Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics
Guidelines for Authors
1.0 General policy
Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal for the publication of original research papers, Perspectives, Communications and Comments in the areas of physical chemistry, biophysical chemistry and chemical physics. The journal is published weekly. There is no page charge for articles published in PCCP.
PCCP publishes kinetic, dynamic, spectroscopic, computational and theoretical studies of molecules and systems in both gas and condensed phases; as well as studies in electrochemistry, catalysis, interfaces, materials: from nano- to macrostructures and polymers, and biophysical chemistry.
Papers must report very high quality new work which makes a significant contribution within the scope of the journal. Manuscripts reporting data or applications of data with no new physicochemical insights are not suitable for publication in PCCP. Additionally, papers which contain insufficient information to ensure reproducibility or material which actively promotes the interest of a process, instrument, software or other intellectual property of actual or potential commercial value will not be considered suitable for publication in PCCP.
Fragmentation of a substantial body of work into a number of short publications is strongly discouraged.
