Journal of Chemistry: Education Research and Practice(JCERP)

Aims and Scope

Journal DOI: 10.33140/JCERP

Journal of Chemistry: Education Research and Practice is an international peer-reviewed open access journal that publishes high-quality scholarly research, empirical investigations, theoretical studies, analytical articles, and comprehensive reviews that advance the understanding, teaching, application, and practical dimensions of chemistry and chemistry-related education. This journal serves as a scholarly platform for authors from academia, industry, research institutions, educational organisations, and professional laboratories to present original research, analytical studies, pedagogical investigations, curriculum studies, laboratory practice investigations, chemical theory analysis, and applied chemistry research.

The journal considers submissions that report significant research outcomes in foundational chemistry subjects, interdisciplinary chemistry fields, chemical sciences education research, experimental chemistry practice, chemical analysis techniques, materials characterisation, molecular sciences, and related sub-domains of chemical and science education research. Manuscripts addressing theoretical and applied aspects of chemistry, including experimental design, laboratory methodology, analytical procedures, instrumentation techniques, computational chemistry studies, chemical reaction mechanisms, molecular synthesis, spectroscopy, and structural analysis, are appropriate for this journal. Similarly, contributions that examine curriculum design, instructional methods in chemical sciences, assessment strategies, learning outcomes in laboratory environments, teacher education in chemistry, educational policy studies in science teaching, and research methods in chemistry education are welcomed.

The scope of the journal encompasses, but is not limited to, the following core and intersecting research areas:

Fundamental Chemistry and Chemical Sciences

Organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, analytical chemistry, biochemistry, biochemical analysis, chemical kinetics, molecular dynamics, quantum chemistry, structural chemistry, stereochemistry, chirality, thermochemistry, reaction mechanisms, catalysis, organometallic compounds, petrochemicals, polymers, macromolecules, chemical synthesis methods, nanochemistry, supramolecular chemistry, chemical bonds and interactions, phase equilibria, solvation phenomena, intermolecular forces, acid-base reactions, redox systems, and chemical equilibrium studies.

Applied Chemical Research and Technology

Chemistry Education Research and Practice

Chemical education research, laboratory pedagogy, curriculum development in chemical sciences, instructional strategies for chemistry teaching, evaluation and assessment methods, active learning in laboratory and classroom settings, experiential learning in chemistry practice, research on student conceptual development, chemical reasoning frameworks, cognitive studies in science learning, comparative studies in chemistry education, chemistry teacher professional development, educational measurement in science classrooms, classroom research methodologies, empirical studies in chemical learning, mixed methods research designs in education research, and methodological innovation in science education research.

Interdisciplinary and Translational Investigations

Cross-disciplinary research intersecting chemistry with physics, biology, materials science, environmental sciences, biomedical sciences, clinical laboratory techniques, pharmaceutical chemistry, bioprocess analysis, chemical engineering principles, computational modeling, data analytics in chemical research, process optimization studies, sustainability research, policy analysis in science education, educational technology applications, simulation-based laboratory research, research on safety and ethical practice in chemical laboratories, and studies on industry-academic transitions in chemical sciences practice.

Journal of Chemistry: Education Research and Practice accepts an array of scholarly article types, including original research articles, in-depth reviews, short communications, case studies, methodological reports, theoretical analyses, experimental reports, educational investigations, research notes, perspectives, and conference proceedings that align with the journal’s academic focus. Authors are invited to submit manuscripts that clearly articulate research objectives, detailed methods, analytical results, interpretation of findings, and discussion of implications for both chemistry research and chemistry education contexts.

Submissions that lie at the intersection of chemical theory, empirical investigation, applied practice, educational implementation, curriculum research, and instructional methodology are particularly suitable, as are studies that integrate modern analytical tools, computational techniques, data-driven insights, laboratory-based investigation, and evidence-based instruction strategies in chemical and science education research.

This Aim and Scope is intended to guide our authors and researchers in preparing manuscripts that contribute meaningfully to the scientific and educational communities in chemistry and related disciplines. The journal’s focus on rigorous research, methodological clarity, analytical precision, and education practice relevance ensures that published work meets scholarly standards and serves as a reputable reference for researchers, practitioners, and educators in chemical sciences and education research.
