Chemical Engineering & Materials
Seven journals and three thousand papers, most of them about what materials do when you push them.
Our oldest and busiest list after computing. Journal of Polymer & Composites alone carries 1,808 papers, and the group has published continuously since 2010.
Seven hundred and thirteen papers appeared in the last twelve months — more than any other field we publish, and more than one a day. Nine thousand authors have appeared in these pages.

Publish here
Two routes, both peer reviewed, both permanently archived.
$400 / ₹10,000 · typically 45 days from acceptance
Crossref DOI, certificate of publication, a soft copy of your article, and an open licence so anyone can read and cite it.
Free to publish · typically 60 days
Full peer review, the same editorial standard, read by subscribing institutions. A DOI is optional on this route — ₹1,200 in India, $30 elsewhere.

Before you submit
Most papers that come back for revision come back for the same handful of reasons, and almost none of them are about the science. Separately from publication, our editorial office offers:
- Language and copy-editing, with every change shown as a tracked redline you can accept or reject
- Similarity and plagiarism screening before you submit anywhere
- Formatting and reference correction, including DOIs filled in from Crossref where they are missing
- Figure and table checks — the things reviewers notice first
Our boards are not decorative. You apply once, name the journals you are willing to serve, and each editor decides independently. We will tell you either way.
Institutional subscriptions cover the full archive with IP-range access, COUNTER-compliant usage reports and no per-seat limit. Trials run for 30 days on your IP range — no card, no commitment.
