JOURNAL OF STRUCTURAL CHEMISTRY

Journal is an interdisciplinary publication covering all aspects of structural chemistry, including the theory of molecular structure and chemical bond; the use of physical methods to study the electronic and spatial structure of chemical species; structural features of liquids, solutions, surfaces, supramolecular systems, nano- and solid materials; and the crystal structure of solids.PEER REVIEWJournal of Structural Chemistry is a peer reviewed journal. We use a double blind peer review format. Our team of reviewers includes 210 reviewers, both internal and external (81%). The average period from submission to first decision in 2017 was 2 days, and that from first decision to acceptance was 30 days. The rejection rate for submitted manuscripts in 2017 was 42%. The final decision on the acceptance of an article for publication is made by Editor-in-Chief and Editorial Board.Any invited reviewer who feels unqualified or unable to review the manuscript due to the conflict of interests should promptly notify the editors and decline the invitation. Reviewers should formulate their statements clearly in a sound and reasoned way so that authors can use reviewer’s arguments to improve the manuscript. Personal criticism of the authors must be avoided. Reviewers should indicate in a review (i) any relevant published work that has not been cited by the authors, (ii) anything that has been reported in previous publications and not given appropriate reference or citation, (iii) any substantial similarity or overlap with any other manuscript (published or unpublished) of which they have personal knowledge.

《分子结构与化学键理论》是涵盖结构化学各方面内容的跨学科刊物;利用物理方法研究化学物种的电子和空间结构；液体、溶液、表面、超分子体系、纳米和固体材料的结构特征；以及固体的晶体结构。同行评审期刊是一份同行评议的期刊。我们使用双盲同行评审格式。我们的审稿人团队包括210名审稿人，包括内部审稿人和外部审稿人(81%)。2017年从提交到首次评审的平均周期为2天，从首次评审到验收的平均周期为30天。2017年投稿退稿率为42%。接受发表文章的最终决定由总编和编委会作出。被邀请的审稿人因利益冲突，认为不符合审稿条件或者不能审稿的，应当及时通知审稿人，并予以拒绝。审稿人应以一种合理合理的方式清晰地阐述自己的观点，这样作者才能利用审稿人的观点来完善稿件。必须避免对作者的个人批评。评论者应该显示发表的一篇评论(我)任何相关的工作没有被引用的作者；(2)任何已报道在以前的出版物和没有适当的参考或引用；(3)任何实质性相似或重叠与其他手稿(发表或未发表)的个人知识。
