Aim & Scope

Journal of the Turkish Chemical Society, Section A: Chemistry (JOTCSA) is an open-access, paid (article processing charges, APC, effective from 11(3); see the price information page for more details), and double-blind peer-reviewed publication of the Turkish Chemical Society (Society's website). Our aim is to serve the chemical community with a high-quality open-access journal. The author gives the right to publication to the journal, as they sign a form (copyright transfer form) and our journal runs according to Creative Commons Attribution NonCommercial NoDerivatives license (see bottom of page for more information).

Please see the PRE-REVIEW, PEER REVIEW, AND EDITING PROCESSES page on the right to plan your submission if you have pressing matters like application to associate professorship title, because normally the submission takes 3 to 5 months to finish.

Our journal accepts all papers for evaluation, provided that they are in a field of chemistry. The fields include, but not limited to:

  • analytical chemistry,
  • biochemistry,
  • computational chemistry,
  • electrochemistry,
  • food chemistry,
  • inorganic chemistry,
  • organic chemistry,
  • polymer chemistry,
  • and physical chemistry.

Chemistry education papers are kindly directed to the Chemistry Education journal (JOTCS-C), available at https://dergipark.org.tr/jotcsc. The journal has a policy with Jisc (formerly Sherpa/Romeo), allowing authors to deposit versions of their work. The authors give the right to the journal to publish their work, and then they abide to CC-BY-NC-ND license thereafter.
