Progress In Reaction Kinetics And Mechanism

Journal Description

Progress in Reaction Kinetics & Mechanism is
an international journal for the quarterly publication of both in-depth reviews and research articles. In-depth reviews are comprehensive accounts bringing together work from many sources with the aim of providing an article of lasting value that will become established as the reference source in the particular subject. Research articles, on the other hand, normally focus on a relatively new or recently developed field or technique giving a state-of-the-art account of the subject and may well refer to a narrower range of existing work. 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.

Progress in Reaction Kinetics and Mechanism is published four times per year, for 2010 the subscription price is Print & Internet £490 ($980) Internet only £385 ($775).
