Energy & Fuels, founded in 1987, aspires to publish the most exciting fundamental and applied research in the fields of energy and fuels. The journal focuses on the science and application domains of energy and fuels, particularly those in the disciplines of chemical engineering and applied chemistry. It intends to serve the vital and growing community of scientists, engineers, and policy experts involved in energy-related fields by publishing fully vetted, reliable, and high-quality research results.
The scope of Energy & Fuels covers:
The submissions on catalysis (including bio-, photo- and electro-catalysis) must focus on new insights for energy conversion and not solely on catalyst characterization. Manuscripts on analytical and instrumental techniques used in investigations of the foregoing areas are also welcome. The analysis of the physical and chemical properties of raw fuels and refined products by novel methods is within the scope. Submitted manuscripts are expected to contain new fundamental knowledge and/or present advances in technologies. Manuscripts on process development, integration and modelling are welcome if they include sound physical-chemical fundamentals. Submissions dealing with nuclear, wind and hydraulic power, power grids, or solely with process economics will not be considered.
Environmental Science & Technology (ES&T) is an impactful, environmental science and technology research journal that aims to be transformational and direction-setting, publishing rigorous and robust manuscripts for a multidisciplinary and diverse audience of scientists, policymakers, and the broad environmental community. The journal advances rigorous scholarship on complex environmental phenomena, particularly with respect to fate, transport, and transformation in natural and engineered systems, while simultaneously facilitating the solution of critical environmental problems. In addition to novelty and significance of research, ES&T considers the relevance of submitted manuscripts to its broad readership.
Current ES&T topical categories for research articles are as follows:
ES&T Letters is a rapid publication forum for international brief communications (Letters, Brief Reviews, Highlights, Global Perspectives) on rigorous experimental or theoretical results of exceptional timeliness on all aspects of environmental science and technology (pure and applied). The journal’s aim is to quickly publish short, timely research of an urgent or emerging nature on complex environmental phenomena while simultaneously facilitating the solution of critical environmental problems.
ES&T Letters’ scope is broad and includes characterization of natural and affected environments, environmental processes, fate, transport and transformation of compounds in natural and engineered systems, environmental measurement methods, environmental aspects of nanotechnology, novel remediation and control technology, biogeochemical cycling, ecotoxicology and human environmental health, sustainability and energy, and remediation, control and pollution prevention. Manuscripts describing cross-disciplinary research or addressing emerging issues are of particular interest. The journal appeals to a multidisciplinary and diverse audience of scientists, policy makers and the broad environmental community. The broad environmental science and technology topic areas published by the journal are shown by (but not limited to) the main journal section headings:
Industrial & Engineering Chemistry, with variations in title and format, has been published since 1909 by the American Chemical Society. Industrial & Engineering Chemistry is a weekly publication that reports industrial and academic research in the broad fields of applied chemistry and chemical and biomolecular/biochemical engineering. Papers may be based on work that is experimental, computational, or theoretical, mathematical or descriptive, and chemical, physical, or biological. Research that combines multiple approaches (e.g., experimentation with validation by modeling or vice versa) are particularly welcome.

Organometallics is the flagship journal of organometallic chemistry and records progress in one of the most active fields of science, bridging organic and inorganic chemistry. For the purposes of this journal, an "organometallic" compound is defined as one in which there is a bonding interaction between one or more carbon atoms of an organic group or molecule and a main-group, transition, lanthanide, or actinide metal atom (or atoms). Following longstanding tradition, organic derivatives of the metalloids (such as boron, silicon, and the like) are included in this definition. Furthermore, manuscripts dealing with metal-containing compounds that do not have metal–carbon bonds will be considered if there is a close relationship between the subject matter and the principles and practice of organometallic chemistry. The journal publishes fundamental studies and work that pushes toward translational research on the synthesis, structure, bonding, chemical reactivity, and reaction mechanisms for a variety of applications:
