Aims and Scope
The Journal of Chemical Thermodynamics exists primarily for dissemination of significant new knowledge in experimental equilibrium thermodynamics and transport properties of chemical systems. The defining attributes of The Journal are the quality and relevance of the papers published.

The Journal publishes work relating to gases, liquids, solids, polymers, mixtures, solutions and interfaces. Studies on systems with variability, such as biological or bio-based materials, gas hydrates, among others, will also be considered provided these are well characterized and reproducible where possible. Experimental methods should be described in sufficient detail to allow critical assessment of the accuracy claimed.

Authors are encouraged to provide physical or chemical interpretations of the results. Articles can contain modelling sections providing representations of data or molecular insights into the properties or transformations studied. Theoretical papers on chemical thermodynamics using molecular theory or modelling are also considered.

The Journal welcomes review articles in the field of chemical thermodynamics but prospective authors should first consult one of the Editors concerning the suitability of the proposed review.

Contributions of a routine nature or reporting on uncharacterised materials are not accepted.

Verified Reviews
Note: Verified reviews are sourced from across review platforms and social media globally.
The reviewing process is slow, just have to wait. After the first major revision, the comments and the reviewer's opinions were not consistent, so there was a second major revision. The reviewer asked a question, and I explained it with the mechanism and references. I told him that someone had already done it and it was not feasible. But in the second revision, he suggested that I conduct an experiment. (It's like someone has already eaten a watermelon, taken a photo, and told you that the inside is red, but you don't believe it and insist on cutting it open to see if it's really red.)

The key point is that after the second revision, when I finished the changes, the editor directly rejected the submission?!?! There wasn't even a chance for it to be sent for review. The reason for rejection was surprisingly the opinion of the reviewer in the second revision. If that was the case, they could have rejected it directly after the second revision. Why did they reject it after I made the changes??

I am really fed up with such a trash journal and editor.

It's so frustrating. I received feedback after my first submission and made revisions based on the feedback before submitting it again for the second time. However, the result was the same as the first, with the same rejection comments.
