Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research

Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research (commonly abbreviated as Ind. Eng. Chem. Res.) is a peer-reviewed journal published by the American Chemical Society, with a lineage reaching back to 1909 and now issued at about fifty issues a year. It is one of the broadest titles in applied chemistry and chemical engineering, publishing work along the whole chain from laboratory finding to industrial realisation.《工业与工程化学研究》（Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research，常用缩写为 Ind. Eng. Chem. Res.）是由美国化学会出版的同行评审学术期刊，刊脉可溯至 1909 年，现以每年约五十期的频率出版。该刊是应用化学与化学工程方向收文面最宽的刊物之一，刊载从实验室发现到工业实现的全链条研究。

Scope

Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research takes the view that whatever industrial chemistry touches falls within its scope, so its coverage is far wider than most specialist titles, yet it still asks for generalisability, requiring papers to state the conditions under which results hold. Its principal subject areas include:Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research 的取稿立场是「凡工业化学所及，皆在其内」，因而收文面远宽于多数专门刊物，但对可推广性仍有要求：论文须交代结果在何种条件下成立。收文范围覆盖的主要方向包括：

• Reaction engineering and catalysis: industrial catalysis and reactor design, reaction kinetics with mechanism, and preparation and deactivation of catalytic materials.反应工程与催化： 工业催化与反应器设计、反应动力学与机理、催化材料的制备与失活。
• Separation processes: intensification of distillation, absorption and extraction, membrane separation and adsorption processes, and engineering study of crystallisation and drying.分离过程： 精馏吸收与萃取的强化、膜分离与吸附工艺、结晶与干燥的工程研究。
• Materials and interfaces: functional and porous materials, colloid and interface phenomena, and nanomaterials in the process industries.材料与界面： 功能材料与多孔材料、胶体与界面现象、纳米材料在过程工业中的应用。
• Process systems engineering: process synthesis with energy integration, process control and optimisation, and safety and reliability analysis.过程系统工程： 流程综合与能量集成、过程控制与优化、安全与可靠性分析。
• Sustainable engineering: carbon capture and utilisation, biomass and waste conversion, and process intensification with energy accounting.可持续工程： 碳捕集与利用、生物质与废弃物转化、过程强化与能耗核算。

Research articles predominate, with reviews, letters and topical commentary also accepted, and because coverage is wide the office advises authors to check the division of labour with the society's specialist titles before submitting.稿件类型以研究论文为主，兼收综述、快报与专题评述；因收文面宽，编辑部建议作者在投稿前先核对本刊与学会旗下专门刊物的分工。

History

• Lineage (1909): the line reaches back to the Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry begun in 1909, renamed Industrial and Engineering Chemistry in 1923, and long the central American title for chemical engineering.刊脉起点（1909年）： 本刊的谱系可上溯至 1909 年创刊的《工业与工程化学杂志》，1923 年更名为《工业与工程化学》，长期是美国化工界的核心刊物。
• Split into three (1970): in 1970 the title was divided by subject into product research and development, process design and development, and fundamentals, each continuing its own numbering.三刊分立（1970年）： 1970 年该刊按题材拆为产品研究开发、过程设计开发与基础研究三份刊物，各按自身卷号延续。
• Merger and renaming (1987): the three titles were recombined in January 1987 as Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research, numbering opening at volume 26, the beginning of the journal as it now stands.合并更名（1987年）： 1987 年 1 月三刊重新合并为《工业与工程化学研究》，卷号自第 26 卷起算，此即现刊的开端。
• Frequency: publication has grown with submissions, from monthly at the merger to about fifty issues a year in recent years, close to a weekly rhythm.刊期演变： 本刊的出版频率随投稿量持续增长，由合并之初的月刊逐步加密，近年已达每年约五十期，接近周刊节奏。
• Metric trend: the impact factor rose from 3.1 in 2017 to 4.3 in 2021 and then eased to 3.9 in 2025, upper-middle within chemical engineering.指标走势： 影响因子自 2017 年的 3.1 缓步上升至 2021 年的 4.3，其后回落至 2025 年的 3.9，在化工类目中居中上游。

Editors

An editor-in-chief directs the journal with several associate editors divided by subject, and academia and industrial research organisations hold broadly comparable shares of board seats. Manuscripts arrive through the society's shared submission system. Neither the publisher nor the board publishes an acceptance rate or review duration for the title.本刊由主编统筹并按题材设多名副主编，编委席位的显著特征是学术界与工业研究机构各占相当比例；稿件经学会统一的在线系统投递。出版方与编委会均未公布本刊的录用比例与审稿时长。

• Routing and transfer: because coverage is wide, editors suggest resubmission to the society's specialist titles when a paper fits them better, and such transfers are common in the ordinary course of the journal.分工与转投： 因题材面宽，编辑部在认为稿件更契合学会旗下专门刊物时会建议改投，这类转投在本刊的日常流程中相当常见。
• Engineering bent: the office values usability for industrial practice, and papers reporting laboratory phenomena without scale-up or operating limits are often asked for more.工程取向： 编辑部看重结果对工业实践的可用性，仅有实验室现象而未交代放大或工况边界的稿件常被要求补作。
• Volume and readership: the size of the journal makes it a large literature pool for the field, and the office reminds authors in its guidance to attend to the search value of abstracts and keywords.份量与读者： 本刊因卷帙浩繁而常被用作领域内的大型文献池，编辑部在稿约中提醒作者注意摘要与关键词的检索价值。
