High quality research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry.

Sample content

PCCP publishes very high quality new work which makes a significant contribution within the scope of the journal. This page details the different types of papers we publish, and for each provides an example of a recent manuscript.

Perspectives

Perspectives are commissioned by the PCCP Editorial Board. A Perspective is intended to be a high profile article presenting an authoritative state-of-the-art account of a selected research field from within the areas of physical chemistry and chemical physics. It may take the form of a personal account of research, or a critical analysis of a topic of current interest, whilst recognizing the wide readership of PCCP.

Communications

Communications contain preliminary accounts of original and highly significant work whose interest to the PCCP readership and impact on the subject warrants urgent publication.

Evidence of a water layer in solid-contact polymeric ion sensors

Research Papers

Full Research papers contain original scientific work that has not been published previously. However, extension of work that has appeared in print in a short form such as a Communication in PCCP or Chemical Communications is encouraged. There are no restrictions on the length of a paper.

Comments

Comments are a medium for the discussion and exchange of scientific opinions, normally concerning material published in PCCP. Comments will normally be forwarded to the authors of the work being discussed, and these authors will be given the opportunity to submit a Response for publication together with the Comment.
