Journal of New Developments in Chemistry considers original research, reviews, short communications and technical notes that make a clear, supported advance in chemical knowledge, methods, materials, measurement or molecular-level explanation. In every case, chemistry must be the central scholarly contribution.

Research areas connect fundamental and applied chemistry. Coverage also includes natural products and food chemistry; forensic and toxicological chemistry; industrial, process and formulation chemistry; and supramolecular, surface and interface chemistry. The scientific contribution determines fit; these examples are not exhaustive. Consult Aims and Scope for detailed coverage and interdisciplinary boundaries.
Organic and synthetic chemistry
Organic reactions, synthetic methodology, reagents, stereochemistry, catalysis, natural-product synthesis, and nucleoside, carbohydrate and heterocyclic chemistry.
Inorganic and coordination chemistry
Main-group, transition-metal, organometallic, coordination, cluster and bioinorganic chemistry, including synthesis, bonding, speciation, metal–ligand interactions and reactivity.
Physical chemistry and spectroscopy
Thermodynamics, equilibria, kinetics, reaction mechanisms, electrochemistry, photochemistry, spectroscopy, chemical dynamics and molecular interactions.
Analytical chemistry and measurement science
Separation science, chromatography, mass spectrometry, spectroscopy, electroanalysis, chemical sensors and biosensors, including substantive bioanalytical and pharmaceutical method development and validation.
Materials, polymer and nanochemistry
Synthesis, composition and chemical characterization of functional solids, polymers, nanomaterials, porous frameworks, composites and biomaterials, including structure–property relationships.
Computational and theoretical chemistry
Quantum chemistry, electronic-structure theory, molecular simulation, statistical mechanics, chemoinformatics and data-driven methods addressing chemical questions with appropriate verification or validation.
Medicinal chemistry and chemical biology
Medicinal and pharmaceutical chemistry, molecular biochemistry, molecular design and synthesis, structure–activity relationships, chemical probes, enzyme chemistry and molecular toxicology. Biological evaluation may support the chemical advance.
Energy, environment and sustainable chemistry
Energy conversion and storage, hydrogen chemistry, electrocatalysis, corrosion, pollutant fate and remediation, green synthesis, renewable feedstocks and resource recovery.
Clinical outcomes, patient-care protocols, epidemiological surveys and diagnostic-performance studies are outside scope when their principal contribution is medical and lacks substantive chemical or analytical development. Chemistry-led biomedical research may fit; a complete molecular mechanism is not required for every study.
How a manuscript is handled, what it is judged on, and the terms under
which an accepted article is published.
Screening
All submissions undergo initial editorial screening. Manuscripts that meet the journal's scope and minimum requirements proceed to independent peer review.
Peer review
Single-blind by default; double-blind review is available on request.
Reviewers
Manuscripts that proceed to external peer review are normally evaluated by at least two independent subject-matter experts.
Decision criteria
Editorial decisions are based on scope, scientific quality, methodological rigor, ethical compliance, reporting quality, and relevance to the journal. Decisions are independent of fees, membership, or any role held
at the journal.

Access
Open access. Free to read from the day of publication, with no
subscription and no reader charge.
Data availability
Every empirical research manuscript must include a
data-availability statement.
Corrections and retractions
Corrections, expressions of concern and
retractions are published as citable, linked notices, and the original article
remains available.
