Sustainable chemistry one world impact factor

Scope of the Journal


ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering
 publishes content that address challenges of sustainability in the chemical enterprise and advance principles of Green Chemistry and Green Engineering. Examples of topics in the journal's scope include Green Chemistry, Green Manufacturing and Engineering, Biomass or Wastes as Resources, Alternative Energy, and Life-Cycle Assessment.

Potential authors are encouraged to read Editorial articles for guidance on scope and correspondence should be addressed to the Editor-in-Chief at eic@sustain.acs.org.

Manuscript Types

Authors are reminded to heed the noted word limits and avoid unnecessary delays in manuscript handling. Write concisely. Heed the word limits; a request to exceed them will result in critical editorial review. Do not repeat information, graphics, or tables that have appeared elsewhere. Use illustrative data rather than complete data where appropriate. Shorten manuscript text by designating appropriate material as Supporting Information (see below).

 


Letters.
These manuscripts, with a 3000 word-equivalent limit, are preliminary but original works of broad sci

RSC Sustainability


Scope


RSC Sustainability
welcomes all solutions-focused research dedicated to solving sustainability challenges. The journal reports advances in chemistry which also contribute to and enable one or more of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. As an inclusive journal, we celebrate multidisciplinary collaboration as well as traditional chemical science contributions. We seek contributions from the academic, industry, regulatory and government sectors.

Our journal scope covers technologies to achieve responsible consumption and production of chemical products, including:


Efficient use of natural resources

Elimination of hazardous substances in production and use (sustainable and green chemistry)

Reuse and recycling of chemical products (circular economy)

Methods to analyse these processes (techno-enviro-economics) 


Research claiming the greater sustainability of chemical entities should be evidence-based and include quantitative measurements of toxicity, environmental persistence, performance comparisons with existing technologies etc. We encourage authors to follow life cycle thinking, requesting side-by-side comparisons with existing technol

Sustainable Chemistry


Scope
Based on the definition and twelve principles of green chemistry proposed by Anastas and Warner (Green Chemistry: Theory and Practice, P T Anastas and J C Warner, Oxford University Press, Oxford, 1998), the scope of Sustainable Chemistry includes, but is not limited to, the following: o Green catalysis, solvents, and absorbents o (Bio)polymers/materials o Biorefineries and biofuels o Plastics and wastes o Life cycle assessment o Energy storage and conversion o Carbon dioxide capture, storage o Cleaner synthetic methods o Separation and purification technologies o Green processes, technologies, and manufacturing o Design for chemical products and processes o Environmental conservation and green chemistry o Circular economy o Sustainable chemistry and engineering o Green chemistry education Join the conversation about this journal
