分子催化雜志A：化學出版的全部論文都是原創的，嚴謹的，學術的貢獻，研究分子和原子方面的催化激活和反應機制在均相催化，多相催化(包括支持的有機金屬催化)和計算催化。在上述范圍內，期刊也會及時發表專題評論，但潛在作者在撰寫此類文章前必須獲得總編的初步批準。接受稿件的質量和讀者的重大利益，可選擇的編輯功能的“編輯選擇”部分的期刊。不屬于上述目標和范圍的稿件將在編輯一級予以拒絕。屬于這一類的論文主要集中在制備無機化學和相關結構表征、聚合物表征或催化的合成有機應用方面，而不是催化活化和反應機理的分子和原子方面。根據該期刊的目標和范圍，預計催化劑活性將得到適當的表達。因此，均質系統的理想特征是通過動力學分析，從中可以得到宏觀或微觀的速率常數。在最低限度內，應報告周轉次數和頻率。對于多相催化，理想的活性表達方式應該是每個位點的周轉率，或者至少是使用適當方法測量的活性組分的單位面積的周轉率，例如化學吸附，或者通過透射電鏡或x射線衍射線展寬等技術獲得的顆粒大小來估計。應避免廣泛使用轉化率。范圍以來分子催化的愛思唯爾期刊雜志：化學、分子催化學報B：酶，應用催化：一般情況下，應用催化乙：環境、和催化通信是互補的，一個適當的提交每個雜志可能是邊緣，在這種情況下,建議將尋求另一個編輯器，可能將提交到分子催化學報B：酶，應用催化：一般應用催化B：經作者同意的環境或催化通信(用于信函)。

Journal of Molecular Catalysis A: Chemical publishes full papers that are original, rigorous, and scholarly contributions examining the molecular and atomic aspects of catalytic activation and reaction mechanisms in homogeneous catalysis, heterogeneous catalysis (including supported organometallic catalysis) and computational catalysis.The Journal also publishes timely reviews of specialized topics within the scope outlined above, however prospective authors must obtain preliminary approval from the Editor-in-Chief before preparing such an article.Accepted manuscripts of exceptional quality and substantial interest to the readership may be selected by Editors to feature in the 'Editors Choice' section of the Journal.Contributions that do not fall within the above aims and scope will be rejected at the editorial level. Examples of papers falling into this category are those for which the major focus is on preparative inorganic chemistry and associated structural characterisation, on polymer characterisation, or on the synthetic organic applications of catalysis, rather than the molecular and atomic aspects of catalytic activation and reaction mechanism.In keeping with the aims and scope of the journal, it is expected that catalyst activity be appropriately expressed. Thus, homogeneous systems are ideally characterised by kinetic analysis from which macro- or micro-scopic rate constants can be presented. At the very minimum, turnover number and frequency should be reported. For heterogeneous catalysis, activity should ideally be expressed in turnover frequencies per site or at least per unit area of active component measured using an appropriate method, such as chemisorption or estimated from the particle size obtained by such techniques as transmission electron microscopy or XRD line-broadening. Extensive use of percent conversion should be avoided.Since the scopes of the Elsevier journals Journal of Molecular Catalysis A: Chemical, Journal of Molecular Catalysis B: Enzymatic, Applied Catalysis A: General, Applied Catalysis B: Environmental, and Catalysis Communications are complementary, an appropriate submission to each journal could be borderline, in which case the advice of another Editor will be sought, possibly redirecting the submission to either Journal of Molecular Catalysis B: Enzymatic, Applied Catalysis A: General, Applied Catalysis B: Environmental, or Catalysis Communications (for letters) with the author(s)'s agreement.
