Journal of New Developments in Chemistry
The Journal of New Developments in Chemistry (JNDC) (ISSN 2377-2549) is a peer-reviewed, open access platform dedicated to advancing the molecular sciences through rigorous publication of innovative research spanning chemical synthesis, reaction mechanisms, materials engineering, spectroscopy, and computational chemistry. JNDC connects experimental chemists, theoreticians, and applied researchers working at the forefront of chemical discovery.
Mission: Accelerating Chemical Innovation Through Open Science
JNDC is committed to disseminating high-quality chemical research that expands fundamental understanding and enables practical applications across pharmaceuticals, energy systems, environmental remediation, and advanced materials. Our editorial philosophy emphasizes methodological rigor, reproducible protocols, and rapid publication workflows that respect researchers' timelines while maintaining peer review integrity.
Operating under Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY 4.0) licensing, JNDC ensures unrestricted access to chemical knowledge globally. We publish multidisciplinary content integrating organic synthesis, inorganic coordination chemistry, physical chemistry, theoretical modeling, and analytical techniques to illuminate structure-function relationships and catalytic mechanisms.

Editorial & Peer Review Process
1. Submission & Initial Screening
Manuscripts submitted via online portal or email undergo scope evaluation and plagiarism screening using iThenticate to ensure originality.
2. Editor Assignment
Associate editor with subdiscipline expertise is assigned to manage peer review logistics and quality assessment.
3. Expert Peer Review
Independent reviewers evaluate methodological soundness, reproducibility, spectroscopic validation, and significance of chemical findings.
4. Editorial Decision
Editors synthesize reviewer feedback to recommend acceptance, revision, or rejection with constructive guidance for authors.
5. Author Revisions
Authors address reviewer concerns through revised manuscripts, supplementary data, or point-by-point responses to critiques.
6. Final Acceptance & Production
Accepted manuscripts enter copyediting, author proof approval, and digital publication within 72 hours of final acceptance.
Manuscript Preparation Guidelines
Required Sections: Title, Author List, Affiliations, Abstract (≤250 words), Introduction, Experimental Methods, Results & Discussion, Conclusions, Acknowledgments (optional), References.

Comprehensive instructions available on the Instructions for Authors page.
Submission Pathways
Online Submission
Authors can submit manuscripts through the streamlined Manuscript Zone portal, enabling real-time tracking, revision uploads, and communication with editorial staff. This system expedites processing and provides transparency throughout the review cycle.
Email Submission
For alternative workflows, authors may submit via email to [email protected] with manuscript files, cover letter, and graphical abstract. Editorial staff will acknowledge receipt within 48 hours and guide subsequent steps.
Article Processing Charges & Access Equity
To sustain high-quality open access publication infrastructure, JNDC levies Article Processing Charges (APCs) upon manuscript acceptance. This model ensures readers worldwide access content without subscription barriers.
JNDC offers APC waivers and discounts for authors from low-income countries, early-career researchers, and unfunded projects. Waiver requests are evaluated confidentially on a case-by-case basis to ensure financial constraints do not impede dissemination of scientifically meritorious work.
Detailed APC information, waiver eligibility criteria, and institutional membership options are available on the APC Information Page.
