Submit an Article
We welcome article submissions focused on recent industry developments, such as innovations in chemical engineering or sustainability. Tailor your content to our readership of scientists and industry executives, and strengthen it with credible data, expert opinions, or case studies to increase your chances of publication and contribute to the chemicals sector’s discourse.
Speciality Chemicals Magazine welcomes contributions from academia and industry.
News and commentaries: up to 200 words with one accompanying table or graphic;
Feature articles: typically up to 800 words with four tables or graphics.
All submissions are subject to review by the editor. If accepted, content may be edited and/or abridged, to ensure it is in line with the values, requirements and style of the magazine. We will let you know within three weeks if your contribution has been accepted for publication.
If your article doesn't feature in print, we may publish it online. Please be aware, we may include online articles in our fortnightly newsletter.
Feature articles must have a technical (rather than marketing or promotional) focus. They may concentrate on a specific industry sector (for example, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, cosmetics and personal care) but should be understandable to experts in all fields. To this end, please start your main article with a brief explanation of the topic and define abbreviations that might not be widely known. Where appropriate, facts cited in your article should be referenced. Intelligent insights into the state and future of industry are encouraged.
