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]]. ==Subject coverage== ;PCCP publishes articles on the following topics: :[[biophysical techniques|biophysical chemistry]] :[[chemisorption]] and [[heterogeneous catalysis]] :[[cluster chemistry|clusters]] :[[colloid]] and [[surface and interfacial chemistry|interface science]] :[[computational biology]] :[[computational chemistry]] and [[molecular dynamics]] :[[electrochemistry]] :[[energy transfer]] and relaxation processes :gas-phase [[chemical kinetics|kinetics]] and dynamics :laser-induced chemistry :[[liquid|liquids and solutions]] :[[materials science]] :molecular beam kinetics and spectroscopy :[[nanoscience]]s :[[photochemistry]] and photophysics :physical chemistry of [[macromolecule]]s and [[polymer]]s :[[physisorption]] and [[chromatography|chromatographic science]] :[[quantum chemistry]] and molecular structure :[[radiation chemistry]] :reactions in [[condensed phase]]s :[[solid-state chemistry]] (microstructures and dynamics) :[[spectroscopy]] of molecules and gas-phase complexes :spectroscopy, [[statistical mechanics]] and quantum theory of the condensed phase :[[statistical mechanics]] of gaseous molecules and complexes :[[surface chemistry|surface science]] :[[thermodynamics]] :[[zeolite]]s and [[ion exchange|ion-exchange phenomena]] ==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. ==See also== *[[List of scientific journals in chemistry]] *[[List of scientific journals]] *[[Annual Reports Section C]] ==References== <references/> ==External links== *[http://www.rsc.org/Publishing/Journals/CP/index.asp PCCP homepage] *[http://www.rsc.org/Gateway/Subject/Physical RSC Physical Chemistry Gateway] *[http://www.rsc.org/Membership/Networking/InterestGroups/FaradayDivision/index.asp RSC Faraday Division] *[http://www.rsc.org/Publishing/ RSC Publishing homepage] [[Category:chemistry journals]] [[Category:Royal Society of Chemistry]]
