EJSIR Journal of Chemical and Process Engineering
Addresses chemical engineering, reaction systems, separations, process intensification and industrial chemistry. Research should establish the process question, describe experimental or modelling assumptions and report the measurements needed to assess efficiency, scale-up or environmental performance.
Journal focus
Research topics and contribution standards
These subject areas and editorial expectations help authors judge fit and show readers how each contribution is supported.
Research and evidence
A suitable contribution makes its research question and methods clear, then supports its conclusions with evidence appropriate to the work.

View section scope →Forms of scholarly contribution
The journal considers the following types when the manuscript is appropriate to the section and meets the relevant methodological, reporting and ethics requirements.
Presents a distinct scholarly question and original findings, with methods, analysis and evidence reported in enough detail for critical assessment.
Synthesizes relevant scholarship to clarify the state of knowledge, compare interpretations and identify well-supported questions for further study.
Uses a clearly defined question and reproducible search, selection and synthesis methods, with the evidence base and limitations reported transparently.
Reports a focused result, observation or method whose concise presentation is useful to the field and supported by appropriate evidence.
Describes a practical method, instrument, workflow or technical refinement, explaining its operation, context and performance or validation.
Develops a reasoned scholarly interpretation of an important topic, distinguishing evidence from opinion and acknowledging relevant uncertainty.
Introduces a research dataset, software or other scholarly resource, documenting its provenance, structure, access conditions and quality checks.
