COMBUST FLAME

ISSN / eISSN
0010-2180
Aims and Scope
The mission of the journal is to publish high quality work from experimental, theoretical, and computational investigations on the fundamentals of combustion phenomena and closely allied matters. While submissions in all pertinent areas are welcomed, past and recent focus of the journal has been on:

Development and validation of reaction kinetics, reduction of reaction mechanisms and modeling of combustion systems, including:
Conventional, alternative and surrogate fuels;
Pollutants;
Particulate and aerosol formation and abatement;
Heterogeneous processes.

Experimental, theoretical, and computational studies of laminar and turbulent combustion phenomena, including:
Premixed and non-premixed flames;
Ignition and extinction phenomena;
Flame propagation;
Flame structure;
Instabilities and swirl;
Flame spread;
Multi-phase reactants.

Advances in diagnostic and computational methods in combustion, including:
Measurement and simulation of scalar and vector properties;
Novel techniques;
State-of-the art applications.

Fundamental investigations of combustion technologies and systems, including:
Internal combustion engines;
Gas turbines;
Small- and large-scale stationary combustion and power generation;
Catalytic combustion;
Combustion synthesis;
Combustion under extreme conditions;
New concepts.

Verified Reviews

CnF is a well-established top-tier journal in the field of combustion, and it is highly recognized within its niche. It has a high academic impact and is known for its difficulty in getting submissions accepted. However, its impact factor is indeed very low and has not seen much improvement.

Another point of criticism is the slow speed of the journal. After one month of the initial review, they provided feedback with only two minor revisions. Two weeks later, they returned the revised manuscript. From the submission until now, it has been a total of 7.5 months, and it has still not been published online.

Although the impact factor of IF has been low, CNF is still a top journal in the field of combustion. It has a high level of difficulty and only publishes over 400 articles per year. It focuses on research related to combustion mechanisms and is not very friendly towards ordinary combustion testing or mechanical-related content. The community is also important, as the majority of those who are able to publish in CNF are foreign experts. Friends who are working on combustion-related topics are welcome to communicate.
