《國際化學動力學雜志》是專門研究化學動力學的主要檔案期刊，出版了氣相、凝聚相、聚合物反應動力學以及生物化學和表面動力學方面的原始研究成果。該雜志試圖成為在簡單和復雜系統中對反應動力學進行仔細實驗測量的主要檔案。該雜志還介紹了應用理論動力學的新進展，出版了大型動力學模型，以及這些模型中使用的算法和估計。這些方法包括處理生物化學、催化和自由基化學中重要的大型反應網絡。此外，該雜志還探討了分子結構與化學反應性之間的定量關系、有機/無機化學與反應機理以及界面反應化學等問題。

As the leading archival journal devoted exclusively to chemical kinetics, the International Journal of Chemical Kinetics publishes original research in gas phase, condensed phase, and polymer reaction kinetics, as well as biochemical and surface kinetics. The Journal seeks to be the primary archive for careful experimental measurements of reaction kinetics, in both simple and complex systems. The Journal also presents new developments in applied theoretical kinetics and publishes large kinetic models, and the algorithms and estimates used in these models. These include methods for handling the large reaction networks important in biochemistry, catalysis, and free radical chemistry. In addition, the Journal explores such topics as the quantitative relationships between molecular structure and chemical reactivity, organic/inorganic chemistry and reaction mechanisms, and the reactive chemistry at interfaces.
