PCCP themed issue: call for papers
PCCP themed issue: Astrochemistry of Dust, Ice and Gas
Guest Editor: Wendy Brown (University of Sussex)
PCCP is delighted to announce a high-profile themed issue ‘Astrochemistry of Dust, Ice and Gas’. It is our pleasure to invite you to submit an original research article for this themed issue.
The themed issue will be published in Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) in 2014. It will receive great exposure, and get significant promotion, including promotion at Faraday Discussion 168, which will also cover the astrochemistry of dust, ice and gas, in April 2014, Leiden, The Netherlands.
PCCP is a high-impact, community spanning, international journal publishing work of the highest quality in the broad fields of physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry.
Deadline for Submissions: 27th September 2013
- Manuscripts can be submitted in any reasonable format using our online submissions service
- Submissions should be high quality manuscripts of original, unpublished research and must contain new physical insight
- Communications and full papers can be submitted for consideration, which will be subject to rigorous peer review
- Please indicate upon submission that your manuscript is intended for this themed issue
Please contact the PCCP Editorial Office to let us know you plan to contribute an article.
The young interdisciplinary science of Astrochemistry, lying at the interface of Astronomy, Astrophysics, Physics and Chemistry, has become a critical science in not only elucidating the products, mechanisms and rates of the chemistry that dominates the Universe but also for determining the physical properties of the molecular gas clouds that form stars and planets. Therefore, it is timely to publish a themed collection in PCCP on this emerging and exciting area of research. It is envisaged that the themed collection will bring together work from leading computational and experimental scientists, astronomers, chemists and biologists that addresses the cyclic role of dust in the chemical evolution of the Universe.
