About the journal
Aims and Scope
Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering is aimed at capturing current engineering developments and initiatives in the Asia-Pacific region. The journal publishes high quality papers and special topic issues in chemical-engineering related and specialised areas.
Publishing six times each year, the journal showcases innovative technological developments from the Asia-Pacific region, providing an opportunity for technology transfer and collaboration.
Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering will focus particular attention on the key areas of; Process Application (separation, polymer, catalysis, nanotechnology, ferrous metallurgy), Energy and Environmental Technology (natural resources, coal gasification, gas liquidation, air pollution control, water treatment, waste utilisation and management) and Food, Pharmaceutical & Bioengineering (biomaterials, bioprocess, biochemical engineering)
Formerly known as Developments in Chemical Engineering and Mineral Processing: The Australasian Research Journal, published by Curtin University of Technology in print only (ISSN:0969-1855).Readership
Readership will include researchers working in chemical or process engineering 鈥損articularly in the emerging areas of fluid mechanics, particle science and biotechnology, nanotechnology, catalysis and process systems engineering. The Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering is of interest to professional chemical engineers working in industries that involve chemical processes.

Instructions to Authors
Manuscript SubmissionAsia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering operates an online submission and peer review system that allows authors to submit manuscripts online and also to track their progress via a web interface. Please read the remainder of this instruction and then click http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/apjce to navigate to the journal online submission site. All papers must be submitted via the online system.
Manuscript TypesResearch Articles: Full-length research articles describe important new experimental results or theoretical research findings, which have special significance and general interest. They typically receive two or more reviews. The nominal length is 6000 words plus references. Each normal-sized figure or table contributes the equivalent of about 120 words to the word count.
Special Theme Research Articles: Special sections or issues may be devoted to timely symposia or to groups of invited papers on selected topics. Please see the 鈥淩esearch Articles鈥?section for rules pertaining to format and presentation.
R&D Notes are short reports that develop the essence of new experimental or theoretical concept or data. There is no abstract, but keywords are required. Notes should not exceed 2000 word count and usually receives a single review. Letters to the Editors are usually of two types. Letters commenting on previously published articles will generally be sent to the authors of those articles to provide an opportunity for a response prior to publication. Letters also concern with novel concepts or giving advance results that will subsequently be reported fully in a paper. Letters should normally be limited to 600 words and no more than 20 references.
Review Articles: Critical reviews of important areas of chemical engineering should discuss the background, state of the art, and current research problems requiring better understanding. Reviews of emerging areas and those that stimulate new research are particularly encouraged.
Book Reviews will generally be by invitation, and usually should not exceed three double-spaced pages. Book Reviews will be reviewed by the Editor.
Correlations are brief descriptions on the organization of existing information into useful and compact relationships where the mathematical framework may be empirical.
Manuscript PreparationFile types: Preferred formats for the text and tables are .doc, .rtf, .ppt, .xls. Figures may be provided in .tiff or .eps format. For LaTex users:
- Initial submission - upload an .eps or .pdf or .rtf created from your source files.
- Submission of a revised manuscript -You must upload an .eps, .pdf or .rtf for reviewing purposes. In addition you must upload your LaTeX source files.
Presentation of papers: All papers must be written in clear, concise English. For guidance, you may find it helpful to consult Writing a Scientific Paper and Speaking at a Scientific Meeting by V. Booth (Biochemical Society, 1981) and Writing Scientific Papers in English by M. O'Connor and F.P. Woodward (Elsevier, Amsterdam, 1976).
Non-English-speaking authors who do not have a good command of written scientific English are advised to seek the assistance of a native English speaker or English checking service before submission. A list of recommended English editing services is available at: http://www.wiley.co.jp/editservlist.html. For any queries please contact the Wiley Tokyo editorial office by fax on 81 35569763 or e-mail editorial@wiley.co.jp.
Title and Authors: The title should describe the contents fully but concisely without the use of abbreviations followed by full names and affiliations of all authors. Correspondence author should be indicated with an asterisk (*) and a footnote on the first page detailed with telephone/fax numbers and e-mail addresses.
Abstract of no more than 200 words describing the content and results of the paper.
Keywords contains no more than 6 keywords. A list of recommended keywords for authors can be found within the Practical Advice for Authors.
Text: Starting with the Introduction, the text should provide enough substantial information to enable the results to be verified. Attention must be especially paid to the innovative areas of the work. The text should be in single-column format. Keep the layout of the text as simple as possible. Do not import the figures into the text file but, instead, indicate their approximate locations in the text with numbers and captions. Figures should be uploaded as separate file.
Only SI quantities and units are to be used (SI = Syst猫me International d鈥橴nit茅s). A Notation section is not necessary if all symbols were defined in the text. This section should be placed at the end of the text and immediately before the references. Symbols cited should be listed alphabetically in the order of Roman symbols, letters, subscripts and superscripts. IUPAC nomenclature should be used when naming compounds (http://www.iupac.com).
References: Numbered references should be used. In text, the reference number should be typed in square brackets as superscripts after punctuation. Electronic pathways or Internet links should be included in the normal literature references. If possible, the Digital Object Identifier (DOI) for the reference should be included at the end of the reference.
