Indonesian Journal of Chemistry is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal that publishes original research articles, review articles, as well as short communication in all areas of basic and applied chemistry. Indonesian Journal of Chemistry covers the following topics. Organic ChemistryPhysical and Theoretical ChemistryInorganic ChemistryAnalytical ChemistryMaterials ChemistryPolymer ChemistrySupramolecular ChemistryOrganometallic ChemistryCoordination ChemistryBiomolecular ChemistryNatural Products and Medicinal ChemistryElectrochemistryEnvironmental Chemistry The submitted manuscript should have relevance with basic and applied chemistry. Papers dealing with environmental sciences, technological applications, or natural product-derived compounds without any significance to the basic understanding of molecules or materials are not acceptable. Routine synthesis of molecules or materials without presenting significant new synthetic routes, structural parameters, and/or potential applications are not welcomed in this journal. Molecular docking results must be accompanied by either extensive quantum-chemical based calculations, molecular dynamics simulations, or experimental work. Note that Chemical Engineering and Chemical Education papers are out of scope from this journal.
