Journal of Analytical and Applied Pyrolysis

Aims & Scope

The Journal of Analytical and Applied Pyrolysis (JAAP) is devoted to the publication of papers dealing with innovative applications of pyrolysis processes, the characterization of products related to pyrolysis reactions, and investigations of reaction mechanism.

To be considered by JAAP, a manuscript should present significant progress in these topics.

The novelty must be satisfactorily argued in the cover letter.

A manuscript with a cover letter to the editor not addressing the novelty is likely to be rejected without review.
