Journal scope
Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions.
The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. All contributions, including computational ones, should be based on up-to-date approaches. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joint experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary.
PCCP Emerging Investigator Lectureship
This lectureship recognises early career researchers, who have made a significant contribution to physical chemistry, chemical physics, or biophysical chemistry, in their independent academic careers.
Nominations are currently open until 1 April 2025, with a new winner being announced mid 2025.

Article templates
To help authors publish their research with us we host our in the Overleaf authoring tool. Overleaf simplifies LaTeX authorship by enabling collaborators to easily prepare and edit their manuscripts with real-time format previewing, simple document sharing and collaboration, and user support and LaTeX help.
With one click, the PDF of your manuscript and a ZIP file of the LaTeX source files are sent directly to the PCCP submission system without the need to download and re-upload files, making the process quicker and easier.
A free is available to authors who are new to LaTeX and Overleaf. Our Microsoft Word templates are located in our author guidelines.
Journal specific guidelines
Papers that contain insufficient information to ensure reproducibility or material which actively promotes the interest of a process, instrument, software or other intellectual property of actual or potential commercial value will not be considered suitable for publication in PCCP.
For more information about experimental details and characterisation requirements, including details of computational methods, please see the 澳门六合彩开奖记录 experimental reporting requirements.
Open access publishing options
PCCP is a hybrid (transformative) journal and gives authors the choice of publishing their research either via the traditional subscription-based model or instead by choosing our gold open access option. Find out more about our Transformative Journals which are Plan S compliant.
Gold open access
For authors who want to publish their article gold open access, PCCP charges an article processing charge (APC) of £3,000 (+ any applicable tax). Our APC is all-inclusive and makes your article freely available online immediately, permanently, and includes your choice of Creative Commons licence (CC BY or CC BY-NC) at no extra cost. It is not a submission charge, so you only pay if your article is accepted for publication.
Learn more about publishing open access.
Read & Publish
If your institution has a Read & Publish agreement in place with the 澳门六合彩开奖记录, APCs for gold open access publishing in PCCP may already be covered.
Use our to check if your institution has an open access agreement with us.
Please use your official institutional email address to submit your manuscript and check you are assigned as the corresponding author; this helps us to identify if you are eligible for Read & Publish or other APC discounts.
Traditional subscription model
Authors can also publish in PCCP via the traditional subscription model without needing to pay an APC. Articles published via this route are available to institutions and individuals who subscribe to the journal. Our standard licence allows you to make the accepted manuscript of your article freely available after a 12-month embargo period. This is known as the green route to open access.
Readership information
PCCP has a large and international readership, which spans many communities in the broad fields of physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry.
