Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is a peer-reviewed scientific journal publishing original (primary) research and review articles on any aspect of physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. It is published weekly by the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) on behalf of fourteen participating societies.
Philip Earis is the editor of PCCP and the present chairman of the Editorial Board is Bert Weckhuysen, Professor in Inorganic Chemistry and Catalysis at Utrecht University in The Netherlands. The Editorial Board comprises leading international scientists who meet regularly to discuss all scientific matters concerned with the Journal; in particular the standards necessary for the acceptance of papers for publication, the standards of refereeing, and ways and means of acquiring suitable papers for publication.
PCCP replaced Faraday Transactions in 1999; it continues a close association with the Faraday Division of the RSC and the unique Faraday Discussions meetings and publications.
PCCP has an impact factor of 2.52 and an immediacy index of 0.762.[1]
Biophysical chemistry is a rapidly expanding area of physical chemistry, and biophysical papers are an important part of PCCP. PCCP has been selected by the US National Library of Medicine for inclusion in MEDLINE, thereby increasing its visibility to the biophysical and biological communities. Significant and newsworthy articles appearing in PCCP are also featured in the RSC supplements Chemical Science, Chemical Technology and Chemical Biology. PCCP hosts the RSC publication, Chemical Science.

[edit] Article types
PCCP publishes the following types of articles: Research Papers (which contain original scientific work that has not been published previously); Invited Articles (which are high profile review articles of interest to a broad readership and are commissioned by the PCCP Editorial Board); Communications (which contain original scientific work that has not been published previously and is of an urgent nature); and Comments (which are a medium for the discussion and exchange of scientific opinions, normally concerning material published in PCCP).
[edit] Audience/readership
Research workers in the fields of physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry in both academic institutions and industry.
