Presents a distinct scholarly question and original findings, with methods, analysis and evidence reported in enough detail for critical assessment.
About the Journal
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 overview
Journal of Chemical and Process Engineering is a journal in the EJSIR Publisher programme, focused on Chemical and Process Engineering. Its scope is organized into academic sections covering Reaction Engineering, Separation Processes, Process Systems Engineering, Catalysis, Transport Phenomena, Biochemical Engineering, Process Safety, Industrial Chemistry, Sustainable Process Design and Process Intensification. This structure helps authors assess disciplinary fit and gives readers a clear route through the journal’s subject coverage.
The journal welcomes original research article, review article, systematic review, short communication and other contributions described in its author guidance when they fit the scope. Suitable work may use analytical design, simulation, laboratory or field experiments, prototype development, measurement, manufacturing studies or systems evaluation. Authors should report the materials, equipment, boundary conditions, calibration and comparison methods needed to assess the results, and discuss uncertainty and limitations. Authors should engage relevant scholarship, explain the contribution and report limitations needed for critical assessment.
Editorial assessment considers journal fit, methodological or interpretive quality, research integrity and clarity. The stated review model is double-anonymous peer review, normally with at least two independent reviewers. Publisher policies on ethics, access, authorship, conflicts, data and corrections apply alongside this journal’s scope. Submission information is provided on this site; manuscripts can be submitted only after the journal’s submission route opens.
Academic remit
The journal aims to publish engineering research that advances understanding, design methods, technologies or validated systems in its subject areas. Both foundational and applied work are considered when the engineering contribution is explicit and results are assessed with methods suited to the research question. The central contribution should fit at least one of the journal’s academic sections and be meaningful to readers in chemical and process engineering.
Suitable work may use analytical design, simulation, laboratory or field experiments, prototype development, measurement, manufacturing studies or systems evaluation. Authors should report the materials, equipment, boundary conditions, calibration and comparison methods needed to assess the results, and discuss uncertainty and limitations. Authors should define the research question, connect the approach to the question, describe sources or materials and analytical choices, and provide enough information for critical assessment. Interdisciplinary work is welcome when its relevance to the journal is clear and the methods used for each component are explained.
Interpretations and claims should follow from the reported evidence. Authors should identify uncertainty, limitations and alternative explanations where relevant, and distinguish demonstrated results from implications or future work. Studies involving people, animals, sensitive data or protected material should describe applicable ethics, consent, privacy and permissions.
Concept proposals without technical analysis, device or process claims without suitable testing, and case descriptions that do not establish a transferable engineering contribution fall outside scope. Manuscripts outside the listed sections or lacking an assessable scholarly contribution may be declined at editorial screening. The section descriptions below provide more detailed guidance on topic fit.
Published work
Article types
Manuscripts must fit the journal scope and meet the relevant reporting, ethics and evidence requirements.
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.
