International Journal of Chemical Kinetics

Aims & Scope

As the leading archival journal devoted exclusively to chemical kinetics, the International Journal of Chemical Kinetics publishes original research in gas phase, condensed phase, and polymer reaction kinetics, as well as biochemical and surface kinetics.

The Journal seeks to be the primary archive for careful experimental measurements of reaction kinetics, in both simple and complex systems.

The Journal also presents new developments in applied theoretical kinetics and publishes large kinetic models, and the algorithms and estimates used in these models.

These include methods for handling the large reaction networks important in biochemistry, catalysis, and free radical chemistry.

In addition, the Journal explores such topics as the quantitative relationships between molecular structure and chemical reactivity, organic/inorganic chemistry and reaction mechanisms, and the reactive chemistry at interfaces.
