Progress in Reaction Kinetics and Mechanism

Progress in Reaction Kinetics & Mechanism is an international journal for the publication of both in-depth reviews and research articles. It covers the fields of kinetics and mechanisms of chemical processes in the gas phase and solution of both simple and complex systems.
Articles range from atomic and small molecule processes, from both experimental and theoretical viewpoints, extending to the areas of physical, organic and inorganic chemistry, and biochemical processes. Ground state and excited state chemistry are also covered from both experimental and theoretical aspects, the latter reflecting the growth in computational chemistry.
