JPPA publishes the results of fundamental studies on all aspects of chemical phenomena induced by interactions between light and molecules/matter
of all kinds.
All systems capable of being described at the molecular or integrated multimolecular level are appropriate for the
journal. This includes all molecular chemical species as well as biomolecular, supramolecular, polymer and other macromolecular systems.
In addition, the journal publishes studies of semiconductor and other photoactive organic and inorganic materials.
The scope includes
condensed and gas phase photochemistry, as well as synchrotron radiation chemistry. A broad range of processes and techniques in photochemistry
are covered such as light induced energy, electron and proton transfer; nonlinear photochemical behavior; mechanistic investigation of
photochemical reactions and identification of the products of photochemical reactions; quantum yield determinations and measurements
of rate constants for primary and secondary photochemical processes; steady-state and time-resolved emission, ultrafast spectroscopic
methods, single molecule spectroscopy, time resolved X-ray diffraction, luminescence microscopy, and scattering spectroscopy applied
to photochemistry. Papers in emerging and applied areas such as luminescent sensors, solar energy conversion, atmospheric photochemistry,
environmental remediation, and related photocatalytic chemistry are also welcome.
JPPA publishes Regular Articles, Invited Feature
Articles, and Short Notes. Regular Articles allow for a complete overview of research results. Specialist researchers will be occasionally
invited by Editors to write Invited Feature Articles. Invited Feature Articles are intended to present an overview of the author's recent
work in relation to other published research in the field, and are not intended to be a comprehensive overview of a particular sub-discipline.
Short Notes are 2-page papers with relevant new results, data or technical reports that are important to the photochemistry community.
Papers that are only minor extensions of previous work or contain mainly descriptions of the synthesis of molecules or materials
without a detailed photochemistry study will not be accepted for publication.
Prospective authors of review articles are kindly advised
to consult the Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology C: Photochemistry Reviews and follow manuscript preparation instructions as
described at
