From 1st January 2021, Journal of Chemical Research will become a fully open access journal. To facilitate this transition, all articles first submitted on or after 1st August 2020 will be subject to an open access article processing charge, and will be published under a Creative Commons license. The APC for this journal is 2000 USD (plus tax where applicable). The APC will be payable on acceptance if the article is accepted after peer review.

The Journal of Chemical Research is a peer reviewed journal that publishes full-length review and research papers in all branches of experimental chemistry. The journal fills a niche by also publishing short papers, a format which favours particular types of work, e.g. the scope of new reagents or methodology, and the elucidation of the structure of novel compounds. Though welcome, short papers should not result in fragmentation of publication, they should describe a completed piece of work. The Journal is not intended as a vehicle for preliminary publications. The work must meet all the normal criteria for acceptance as regards scientific standards.

Papers that contain extensive biological results or material relating to other areas of science may be diverted to more appropriate specialist journals.

Areas of coverage include:

Organic Chemistry
Inorganic Chemistry 
Materials Chemistry
Crystallography
Computational Chemistry
