Aims & Scope

Aims

ChemEngineering (ISSN 2305-7084) is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal covering the broad field of Chemical Engineering. The journal integrates chemistry, physics, life sciences, mathematics, economics, and emerging digital technologies to advance the design, modelling, optimization, and sustainable operation of processes and systems for the production, transformation, separation, transport, and efficient use of chemicals, materials, and energy. Our aim is to encourage scientists and engineers to disseminate high-quality experimental, theoretical, and computational advances in chemical engineering and related fields by publishing their findings with comprehensive detail and scientific rigour so that results can be reproduced. Communications, comprehensive research, and perspective and review papers are acceptable formats for manuscript submission, other article types may also be considered

MDPI Publication Ethics Statement

MDPI is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). MDPI takes the responsibility to enforce a rigorous peer-review together with strict ethical policies and standards to ensure to add high quality scientific works to the field of scholarly publication. Unfortunately, cases of plagiarism, data falsification, inappropriate authorship credit, and the like, do arise. MDPI takes such publishing ethics issues very seriously and our editors are trained to proceed in such cases with a zero tolerance policy. To verify the originality of content submitted to our journals, we use iThenticate to check submissions against previous publications.
