  Aims and Scopes

   The aim of the Iranian Journal of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering (IJCCE) is to foster the growth of educational, scientific, and industrial research activities among chemists and chemical engineers and to provide a medium for mutual communication between the Iranian academia, and the industry on the one hand, and the world scientific community on the other.

   The Journal welcomes original research articles; research notes or short communications and topical or interpretative review articles (previously unpublished) in all established areas of chemistry, chemical engineering, and related fields in English.

 

  History

   Publication of the Iranian Journal of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering (IJCCE) began in 1982 by ACECR in Persian. From 1987 to 1997 it was published in bilingual (Persian & English). Since 1997, it has been published as a separate International Journal in English, semi-annually up to 2004, and since 2005 quarterly.

   Currently, it is published bimonthly by the Iranian Research Institute of Development in Chemical Industries (IRDCI)-ACECR as an International Journal.

  Types of Manuscript

   1) Research Articles are full-length expositions of extensive and significant experimental and/or theoretical studies. The paper should clearly describe the reason for undertaking the work, the present methods used, and the results found in separate sections. Scientific interpretations based on the findings should be presented in a discussion section

   2) Topical or Review Articles are studies on areas of interest to readers of the journal. They may also be "state of the art" reports or communications. A review article is an analysis and collection of the current state of the research on a particular topic. A review article is  It is not an original article wif new data or findings but represents:

  • The main people working in a field
  • Recent major advances and discoveries
  • Significant gaps in the research
  • Current debates
  • Ideas of where research might go next

      Review articles are usually invited by the Editor, although we will consider unsolicited material. All review articles, even if invited, undergo the same peer review and editorial process as original research reports. These papers are peer-reviewed and are accepted based on technical accuracy, importance, and readability. 

   3) Research Notes or Short Communications are complete, self-contained papers. In style and presentation, they should conform to that laid down for manuscripts but the length should not exceed 4 printed pages in the Journal including tables and figures.

 

Preparation of Manuscripts

For general style, consult recent issues of the Journal and the ACS Style Guide (1986). Manuscripts should be typed in one-column style on A4 paper. Each page should be numbered.

 

Manuscript Sections

The paper should clearly describe the reason for undertaking the work, and present methods used and the results found and scientific interpretations based on the findings should be presented in the "Results and Discussion" section.

It is suggested that the authors prepare their manuscripts in the following manner: 
  •  Title
  •  Names and work and email addresses of authors
  •  Abstract (or Summary)
  •  Key Words
  •  Introduction
  •  Experimental and/or Theoretical Section
  •  Results and Discussion
  •  Conclusions
  •  Nomenclatures
  •  Acknowledgments (if required)
  •  References

 

 Note: In Review or Topical Articles the following sections can be omitted:

- Experimental Section, Results and Discussion, Acknowledgments

 

Title

Use specific and informative titles; they should be as brief as possible (up to 12 words), consistent wif the need for defining the subject area covered by the paper, and for indexing and retrieval purposes.

(Use Times New Roman Font, Size 18 Bold).

If the number of symbols used is small, it is permissible to define these in the text where it first occurs. If the number is large, a separate table of notation must be prepared Roman symbols should be listed in the table first, tan Greek.

 

Systems of Units

Should follow the Systeme International d' Unites for all dimensional quantities.

 

Tables

Avoid tables and graphs that involve superfluous duplication of data. Substitute a few typical results for lengthy tables when practical. Number tables in order of mention in the text. Use each Table of your manuscript in the appropriate place and after referring to it. Do not give them in a separate file(s) or at the end of the manuscript. Use Table tools of Microsoft Word for establishing the Tables.

(Use Times New Roman Font, Size 10, Bold & Italic for Table's Contents and Size 8 for captions).

Captions must be typed up in each table.

 

Figures

The figures should be carefully designed and prepared in a form suitable for direct reproduction. All lettering should be prepared for a size that can be read after reduction. Label the axes outside the graph properly Number all illustrations consecutively. Use each Figure of your manuscript in the appropriate place and after referring to it. Do not give them in a separate file(s) or at the end of the manuscript.

(Use Times New Roman Font, Size 10).

Type a caption under each Figure in Times New Roman Font, Size 9, Bold Italic. Original drawings of graphs and diagrams and photographs should be provided when the manuscript is submitted.

 

Supplementary Materials

Occasionally, manuscripts include extensive tables, graphs, spectra, mathematical material, or other "supplementary materials" that are of value primarily to those readers who need all of the data or all of the details.
