Presents a distinct scholarly question and original findings, with methods, analysis and evidence reported in enough detail for critical assessment.
Aims & Scope
EJSIR Journal of Chemistry and Molecular Science
Covers analytical, physical, organic, inorganic, molecular and computational chemistry. The journal considers studies that advance chemical understanding or method development, with clear characterization, appropriate controls and evidence supporting structural or mechanistic interpretations.
Journal aim and scope
The journal aims to publish research that advances understanding of physical and chemical phenomena, molecular systems and materials. It welcomes fundamental mechanisms, measurement and characterization methods, and applications when the underlying scientific contribution is clear and the evidence supports the conclusions. The central contribution should fit at least one of the journal’s academic sections and be meaningful to readers in chemistry and molecular science.
Approaches may include analytical theory, computational modelling, synthesis, spectroscopy, microscopy, measurement, characterization and controlled experiments. Authors should report sample preparation, instrument or model settings, calibration, uncertainty and relevant controls, and connect interpretations to the evidence presented. 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.
Material claims without adequate characterization, measurements without relevant controls or uncertainty estimates, and application reports that do not establish a scientific 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.

Article types
Article type does not by itself determine suitability. The manuscript must fit the journal’s subject scope and meet the relevant standards for evidence, reporting, ethics and transparency.
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.
