Essential Chem is an international, peer-reviewed, fully open access journal publishing reproducible multidisciplinary chemistry research. We aim to break down siloed specialisms by bringing together chemists at all career stages to foster better collaboration and information sharing across the greater chemistry community.
Accepting research articles, review articles, rapid communications, data notes, article commentaries, comments, and methods, Essential Chem also welcomes negative results and replication studies. We believe dissemination of all chemistry research provides value to the community and therefore accept your research—whether sound science or novel and innovating research. Green and sustainable research is encouraged, as are proposals for themed collections and Letters to the Editor that discuss analysis of articles previously published in Essential Chem.
Essential Chem publishes twelve distinct yet multidisciplinary sections:
- Analytical & Environmental
- Biological & Medicinal
- Catalysis & Organometallic
- Chemical & Process Engineering
- Electrochemistry
- Inorganic
- Materials & Energy
- Food
- Organic
- Physical
- Polymer
- Theoretical & Computational
Each Section is overseen by a Section Editor and Editorial Board who are experts within the relevant disciplines. It is anticipated that authors may identify multiple suitable sections for their research, however authors will need to select their preferred section upon submission.
We encourage authors to deposit their manuscripts as a pre-print to speed up the dissemination of research, which allows for feedback before formal peer review. Deposition of your manuscript in a pre-print server will have no bearing on the peer review process and final decision made on your manuscript.
Authors who believe their manuscript would benefit from English editing prior to submission should seek a professional editing service or native English speaker. Details of editing services available from Taylor & Francis are available here.
Peer Review Statement
Essential Chem is an international, peer-reviewed journal publishing high quality, original research contributions in the pursuit of scientific knowledge. All manuscript submissions are subject to initial appraisal by the Section Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to single anonymized peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees.
Publishing Ethics Statement
Essential Chem adheres to the highest standards of publishing ethics, with rigorous processes in place to ensure this is achieved. Taylor & Francis is a member of Committee of Publication Ethics (COPE) and utilizes Similarity Check via CrossRef for all journals.
