About the Journal

The Journal of Chromatography and Separation Techniques is a peer-reviewed (refereed), academic, open-access, international scientific journal which provides a global scholarly platform to scientists, academicians and researchers to disseminate knowledge to the tertiary end users in the form of critical and informed articles related to separation science. 

The Journal of Chromatography and Separation Techniques publishes research papers and critical reviews on all aspects of separation science including developments in separation science relevant to biology and biomedical research. The scope includes Chromatography and related techniques, Electrophoresis, Extraction, Evaporation, Centrifugation, Crystallization, Distillation, Decantation, Sublimation, Magnetic Separation, Precipitation, Filtration, Adsorption, Thermo-gravimetric analysis, Mass Spectrometry, Micro-analytical techniques, Electro-migration techniques, sample preparation, Spectroscopic Methods, Chiral Separations, Nano-fluidic and Micro-fluidic Separations, Ion Suppression and Matrix-effects in separation, The qualitative and quantitative analysis of biopolymers including monoclonal antibodies, proteins, peptides (post-translational modifications), nucleic acids and glycans; The comparative analysis of biological systems using lipidomics, metabolomics, genomics, proteomics and other "omics" approaches; Clinical analysis, toxicological analysis, doping analysis, therapeutic drug monitoring, metabolism, veterinary applications, analysis of environmental contaminants in biological systems; The screening and profiling of cells, tissues, body fluids, biological matrices and systems; analysis of endogenous compounds and biomarkers; Identification of new bioactive compounds; hyphenated techniques and other multi-dimensional techniques.

The Journal of Chromatography and Separation Techniques accepts manuscripts on all aspects of separation science theory and methodology, instrumental developments and analytical and preparative applications. Developments related to preparative separations for the isolation and purification of components of biological systems are accepted, including chromatographic and electrophoretic methods, affinity separations and other preparative approaches.

Novel research and developments like improved analytical performance, combination of analytical techniques  or a new approach to the separation are given importance. Reports of analytical methods for compounds in early pharmaceutical development are considered if the authors can demonstrate the broader significance of the methodology involved. Quality control analyses of bulk drugs, natural products and pharmaceutical formulations are also considered.  

All submitted manuscripts are subjected to a stringent, rigorous peer-review process and are carefully evaluated based on originality and clarity of exposition.

Fast Editorial Review Process

Journal of Chromatography & Separation Techniques is participating in the Fast Editorial Execution and Review Process (FEE-Review Process) with an additional prepayment of $99 apart from the regular article processing fee. Fast Editorial Execution and Review Process is a special service for the article that enables it to get a faster response in the pre-review stage from the handling editor as well as a review from the reviewer. An author can get a faster response of pre-review maximum in 3 days since submission, and a review process by the reviewer maximum in 5 days, followed by revision/publication in 2 days. If the article gets notified for revision by the handling editor, then it will take another 5 days for external review by the previous reviewer or alternative reviewer.

Acceptance of manuscripts is driven entirely by handling editorial team considerations and independent peer-review, ensuring the highest standards are maintained no matter the route to regular peer-reviewed publication or a fast editorial review process. The handling editor and the article contributor are responsible for adhering to scientific standards. The article FEE-Review process of $99 will not be refunded even if the article is rejected or withdrawn for publication.

The corresponding author or institution/organization is responsible for making the manuscript FEE-Review Process payment. The additional FEE-Review Process payment covers the fast review processing and quick editorial decisions, and regular article publication covers the preparation in various formats for online publication, securing full-text inclusion in a number of permanent archives like HTML, XML, and PDF, and feeding to different indexing agencies.
