Scope
Reaction Chemistry & Engineering is an interdisciplinary journal reporting cutting edge research focused on enhancing understanding and efficiency of reactions.
Reaction engineering leverages the interface where fundamental molecular chemistry meets chemical engineering and technology. Challenges in chemistry can be overcome by the application of new technologies, while engineers may find improved solutions for process development from the latest developments in reaction chemistry.
Reaction Chemistry & Engineering is a forum for members of the engineering and chemistry communities alike to come together in solving problems of importance to wider society.
Key topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
- New reaction development (including catalysis and catalyst design, mechanistic and kinetic studies, materials processing, and biochemical processes)
- New synthesis technologies (including electrochemistry, photochemistry, mechanochemistry, continuous processes, and reactor design)
- Digitalisation of chemistry (including analysis and monitoring, automation, visualisation, machine learning, algorithms and reaction optimisation, high-throughput discovery, and cyber-physical systems)
- Pharmaceutical development (including target identification and screening, synthetic route development, and process design, intensification and scale-up)
- Sustainable chemistry (including platform chemicals from bioresources and waste, alternative solvents, the circular economy, and efficient processes)
- Environment & climate (including clean water, carbon capture, solar fuels, and pollution abatement)
All papers should be written to be approachable by readers across the engineering and chemical sciences. Papers that consider multiple scales, from the laboratory up to and including plant scale, are particularly encouraged.
Why publish in Reaction Chemistry & Engineering?
By publishing in the journal, you will receive international exposure of your work to chemical scientists and chemical and process engineers from across academia and industry, as well as the other benefits that are part of publishing in Royal Society of Chemistry journals.

Journal guidelines
There are no specific requirements regarding formatting of submissions; we recommend using the Royal Society of Chemistry template but this is not a requirement for submission. All articles accepted for publication in our journals are edited and typeset to our house style by professional editors; we will format the final publication for you.
The following guidelines are journal specific. For general guidance on preparing an article please visit our Prepare your article and Resources for authors pages, the content of which is relevant to all of our journals.
