Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research is a peer-reviewed scientific journal published by the American Chemical Society that covers applied research in chemical engineering and industrial chemistry. It serves as a venue for researchers affiliated with institutions such as Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of California, Berkeley, Stanford University, California Institute of Technology, and University of Cambridge to report advances relevant to process design, catalysis, and separations. The journal attracts submissions from authors connected to organizations like BASF, Dow Chemical Company, DuPont, ExxonMobil, and national laboratories including Argonne National Laboratory, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

History and Publication Profile

The journal traces lineage to publications produced by the American Institute of Chemical Engineers and evolved alongside periodicals such as Chemical & Engineering News and Industrial & Engineering Chemistry during the 20th century, reflecting shifts seen in venues like Journal of the American Chemical Society and Nature. Early editorial leadership included figures associated with institutions such as Columbia University, Princeton University, and University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, mirroring developments in industrial sets led by Standard Oil and Bell Labs. Over decades, the title paralleled policy and funding changes influenced by agencies like the National Science Foundation and Department of Energy, and has coexisted with complementary journals such as AIChE Journal and Chemical Engineering Science.

The journal publishes research on process systems engineering, reaction engineering, catalysis, separations, materials for energy, and environmental remediation, intersecting work from research groups at ETH Zurich, Imperial College London, Tsinghua University, Peking University, and Seoul National University. Typical topics reference technologies developed by companies like Siemens, General Electric, Shell plc, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, and Toyota Motor Corporation. Manuscripts often discuss methodologies comparable to those in Langmuir, Applied Catalysis A, Journal of Catalysis, Macromolecules, and Advanced Materials, addressing case studies drawn from sites such as Port of Rotterdam and facilities run by Sasol or Petrobras.

Editorial oversight is provided by an editorial board comprising scholars from University of Texas at Austin, Cornell University, University of Michigan, University of Minnesota, and Georgia Institute of Technology. The peer-review process engages reviewers affiliated with organizations like National Institute of Standards and Technology, Sandia National Laboratories, Los Alamos National Laboratory, ETH Zurich, and University of Tokyo. Manuscripts submitted through platforms similar to those used by Elsevier, Wiley, and Springer Nature undergo initial screening, assignment to associate editors, anonymized review, and revision cycles informed by standards adopted by bodies such as the Committee on Publication Ethics.

The journal's impact has been assessed using citation indices maintained by entities like Clarivate, Scopus, and Google Scholar, and it frequently appears alongside titles such as Chemical Engineering Journal and Energy & Environmental Science in rankings. Metrics reported by services connected to Journal Citation Reports and Eigenfactor inform institutional evaluations at universities like Yale University and Harvard University, and influence funding decisions tied to agencies such as the European Research Council and Japan Society for the Promotion of Science.

Contributions have included influential articles addressing heterogeneous catalysis, membrane separations, reactor design, process intensification, and multiphase flow, echoing landmark work associated with scientists from University of Wisconsin–Madison, Northwestern University, Brown University, Johns Hopkins University, and Duke University. The journal has published studies that impacted industrial practice at firms like Bayer, Honeywell, and Procter & Gamble, and informed standards developed by organizations such as American Society for Testing and Materials and International Organization for Standardization.

The journal is abstracted and indexed in databases operated by Chemical Abstracts Service, Web of Science, Scopus, and INSPEC, and is discoverable through library systems at institutions including British Library, Library of Congress, National Diet Library (Japan), and Bibliothèque nationale de France. Indexing service inclusion places the journal in curated lists alongside publications from Royal Society of Chemistry and IUPAC-affiliated outputs.

Published by the American Chemical Society, the journal offers subscription and pay-per-view access, institutional site licenses used by universities like McGill University and University of Toronto, and individual article purchase options similar to models used by Elsevier and Wiley-Blackwell. Authors may select publishing pathways compatible with mandates from funders such as the Wellcome Trust and Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation through open access arrangements and hybrid licensing.
