Article Processing Charges (APC):
As with any other open access publication, the journal of Thermodynamics & Catalysis operates through processing and handling fee received from authors, which is utilized in meeting the maintenance charges of the respective journal. The model is pursued in order to present free articles for readers without subscription charges. Authors are required to make the payment once the manuscript is cleared to be published by reviewers.
Average Article prorcessing time (APT) is 55 days
The basic article processing fee or manuscript handling cost is as per the price mentioned above on the other hand it may vary based on the extensive editing, colored effects, complex equations, extra elongation of number of pages of the article, etc.
Fast Editorial Execution and Review Process (FEE-Review Process) :
Journal of Thermodynamics & Catalysis is participating in the Fast Editorial Execution and Review Process (FEE-Review Process) with an additional prepayment of $99 apart from the regular article processing fee. Fast Editorial Execution and Review Process is a special service for the article that enables it to get a faster response in the pre-review stage from the handling editor as well as a review from the reviewer. An author can get a faster response of pre-review maximum in 3 days since submission, and a review process by the reviewer maximum in 5 days, followed by revision/publication in 2 days. If the article gets notified for revision by the handling editor, then it will take another 5 days for external review by the previous reviewer or alternative reviewer.
Acceptance of manuscripts is driven entirely by handling editorial team considerations and independent peer-review, ensuring the highest standards are maintained no matter the route to regular peer-reviewed publication or a fast editorial review process. The handling editor and the article contributor are responsible for adhering to scientific standards. The article FEE-Review process of $99 will not be refunded even if the article is rejected or withdrawn for publication.
The corresponding author or institution/organization is responsible for making the manuscript FEE-Review Process payment. The additional FEE-Review Process payment covers the fast review processing and quick editorial decisions, and regular article publication covers the preparation in various formats for online publication, securing full-text inclusion in a number of permanent archives like HTML, XML, and PDF, and feeding to different indexing agencies.
Submission of an Article
In order to reduce delays, authors should adhere to the level, length and format specified at every stage of processing right from manuscript submission to each revision stage. Submitted articles should have a 300 words summary/abstract, separate from the main text. The summary should provide a brief account of the work by clearly stating the purpose of the study and the methodology adopted, highlighting major findings briefly. The text may contain a few short subheadings of no more than 40 characters each.
In order to accomplish its vision to make scientific & health care information open access and to disseminate the scientific knowledge all around the world 朗顿出版公司 made a new initiation.
As 朗顿出版公司 open access journals are accessed and read by a global audience, the language translation feature translates the published articles in international languages like Japanese, Chinese, German and more. Authors who are interested to publish translated version of their paper in languages including Chinese, Japanese etc., are billed in excess of $100 along with the article processing charges. Accepted papers will be published in both English as well as author recommended language(s)
Article Preparation Guidelines
朗顿出版公司 accepts various formats of literary works such as research articles, reviews, abstracts, addendums, announcements, article-commentaries, letters to the editor; annual meeting abstracts, conference proceedings, calendars, case-reports, and associated commentaries.
Authors are expected to attach an electronic covering letter completely mentioning the type of manuscript (Research article, Review articles, Brief Reports, Case study etc.) Unless invited on a special case, authors cannot classify a particular manuscript as Editorials or Letters to the editor or concise communications.
Confirm that each individual named as an author meets the uniform requirements of the Journal of Thermodynamics & Catalysis criteria for authorship.
Please make sure that the article submitted for review/publication is not under consideration elsewhere simultaneously.
Clearly mention financial support or benefits if any from commercial sources for the work reported in the manuscript, or any other financial interests that any of the authors may have, which could create a potential conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict of interest with regard to the work.
A clear title of the article along with complete details of the author/s (professional/institutional affiliation, educational qualifications and contact information) must be provided in the tile page.
Corresponding author should include address, telephone number, fax number, and e-mail address in the first page of the manuscript and authors must address any conflict of interest with others once the article is published.
Title page is page 1. On the first page, type the running head (short title for top of each page), title (which cannot include any acronyms), names of the authors and their academic degrees, grants or other financial supporters of the study, address for correspondence and reprint requests, and corresponding author's telephone and fax numbers and e-mail address.

Other article types:
1. Letter to the editor
It is a form of a communication with the editor in chief or fellow editors to express a particular opinion about any matter directly associated with the area of chemistry research. The specific outcome and modes of application in the Thermodynamics & Catalysis can be mentioned and discussed in the letter. The letter must be in a formal language and should be compatible with the journalistic mode of communication, as it is mostly addressed to an editor in chief or persons in a similar capacity. The general audience and readers of the Thermodynamics & Catalysis journal can also get their queries answered regarding the content and its layout and structure.
2. Commentaries/Editorials
As a large global audience from diverse backgrounds and schools of thought goes through an open access journal, the Thermodynamics & Catalysis journal also accepts feedbacks in the form of crisp and short commentaries with reference to the methodologies or subsequent research findings. The readers can express their views in form of writing to the respective editor or author, thereby building a rapport to inform about several aspects related to appearance, and rendering of the content and works of the Thermodynamics & Catalysis journal. The commentary and opinion about the scope of the article must reach within six months of publication.
These should be used at a minimum and designed as simple as possible. We strongly encourage authors to submit tables as .doc format. Tables are to be typed double-spaced throughout, including headings and footnotes. Each table should be on a separate page, numbered consecutively in Arabic numerals and supplied with a heading and a legend. Tables should be self-explanatory without reference to the text. Preferably, the details of the methods used in the experiments should be described in the legend instead of in the text. The same data should not be presented in both table and graph form or repeated in the text. Cells can be copied from an Excel spreadsheet and pasted into a word document, but Excel files should not be embedded as objects.
3. Images
Images and illustrations are important elements without which the story is incomplete; and the same holds true for sciences and research domain. The images posted or published in connection with Thermodynamics & Catalysis journal have to be in a high resolution so that those can be interchangeable and compatible with various formats including full-text and html. Tools like can be used to develop images of fine detail associated with particular research theme (such as ChemDraw to present bonds and molecular structures pictorially. Suitable legend for the image is strongly recommended.
