'''''Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics''''' (''PCCP'') is a [[peer review|peer-reviewed]] [[scientific journal]] publishing [[original research|original (primary) research]] and [[literature review|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 [[managing editor|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 2.892 and an [[immediacy index]] of 0.866.<ref>Journal Citation Reviews, 2007 </ref>
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|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 ''[[Royal Society of Chemistry#Publications|Chemical Science]]'', ''[[Royal Society of Chemistry#Publications|Chemical Technology]]'' and ''[[Royal Society of Chemistry#Publications|Chemical Biology]]''. ''PCCP'' hosts the RSC publication, ''[[Royal Society of Chemistry#Publications|Chemical Science]]''.
==Owner societies==
''PCCP'' is run by an Ownership Board, on which all the member societies have equal representation. The fourteen participating Societies are: [[Deutsche Bunsen-Gesellschaft für Physikalische Chemie]], [[Institute of Chemistry of Ireland]], [[Israel Chemical Society]], [[Kemisk Forening]], [[Koninklijke Nederlandse Chemische Vereniging]], [[Norsk Kjemisk Selskap]], [[Polskie Towarzystwo Chemiczne]], [[Real Sociedad Española de Química]], [[Royal Society of Chemistry]], [[Società Chimica Italiana]], [[Suomen Kemian Seura - Kemisk Sällskapet I Finland]], [[Svenska Kemistsamfundet]], the [[Swiss Chemical Society]] and the [[Türkiye Kimya Dernegi]].

==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'').
==Audience/readership==
Research workers in the fields of physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry in both academic institutions and industry.
