Occasionally the Editors may decide to publish something outside the defined scope of the journal if the work would be of interest to the green chemistry community and/or have the potential to shape the field.

Green Chemistry does not normally deal with research associated with 'end-of-pipe' or remediation issues. To be suitable, the novel advance should have the potential for reduced environmental impact relative to the state of the art. Therefore, the inclusion of a particular material or technology does not, of itself, guarantee that a paper is suitable for the journal. Green chemistry is, by definition, a continuously-evolving frontier. safety, metrics, LCA, sustainability, (eco)toxicology…) electronics, dyes, consumer products, coatings, pharmaceuticals, preservatives, building materials, chemicals for industry/agriculture/mining…) renewable energy, fuels, photovoltaics, fuel cells, energy storage, energy carriers…)

To be published, work must present a significant advance in green chemistry. The journal publishes original and significant cutting-edge research that is likely to be of wide general appeal.
