Green Chemistry Letters and Reviews (GCLR) is an international, cross-disciplinary, fully open access journal focused on the contribution of chemistry to sustainable development.

GCLR’s scope aims to build upon the definition of Green Chemistry as first defined by its Founding Editor John Warner, together with Paul Anastas, in Green Chemistry: Theory and Practice, Oxford University Press, Oxford, 1998.

GCLR is dedicated to bringing together academic, teaching, and industry professionals, including environmental scientists and law and policy makers, who constitute the green chemistry community. We welcome original research letters and articles, review articles, perspective and feature articles, reports on recent innovations, as well as educational resources from those working in related disciplines across chemistry, chemical engineering, political science, jurisprudence, and economics.

GCLR accepts the following article types: Research Article, Research Letter, Review Article, Methods, and Brief Reports.

All contributions should clearly demonstrate impact to advancing the field by reference to the 12 Principles of Green Chemistry and the Sustainable Development Goals agreed by the United Nations in 2015. Such topics include, but are not limited to:

Green synthesis and catalysis
Green manufacturing and engineering
Green product design
Green chemistry education
Critical raw materials and sustainable resources
Energy harvest, storage, and savings
Circular economy
Environmental chemistry and green metrics
Ethics, legislation, and economics

We encourage authors to deposit their manuscripts as a pre-print to speed up the dissemination of research, which allows for feedback before formal peer review. Deposition of your manuscript in a pre-print server will have no bearing on the peer review process and final decision made on your manuscript.

Authors who believe their manuscript would benefit from English editing prior to submission should seek a professional editing service or native English speaker. Details of editing services available from Taylor & Francis are available here.
