Description:
Journal of Catalysis is the premier scholarly publication in the field of
catalysis and an indispensable source of information
for chemists and chemical engineers in both industrial and academic fields. Over the last decade,
Journal of Catalysis has been
ranked among the top five
chemical engineering journals in terms of impact and relevance. During this period, it has published
some of the most important contributions to
physical chemistry and the science and applications of catalysis.
Journal
of Catalysis publishes original, rigorous, and scholarly contributions in the fields of
heterogeneous catalysis and
homogeneous
catalysis. These include studies that relate
catalytic function to fundamental chemical processes at surfaces and in
metal
complexes, novel concepts in
surface chemistry, the
synthesis and catalytic function of novel
inorganic solids
and
complexes, spectroscopic methods for structural characterization, and theoretical methods of direct interest and impact in
the science and applications of
catalysts and
catalytic processes.
Journal of Catalysis publishes manuscripts
of archival value because of their significant fundamental and conceptual contributions to our understanding and practice of catalytic
chemistries. The journal features authoritative articles, priority communications, research notes, and letters to the
Editors.
Journal of Catalysis also publishes Priority Communications and Research Notes. Priority
Communications contain unique, exciting, and novel results that provide compelling evidence for rapid publication; while results in such
communications may be of a preliminary nature, experimental details must be fully documented and the results reliably reproduced. Research
Notes typically contain data and concepts that resolve in a concise but rigorous manner issues raised in previous publications.
