RSC Mechanochemistry Blog

Until now, there was no dedicated mechanochemistry journal. Research in this field was published across other journals, without a central home for the community to come together. The introduction of RSC Mechanochemistry changes this. For the first time, there is a dedicated journal, bringing together all discoveries in the field.

To make sure the journal becomes the home that the community wants and needs, RSC Mechanochemistry is led by experts in the community. Our editorial team, led by Editors-in-Chief James Batteas and Tomislav Friščić, is ready to handle your manuscripts. Supporting them is a great team of editorial board members. Have you met them yet? Get to know them here.

The journal will capture research across all areas of theoretical and experimental chemistry (organic, inorganic, polymer, supramolecular and biological) as well as related fields where mechanochemical processes are at work. It encompasses a range of areas, including sustainable synthesis, tribochemistry, chemo/mechanical transduction (e.g., polymer mechanochemistry, mechanobiology, photo-mechanochemistry), and mechanical alloying. Find out more about our scope here.

RSC Mechanochemistry is gold open access, so everyone can read your latest research for free. This will maximise the potential and visibility of your publications. We are also covering all article processing charges (APCs) until mid-2026, so it is currently free to publish with us. Find out more about gold open access.

As a society publisher, everything we do is to support the scientific community – so you can trust us to always act in your best interests, and get your work the international recognition that it deserves. Our publishing staff, all scientists, will guide you through the peer review and publication process. Peer review is supported by our associate editors, who are all active researchers in their field.
