynamics; nucleation, condensation, and evaporation; particle charging and collision processes; radiative interactions; aerosol formation in reactive and non-equilibrium environments; cluster and nanoscale aerosol physics; chemistry, thermodynamics, and phase behavior; population balance and kinetic theory; and multiscale descriptions that bridge atomistic to continuum behavior.2. Applied Aerosol ScienceNew and novel aerosol-based synthesis and manufacturing, including scalable routes to functional materials; high-temperature and reactive aerosols such as soot and plasma systems; novel filtration, separation, and control technologies; new material discovery; aerosols in energy systems; bioaerosols, health, and inhalation science where new physical insight is demonstrated; and industrial processes involving particle formation, transformation, or transport.3. Instrumentation and Measurement MethodsNew or significantly advanced techniques for aerosol measurement, including mobility and mass analysis, optical and spectroscopic diagnostics, single-particle methods, and in situ probes for reactive or extreme environments. Contributions should provide demonstrable advances in capability, resolution, accuracy, or interpretability. Methods that integrate data science or inversion approaches are encouraged when they yield new physical insight or measurement capability.Emerging DirectionsThe journal particularly encourages work in areas shaping the future of aerosol science, including:• Multiscale and data-enabled modeling that connects atomistic processes to macroscopic behavior• Aerosol science in extreme conditions, including high temperature, high pressure, and plasma environments• Directed assembly and manufacturing of functional materials from aerosol building blocks• Coupled aerosol processes in energy, climate, and industrial decarbonization technologies• Next-generation measurement systems, including distributed sensing and real-time diagnostics with physical interpretability• Interfaces between aerosols and biological, chemical, or electrochemical systems where new mechanistic understanding is developedOut of ScopeThe journal does not publish work that primarily reports routine measurements, incremental extensions of established methods, or case-specific simulations without generalizable insight. Studies focused on environmental monitoring, source apportionment, or large-scale atmospheric modeling are better suited to journals dedicated to air quality and atmospheric chemistry unless they introduce new aerosol physics, chemistry or broadly applicable methodology. Instrumentation papers must demonstrate clear advances beyond existing techniques. Numerical studies must provide new theory, methods, or validated insight into aerosol behavior. Results from widely-available computational fluid dynamics software and built-in particle trajectory models are not appropriate for the Journal of Aerosol Science, unless the uniqueness and novelty of the approach employed is clearly evident.
  • Chemical Physics

    • ISSN: 0301-0104
    Frontier research on physical phenomena in chemistry, biology and materials scienceCriteria for publication in Chemical Physics are novelty, quality and general interest in experimental and theoretical chemical physics and physical chemistry. Articles are welcome that deal with problems of electronic and structural dynamics, reaction mechanisms, fundamental aspects of catalysis, solar energy conversion and chemical reactions in general, involving atoms, molecules, proteins, clusters, surfaces, interfaces and bulk matter. Reports on new methodologies and comprehensive assessments of existing ones, as well as applications to new types of problems are especially welcome. Experimental papers are expected to be brought into relation with theory, and theoretical papers should be connected to present or future experiments. Manuscripts that apply standard methods to specific physical-chemical problems and/or to specific systems are appropriate if they report novel results for an important problem of high interest and/or if they provide significant new insights.Manuscripts describing routine use or minor extensions or modifications of established and/or published experimental and theoretical methodologies are not appropriate for the journal. In addition, manuscripts describing analytical procedures that use established spectroscopic techniques, such as for sample characterization, will not be accepted for publication, even if they appear new or improved with respect to procedures previously used.In addition to regular research papers, Chemical Physics publishes invited perspectives articles (called ChemPhys Perspectives) and Special Thematic Issues. Each Chemical Physics Special Issue provides a snapshot of the leading edge in current research of a particular field in chemical physics, and contains invited articles by specialists in that field. The objective is to create a collection of articles representative of the newest findings in a field and equivalent to that covered at a topical conference.
