Preferred journal of the American Society of Crime Lab Directors (ASCLD). Forensic Chemistry publishes high quality manuscripts focusing on the theory, research and application of any chemical science to forensic analysis. The scope of the journal includes fundamental advancements that result in a better understanding of the evidentiary significance derived from the physical and chemical analysis of materials. The scope of Forensic Chemistry will also include the application and or development of any molecular and atomic spectrochemical technique, electrochemical techniques, sensors, surface characterization techniques, mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance, chemometrics and statistics, and separation sciences (e.g. chromatography) that provide insight into the forensic analysis of materials. Evidential topics of interest to the journal include, but are not limited to, fingerprint analysis, drug analysis, ignitable liquid residue analysis, explosives detection and analysis, the characterization and comparison of trace evidence (glass, fibers, paints and polymers, tapes, soils and other materials), ink and paper analysis, gunshot residue analysis, synthetic pathways for drugs, toxicology and the analysis and chemistry associated with the components of fingermarks. The journal is particularly interested in receiving manuscripts that report advances in the forensic interpretation of chemical evidence. Technology Readiness Level: When submitting an article to Forensic Chemistry, all authors will be asked to self-assign a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) to their article. The purpose of the TRL system is to help readers understand the level of maturity of an idea or method, to help track the evolution of readiness of a given technique or method, and to help filter published articles by the expected ease of implementation in an operation setting within a crime lab. Four TRL levels are available: TRL 1: Basic research phenomenon observed or basic theory proposed, which may find application to a proposed area of forensic chemistry. Examples include one-off instruments that make unique measurements, the study of chemical properties of explosives, and the first reporting of some basic measurements or observations from chemical analysis. TRL 2: Development of a theory or research phenomenon that has a demonstrated application to a specified area of forensic chemistry, including supporting data. Examples include the first application of an instrument or technique to a forensic application, or the application of a model or theory to simulated casework. Examples include models that predict weathering of ignitable liquids, new or improved separation or measurement capabilities, or development of chemometric tools with an aim to better describe the significance of chemical evidence. TRL 3: Application of an established technique or instrument to a specified area of forensic chemistry with measured figures of merit, some measurement of uncertainty, and developed aspects of intra-laboratory validation. TRL 3 methods should be practicable on commercially available instruments and results of the first inter-laboratory trials can also be reported as TRL 3 communications. TRL 4: Refinement, enhancement, and inter-laboratory validation of a standardized method ready for implementation in forensic laboratories. New knowledge in this area can be immediately adopted or used in casework. Examples are case reports, fully validated methods or protocols that have undergone or are currently being considered by a standard development organization, measures of error rates and database development and reporting. The assignments of the TRL will be proposed by the authors during initial submission. TRL levels will be reviewed by the editors and peer reviewers and displayed in the final article online. Collections of the four TRLs can be found here. Open Data: Forensic Chemistry encourages authors to deposit their datasets publically available on Mendeley Data (data.mendeley.com/).

Green Analytical Chemistry

ISSN: 2772-5774

The main goal of the Green Analytical Chemistry journal is to focus on green approaches which are not covered well by other analytical chemistry periodicals but are becoming increasingly important. Objective of Green Analytical Chemistry is to minimize or eliminate the use of toxic substances or generation of waste, employ screening methods for simple qualitative (yes/no) measurement designed to avoid processing of large numbers of samples that are required for full quantitative analysis in large labs and replace them with ion-site and in-vivo technologies. The journal should emphasize developments of on-site instrumentation (both engineering and chemistry aspects), on-site sampling (both statistics and instrumentation), novel approaches to eliminate or reduce substantially use of organic solvents and toxic reagents from analytical procedures (both for high throughput laboratory determinations as well as on-site screening). Also, complete solutions, in particular, validated analytical protocols which are ready to be incorporated as green regulatory methods will be very welcomed contributions. The main objective of the journal is to promote fundamental and practical aspects of green analytical technologies. Both novel green analytical chemistry approaches as well as modified traditional schemes, will be suitable for the journal. Technologies suitable for screening applications will be emphasized. The greenness of the method will be transparently assessed considering key criteria such as reagent toxicity, waste production, energy consumption and user safety. In addition, a comprehensive assessment of the method in terms of balancing its greenness with functionality, also including analytical and practical criteria. Articles published in the journal will support the development of green analytical regulatory methods, which will contribute to reduced footprint of humans on the Earth. The published material will assist educators at Universities to have publication support to promote Green Analytical Chemistry approaches in their courses. The Scope for Green Analytical Chemistry will include: Fundamental developments facilitating green analytical chemistry technologies/methods Development of chemical and biochemical sensors Reuse of the devices will be emphasized to reduce waste Alternative solvents, replacing hazardous compounds Miniaturization, making it possible to reduce dramatically the amounts of reagents consumed and wastes generated Reducing or avoiding side effects of analytical methods. Reducing time and energy Environmentally friendly sample preparation techniques Solventless extraction techniques, the application of alternative solvents and assisted extractions both small and industrial scale On-site analytical instrument development and sampling protocols Flow cells Green Chemistry Education

Industrial Crops and Products

ISSN: 0926-6690
5 Year impact factor: 6
Impact factor: 5.9

Industrial Crops and Products is an International Journal publishing research on cultivated plants (crops) of industrial interest (non-food, non-feed). Papers concern both crop-oriented and bio-based materials research. It should be of interest to an international audience, hypothesis driven, and repeatable. Crops and products of interest include: fiber, forest, and energy crops, industrial oilseeds, rubber and resins, and cultivated medicinal and aromatic plants. The plant(s) in the manuscript must fit our definition of industrial crops, before it is classified further in research topics as indicated below. Research on food, phytochemistry, ethnobotany, and medicine are not in the scope of the journal. Authors should make clear in the cover letter how the research fits our scope following the detailed scope description below. The following are examples of research that fits within the scope of the journal: Industrial crop management practices to increase productivity and specific chemical components. Including cultural practices (sowing, plant density, fertilization, pruning, shading, management of wild stands for sustainable harvest, pests and weed management, harvest, post-harvest, etc.). Breeding and genetics of cultivated industrial crops. The research must be of international interest and hypothesis driven. The research must be of value to other breeders and the germplasm developed must be available to other researchers for further genetic improvement. Response of cultivated industrial crops to abiotic (temperature, water, salinity, pH, heavy metals, etc.) and biotic stresses (insects, diseases, weeds). Sustainable cropping systems including an industrial crop to reduce negative environmental impacts of conventional cropping systems. For example, cultivation in marginal lands, intercropping, double or relay cropping, cover cropping or other systems intended to minimize soil erosion, eutrophication, greenhouse gases emissions, loss of biodiversity, etc. New techniques for the propagation of industrial crops or production of metabolites in vitro (root and tissue culture, micropropagation). Discovery or development of new industrial crops is in the scope, but must include an evaluation of the real potential to make a plant an industrial crop, not just information on plants gathered in natural habitats (many plants make products, but they will not become a crop). An economic analysis may be included as appropriate. Extraction methods of metabolites from industrial crops and waste streams of industrial crops processing (non-food related). Biochemical and thermochemical conversion of lignocellulosic biomass. Bio-based materials: Fiber and fiber compounds: cellulose-, hemicelluloses-and lignin-based products, textiles, nanofibers, composites, films, etc. Other crop-polysaccharides based materials such as carbohydrates and proteins-based products not intended for the food industry (adhesives, varnishes, paints, etc.) Rubber, waxes, resins, gums from crops Polymers from crops Crop and forestry biorefinery: Energy crops: fuel (bioethanol, biogas, syngas), biochar, chemicals, etc. Oils, fatty acids, biofuels (biodiesel, jet fuel, drop-in fuels), and chemicals derived from oilseed crops Biologically active compounds: Insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, and pharmaceuticals (the species has to fit our definition of industrial crop; cultivated plants or plants with demonstrated potential to be cultivated with non-food purposes) Essential oils: inks, dyes, lubricants, perfumes, cosmetics, plastics, and other industrial applications Bio-based products must be tied to specific crops/plants, and their modification to meet new industrial uses. For instance, for nanoparticles, a direct link is required with an industrial crop or with the respective value-chain. In the manuscript, all species must include the Latin name and Authority, the first time the species is mentioned in the abstract or text. Research not in the scope of the journal: Field or horticultural crops and products which main use is food, functional food, or nutraceutical. Some crops might have both an industrial and food use. For example rapeseed (Brassica napus L.), if the work is directed to industrial rapeseed (biodiesel, jet fuel) fits the scope; but if it is a canola type with main use as food; then is not in the scope, same for other oilseeds (sunflower, safflower), sugar crops( sugarcane, sugarbeet), and others. Non-plant research or non-plant derived products, for instance animal, algae, fungi, microorganisms, and minerals. For example: honey, propolis, chitosan, graphene, etc. are not in the scope. Genetic, phytochemical, molecular characterization or screening of plant species collected in their natural habitat or a local set of genotypes of a species with or without potential to become a cultivated industrial crop. In vitro antioxidant activity characterization with indirect methods (DPPH, ABTS, FRAP or ORAC) of plants or plant parts without proof of biological activity. Antioxidant activity is present in all plants and thus is meaningless without additional data. Edible films and food/feed related antioxidant activity. Ethnobotany, ethnopharmacology, pharmacology, and phytochemistry. Development of analytical methods of metabolites. Valorization and metabolite extraction of waste streams from food industry (peels, seeds, pomace, coffee grounds, vegetables processing, etc.).
