Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal for the publication of original research papers, Invited Articles, Review Articles, Communications and Comments in the areas of physical chemistry, biophysical chemistry and chemical physics. The journal is published bimonthly. There is no page charge for articles published in PCCP.
1.1 Research Papers
Full papers contain original scientific work that has not been published previously. However, extension of work that has appeared in print in a short form such as a PCCP Communication or Chemical Communication is normally acceptable. There are no restrictions on the length of a paper.
The PCCP contents list is sectionalised using the following section headings:
1 Properties of Molecules
2Kinetics and Reaction Dynamics
3Statistical Mechanics and Thermodynamics
4Macromolecules and Soft Matter
5Nanosciences
6Interfaces, Electrochemistry
7Biophysical Chemistry
8Solids and Materials Science
9Catalysis
Authors should indicate at the time of submission which section is the most appropriate for their paper.
1.2 Invited Articles
Invited Articles are commissioned by the PCCP Editorial Board. Suggestions from readers for topics and authors of Invited Articles should be addressed to the Managing Editor, E-mail: pccp@rsc.org. Invited Articles are intended to be high profile articles of interest to a broad spectrum of research workers within the areas of physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. Whilst recognizing the wide readership of PCCP, authors should aspire to present an authoritative state-of-the-art account of the selected research field. Notes on the preparation of Invited Articles are available from the Managing Editor.
1.3 Review Articles
Review Articles are critical assessments of research in areas of current interest in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. Reviews should provide an in depth account of the selected topic but remain accessible to the general PCCP reader by providing a thorough introduction to the subject. The present level of understanding in the field should be discussed, along with the implications of recent developments and authors should aim to stimulate progress in the area. Reviews should conclude with a section on possible future prospects. Review Articles should consist of 5,000 to 10,000 words of text together with supporting figures and tables.
1.4 Communications
Communications contain either a complete study or a preliminary report but in either case must contain original and highly significant work whose interest to the PCCP readership and high novelty warrants rapid publication. Authors should supply with their submission a justification of why the work merits urgent publication as a Communication. Referees will be asked to judge the work on these grounds. Communications are given high visibility within the journal; they are published at the front of an issue in a separate section from the full paper subject categories and are the only article type to have graphical abstracts. Communications will not normally exceed the length of four printed journal pages, however, exceptions may be made at the Editor's discretion. Full papers based on Communications will be acceptable provided that they represent a substantial extension of the original material.
1.5 Comments
Comments are a medium for the discussion and exchange of scientific opinions, normally concerning material published in PCCP. Comments will normally be forwarded to the authors of the work being discussed, and these authors will be given the opportunity to submit a Reply for publication together with the Comment. For publication of a Comment or a Reply, they must be judged by the referees to present new insights and be of interest to the PCCP readership. Comments and Replies will be reviewed in the normal way, but additional referees will be consulted if there is an unresolved disagreement between correspondents, or where there is doubt as to the significance of the Comment or Reply. Comments will not normally exceed a length of one printed journal page. Publication will take place only when all parties have had an opportunity to respond appropriately.
1.6 Submission of Articles
Articles should be submitted using the RSC file-upload service: www.rsc.org/submissions
Before submission authors are encouraged to check the RSC Reviews web site to ensure that they have cited relevant recent reviews: www.rsc.org/reviews
On submitting their manuscripts, authors are encouraged to supply the names and addresses of 2? potential referees. Owing to the non-availability of many referees and editorial staff in July–August each year, authors are advised to limit their submissions during this period in order to minimize delays.
Rapid publication is aided by careful preparation of text and illustrations. Particular attention is drawn to the use of (i) SI units and associated conventions, (ii) IUPAC nomenclature for compounds and (iii) standard methods of literature citation.
Ideally, articles should be submitted as a single MS Word file or PDF with figures embedded. This file will be used for online refereeing where possible and allows manuscripts to be handled more accurately and efficiently by the Editorial Office.
The RSC e-submission service allows any number of files to be uploaded. All files relating to a single manuscript should be uploaded simultaneously during one transaction. Files uploaded separately will result in more than one manuscript number being assigned and may subsequently be lost. The following information should be provided:
(a) The manuscript as a single MS Word file or PDF with figures embedded
(b) Crystallographic data in CIF format, if applicable
(c) Data for deposition with the ESI service, if applicable
(d) The most appropriate section heading of the PCCP contents list
(e) Details of any relevant preliminary Communications (please give reference or include PDF file)
(f) Names of potential referees
(g) Copies of any  in press or submitted to references
(h) For Communications, a justification of why the work merits urgent publication
(i) For Communications, a graphical contents entry should be provided on submission of the manuscript. This should include: Graphic: maximum size 8cm x 4 cm. Text: one sentence no longer than 20 words, highlighting the novel aspects of the work. The text provided may be rewritten to maintain the journal style
(j) For Comments, details of the original PCCP paper being commented upon
All authors submitting work for publication are required to agree a Licence to Publish. Authors will be asked to agree a Licence to Publish online. Alternatively the form at www.rsc.org/pdf/pccp/pccp_copy.pdf should be forwarded to the Editorial Office.
After submission your file will be acknowledged by the Editorial Office as soon possible. Authors should contact the Editorial Office if they have not received an acknowledgement within 4 working days. Authors should not forward more than one version of their manuscript or submit the manuscript by post or e-mail to avoid errors in manuscript handling by the Editorial Office.
1.7 Requirements for Revised Articles and Material for Proof Preparation
Revised manuscripts should be sent to the Editorial Office by file-upload: www.rsc.org/submissions.
Please note that when an article is accepted for publication, a Microsoft Word or LaTex (or similar native format) version of the manuscript will be required for proof preparation. For other word processors, save the file as Rich Text Format (.rtf) if possible. Please supply the text file as unjustified, ranged left, and without end-of-line hyphenation. Auto-referencing features that bury references within the text should not be used. Please include any tables at the end of the text file, and use either the word processor's table editor or tabs for formatting (but not a mixture of the two).
Separate copies of the artwork in TIFF, EPS or PDF formats with greater than 600dpi resolution are required. It would be helpful if PDF graphics were produced using the "PDF Creation Files" job options from our website: www.rsc.org/is/journals/templates/templates.htm.
Chemical structure diagrams may be submitted as CS ChemDraw (saved as filename.cdx), ChemWindows (saved as filename.chm) or ISIS/Draw files (exported as filename.tgf).
Unfortunately PDF files containing text and encapsulated figures are not suitable for proof preparation.
Please check the manuscript carefully for consistency, particularly in the representation of chemical formulae, compound names and words with alternative spellings.
Successful use of your electronic files should speed up the production process and avoid errors being introduced. Authors should ensure that files submitted at this stage contain the final version of their manuscript. Proof corrections should only correct errors from the Production process and should not be used to make general changes to the text.
We will try to use the supplied data in our production process, but mathematical equations and tables in particular may be re-keyed by the typesetter. It is imperative that authors check their proofs (including any tabulated data and figures) very carefully. Papers are published as advance Articles on the web as soon as possible after the return of proof corrections. Late corrections cannot be incorporated after publication of the Advance Article.
