Journal of Physical Chemistry B

Aims & Scope

An essential criterion for acceptance of research articles in the journal is that they provide new physical insight.

Please refer to the New Physical Insights virtual issue on what constitutes new physical insight.

Manuscripts that are essentially reporting data or applications of data are, in general, not suitable for publication in JPC B.
