Aims & Scope

CrystEngComm is the forum for the design and understanding of crystalline materials. We welcome studies on the investigation of molecular behaviour within crystals, control of nucleation and crystal growth, engineering of crystal structures, and construction of crystalline materials with tuneable properties and functions. We publish hypothesis-driven research into how crystal design affects… phase transitional behaviours polymorphism morphology control solid state reactivity (crystal-crystal, solution-crystal and gas-crystal reactions) optoelectronics ferroelectric materials non-linear optics molecular and bulk magnetism conductivity and quantum computing catalysis absorption and desorption mechanical properties Guidance on materials and techniques of interest is given below: Materials of interest crystalline organic and inorganic compounds MOFs and coordination polymers covalent organic frameworks nanocrystals host-guest systems multi-component molecular materials peptides and biomacromolecules liquid crystals Techniques and methods single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction electron diffraction crystallography neutron diffraction crystallography solid-state spectroscopy, spectrometry, and microscopy modelling and data mining empirical, semi-empirical and ab-initio theoretical evaluations All papers should involve the use or development of a design or optimisation strategy. Routine structural reports or crystal morphology descriptions, even when combined with an analysis of properties or potential applications, are generally considered to be outside the scope of the journal and are unlikely to be accepted.

Frequently asked questions about CrystEngComm

Is CrystEngComm a predatory journal?

PubScope has no integrity flags on record for CrystEngComm: it is indexed in Web of Science, Scopus, and is not on DOAJ's withdrawn list. Its PubScope Trust Score is 90/100. Indexing is a transparency signal, not a guarantee β€” always confirm fit and policies before submitting.

What is the impact factor of CrystEngComm?

CrystEngComm is indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection, so Clarivate publishes an official Journal Impact Factor for it (since the 2023 Journal Citation Reports, every Core Collection journal β€” including Arts & Humanities and Emerging Sources titles β€” receives one). PubScope links to Clarivate's official source rather than reprinting the number, which can be out of date. Its open 2-year mean citedness is 1.93.

Is CrystEngComm indexed in Scopus and Web of Science?

CrystEngComm is indexed in Web of Science, Scopus.
