Scope

Green ÀË»¨Ö±²¥ provides a unique forum for the publication of innovative research on the development of alternative green and sustainable technologies. 

The scope of Green ÀË»¨Ö±²¥ is based on, but not limited to, the definition proposed by Anastas and Warner (Green ÀË»¨Ö±²¥: Theory and Practice, P T Anastas and J C Warner, Oxford University Press, Oxford, 1998). Green chemistry is the utilisation of a set of principles that reduces or eliminates the use or generation of hazardous substances in the design, manufacture and application of chemical products.

Green ÀË»¨Ö±²¥ is at the frontiers of this continuously-evolving interdisciplinary science and publishes research that attempts to reduce the environmental impact of the chemical enterprise by developing a technology base that is inherently non-toxic to living things and the environment. Submissions on all aspects of research relating to the endeavour are welcome.

The journal publishes original and significant cutting-edge research that is likely to be of wide general appeal. To be published, work must present a significant advance in green chemistry. Papers must contain a comparison with existing methods and demonstrate advantages over those methods before publication can be considered. For more information please .

Coverage includes the following, but is not limited to:

  • Design (eg, biomimicry, design for degradation/recycling/reduced toxicity)
  • Reagents & Feedstocks (eg, renewables, CO2, solvents, auxiliary agents, waste utilization)
  • Synthesis (eg, organic, inorganic, synthetic biology…)
  • Catalysis (eg, homogeneous, heterogeneous, enzyme, whole cell)
  • Process (eg, process design, intensification, separations, recycling, efficiency)
  • Energy (eg. renewable energy, fuels, photovoltaics, fuel cells, energy storage, energy carriers…)
  • Applications (eg, electronics, dyes, consumer products, coatings, pharmaceuticals, preservatives, building materials, chemicals for industry/agriculture/mining)
  • Impact (eg. safety, metrics, LCA, sustainability, (eco)toxicology)

Green chemistry is, by definition, a continuously-evolving frontier. Therefore, the inclusion of a particular material or technology does not, of itself, guarantee that a paper is suitable for the journal. To be suitable, the novel advance should have the potential for reduced environmental impact relative to the state of the art. Green ÀË»¨Ö±²¥ does not normally deal with research associated with 'end-of-pipe' or remediation issues.

Occasionally the Editors may decide to publish something outside the defined scope of the journal if the work would be of interest to the green chemistry community and/or have the potential to shape the field.

Readership

The journal appeals to a broad international readership spanning many communities, including all academic and industrial scientists interested in the development of alternative sustainable technologies.
