Journal Guide

NJC (New Journal of Chemistry) is a broad-based primary journal encompassing all branches of chemistry and its sub-disciplines. It publishes high-quality work that opens new directions in chemistry or in other scientific disciplines. Research must demonstrate that it will have an impact on areas of research other than that of the reported work.

The project on independent on-line library of Blackhorse Scientific Publishers has been intorduced as early as in 1999 when Blackhorse became an independent publishing house. During previous Springer time, several efforts was made to create the up-to-date scalable and relayable database. However, on that time no such similar on-line library existed in Poland. So, the new venture to offer the full text database containing all manuscripts published at Blackhorse\'s journals started in June 1999. Just amonths thereafter, Blackhorse became a registrant of The Digital Object Identifier Foundadtion, Inc. (Washington, DC) and started to collect the manuscripts accordant to the DOI standards. The special numbering system providing and assuring the full control over several manuscripts and unifing them was developed and introduced into the standarized company's workflow.

Optics Communications considers only original and timely contributions containing new results in various fields of modern optics. Manuscripts may discuss fundamental or applied issues, and should offer clear evidence of novelty and significance. Papers devoted, for the most part, to mathematical and computational issues, with limited direct connection to current trends of optics research, are generally not suitable for publication in the Journal. Similarly, small technical advances, or papers concerned only with engineering applications or issues of materials science may not be considered favourably.The Fast Track section of Optics Communications is the venue for very rapid publication of short communications on significant developments in the various fields of modern optics. The goal is to offer the broad modern optics community quick and immediate access to recently completed work in research areas that are rapidly developing and in which there are developments with great potential impact.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry (OBC) publishes original and high impact research and reviews in organic chemistry. We welcome research that shows new or significantly improved protocols or methodologies in total synthesis, synthetic methodology or physical and theoretical organic chemistry as well as research that shows a significant advance in the organic chemistry or molecular design aspects of chemical biology, catalysis, supramolecular and macromolecular chemistry, theoretical chemistry, mechanism-oriented physical organic chemistry, medicinal chemistry or natural products. Articles published in the journal should report new work which makes a highly-significant impact in the field. Routine and incremental work is generally not suitable for publication in the journal. Topics covered include, but are not limited to: Organic synthesis; physical and theoretical organic chemistry; chemical biology; catalysis; supramolecular, macromolecular and organic materials; sensors; medicinal chemistry; natural products.

Organic Chemistry Frontiers is an international forum for cutting-edge research from all disciplines of organic chemistry, with topics spanning but not limited to organic synthesis, catalysis, natural products, functional organic materials, supramolecular and macromolecular chemistry, physical and computational chemistry, medicinal chemistry, and bioorganic chemistry. Emphases are placed on studies that make significant contributions to the field of organic chemistry by reporting either new or significantly improved protocols or methodologies. Together with Inorganic Chemistry Frontiers and Materials Chemistry Frontiers, this suite of journals offers an authoritative portfolio that is jointly owned by the Chinese Chemical Society, the Royal Society of Chemistry, and partner institutions.

Organic ElectronicsMaterials, Physics, Chemistry and ApplicationsOrganic Electronics is a journal whose primary interdisciplinary focus is on materials and phenomena related to organic devices such as light emitting diodes, thin film transistors, photovoltaic cells, sensors, memories, etc.Papers suitable for publication in this journal cover such topics as photoconductive and electronic properties of organic materials, thin film structures and characterization in the context of organic devices, charge and exciton transport, organic electronic and optoelectronic devices.Organic Electronics provides the forum for applied, fundamental and interdisciplinary contributions spanning the wide range of electronic properties and applications of organic materials. A Letters section is included for rapid publication of short articles announcing significant and highly original results.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

It is devoted to preparative organic chemistry, organometallic compounds, and procedures generally related to synthesis. The mission has always been to assist the practitioner by publishing reliable and reproducible procedures of the highest standards. OPPI has published articles in every area of preparative organic chemistry, from innovative new technology to nuts-and-bolts improvement in traditional synthesis. Along with experimental papers, the Journal publishes authoritative reviews on significant topics in synthesis. The editors work closely with all our authors, including those whose first language is not English, to see important work that might otherwise appear only in more restricted format get to press, thus insuring a truly worldwide audience for valuable material.

Organic Process Research & Development serves as a communication tool between industrial chemists and chemists working in universities and research institutes. As such, OPR&D reports original work from the broad field of industrial process chemistry and chemical engineering but also presents academic results that are relevant, or potentially relevant, to scale up and industrial applications. The journal places an emphasis on science that enables the safe, environmentally benign, and ultimately economical manufacturing of organic compounds that are required in larger amounts to help address the needs of society. 

The journal encompasses all aspects of organic and organometallic chemistry and process research...

• Synthetic methodology development and strategy exploration
• Catalysis
• Medicinal chemistry
• Analytical chemistry and work-up tools
• Flow chemistry and process design
• Process safety
  ...serving these industrial sectors:
• Pharmaceuticals
• Agrochemicals
• Electronics
• Flavors and Food Additives
• Fragrances, Cosmetics, and Personal Care Products
• Specialty polymers
• Petrochemicals
