Focus and Scope

Aims and Scope of BCREC Journal

Bulletin of Chemical Reaction Engineering & Catalysisa reputable international journal, provides a forum for publishing the novel technologies related to the catalyst, catalysis, chemical reactor, kinetics, and chemical reaction engineering. Scientific articles dealing with the following topics in chemical reaction engineering, catalysis science, and engineering, catalyst preparation method and characterization, novel innovation of chemical reactor, kinetic studies, etc. are particularly welcome. However, articles concerned on the general chemical engineering process are not covered and out of the scope of this journal.

This journal encompasses Original Research Articles, Review Articles (only selected/invited authors), and Short Communications, including:

  • fundamentals of catalyst and catalysis; 
  • materials and nano-materials for catalyst; 
  • chemistry of catalyst and catalysis; 
  • surface chemistry of catalyst;
  • applied catalysis; 
  • applied bio-catalysis; 
  • applied chemical reaction engineering; 
  • catalyst regeneration;
  • catalyst deactivation;
  • photocatalyst and photocatalysis;
  • electrocatalysis for fuel cell application;
  • applied bio-reactor; 
  • membrane bioreactor; 
  • fundamentals of chemical reaction engineering;
  • kinetics studies of chemical reaction engineering;
  • chemical reactor design (not process parameter optimization); 
  • enzymatic catalytic reaction (not process parameter optimization); 
  • kinetic studies of enzymatic reaction (not process parameter optimization);
  • the industrial practice of catalyst; 
  • the industrial practice of chemical reactor engineering; 
  • application of plasma technology in catalysis and chemical reactor; and
  • advanced technology for chemical reactors design.

However, articles concerned about the "General Chemical Engineering Process Development" are not covered and out of the scope of this journal.

As Bulletin of Chemical Reaction Enginering & Catalysis is a fully open access journal, your paper will be available to anyone, at anytime, anywhere in the world.

Peer Review Process / Policy

All manuscripts submitted to this journal (Bulletin of Chemical Reaction Engineering & Catalysis) must follow Focus and Scope and Author Guidelines of this journal. The submitted manuscripts must fulfill scientific merit and/or novelty or new contribution to knowledge appropriate to the focus and scope of this journal

All manuscripts submitted to this journal must be written in good English. Authors for whom English is not their native language are encouraged to have their paper checked before submission for grammar and clarity. English language and copyediting services can be provided by International Science Editing and Asia Science Editing. The work must not have been published or submitted for publication elsewhere. 

All submitted manuscripts must be free from plagiarism content. All authors are suggested to use plagiarism detection software to do the similarity checking (please use Turnitin or iThenticate to check the similarity). Editors will also check the similarity of manuscripts in this journal by using a Turnitin or iThenticate software.

The submitted manuscripts to this journal will be peer-reviewed at least 2 (two) or more expert reviewers from Peer-Reviewers Team. The reviewers give scientific valuable comments improving the contents of the manuscript. Sometimes (if required) a third peer-reviewer is needed to give critical comments to the submitted manuscript. The review process used in this journal is a blind review system.

The final decision of manuscript acceptance is solely made by Editor in Chief and/or Regional/Associate (Handling) Editor (together with Editorial Board, if required) according to reviewers' critical comments. The final decision of the manuscript is solely based on the Editor's final review which considering peer-reviewers comments (but not solely by Reviewer).

Publication of accepted articles including assigning the article to the published issues will be made by Editor in Chief by considering the sequence of accepted date and geographical distribution of authors as well as a thematic issue.
