Journal scope
NJC (New Journal of Chemistry) is a broad-based primary journal encompassing all branches of chemistry and its sub-disciplines. It contains full research articles, communications, perspectives and focus articles.
This well-established journal, owned by the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) of France, has been co-published with the Royal Society of Chemistry since January 1998.
NJC is the forum for the publication of high-quality, original and significant work that opens new directions in chemistry or in other scientific disciplines.
In addition to having a significant chemical component, work published in NJC must demonstrate that it will have an impact on areas of research other than that of the reported work.

Journal specific guidelines
All submissions to NJC must include a file of the “integrated manuscript”: this is a file with all of the tables and artwork integrated into the text at a point close to where the table/figure/scheme, etc., is first mentioned.
- Tables should be complete with the table number and title above the table and footnotes below. Please place the table in the text at a point where the entire table can fit on a single page (unless the table is longer than a single page).
- Figures/schemes/charts should have the number and caption below the artwork. Avoid splitting the graphic over two pages (when possible) by placing it appropriately in the text.
To avoid the shifting of inserted graphics/tables during generation of the pdf file that is read by the editors and reviewers, authors are encouraged to upload a pdf version of their “integrated manuscript” in addition to the native file.
Submissions to NJC that do not include this “integrated manuscript” file will be un-submitted, and the author will be requested to upload the “integrated manuscript” file to complete the submission.
Please note that this policy does not require authors to use the journal template for NJC article types that do not have a limit on their length (regular Papers and Perspective reviews). However, the latest journal template should be used for Communications and Focus reviews, which are limited to 4 and 6 pages, respectively.
Readership information
New Journal of Chemistry is for academic and industrial scientists in all areas of the chemical sciences.
Open access publishing options
NJC is a hybrid journal and gives authors the choice of publishing their research either via the traditional subscription-based model or instead by choosing our gold open access option.
Gold open access
For authors who want to publish their article gold open access, NJC charges an article processing charge (APC) of £2,500 (+ any applicable tax). Our APC is all-inclusive and makes your article freely available online immediately, permanently, and includes your choice of Creative Commons licence (CC BY or CC BY-NC) at no extra cost. It is not a submission charge, so you only pay if your article is accepted for publication.
Learn more about publishing open access.
Read & Publish
If your institution has a Read & Publish agreement in place with the Royal Society of Chemistry, APCs for gold open access publishing in NJC may already be covered.
Check if your institution is already part of our Read & Publish community.
Please use your official institutional email address to submit your manuscript; this helps us to identify if you are eligible for Read & Publish or other APC discounts.
Traditional subscription model
Authors can also publish in NJC via the traditional subscription model without needing to pay an APC. Articles published via this route are available to institutions and individuals who subscribe to the journal. Our standard licence allows you to make the accepted manuscript of your article freely available after a 12-month embargo period. This is known as the green route to open access.
Subscription information
New Journal of Chemistry is part of RSC Gold, Core Chemistry and General Chemistry subscription packages.
