Aims & Scope
Since its launch in 1946 by P. M. Doty, H. Mark, and C.C. Price, the Journal of Polymer Science has provided a continuous forum for the dissemination of thoroughly peer-reviewed, fundamental, international research into the preparation and properties of macromolecules. From January 2020, the Journal of Polymer Science, Part A: Polymer Chemistry and Journal of Polymer Science, Part B: Polymer Physics will be published as one journal, the Journal of Polymer Science. The merged journal will reflect the nature of today's polymer science research, with physics and chemistry of polymer systems at the heart of the scope. You can continue looking forward to an exciting mix of comprehensive reviews, visionary insights, high-impact communications, and full papers that represent the rapid multidisciplinary developments in polymer science. Our editorial team consists of a mix of well-known academic editors and full-time professional editors who ensure fast, professional peer review of your contribution. After publication, our team will work to ensure that your paper receives the recognition it deserves by your peers and the broader scientific community.
