Chemical Engineering Journal

The Chemical Engineering Journal (Chem. Eng. J., ISSN 1385-8947) is a leading international research journal published by Elsevier that serves as a premier platform for the dissemination of innovative and impactful findings across the broad spectrum of chemical engineering. Its scope encompasses both fundamental and applied aspects of the discipline, with a particular emphasis on novel chemical reactors, reaction engineering, separation processes, and the development of advanced materials. The journal actively publishes on emerging topics such as environmental and sustainable engineering, electrochemical energy conversion and storage, photocatalysis, and the engineering of nanomaterials and biomaterials. The primary article types include full-length original research papers, comprehensive review articles, and short communications that report urgent and significant advances. The target audience is multidisciplinary, including academic researchers, industrial R&D professionals, and graduate students working in chemical, environmental, materials, and energy engineering. Although not an open access journal by default, it offers an open access option (hybrid model) for authors who wish to make their work freely available. The Chemical Engineering Journal holds an exceptionally strong standing in the field, consistently ranked in the Q1 quartile of the JCR category for Engineering, Chemical. With a remarkable 2026 Impact Factor of 15.100, it is widely recognized as one of the most prestigious and highest-impact journals in its category, routinely publishing work that sets the direction for both academic research and industrial practice in chemical engineering and related technologies.
