Comments on Inorganic Chemistry  is intended as a vehicle for authoritatively written critical discussions of inorganic chemistry research. We publish focused articles of any length that critique or comment upon new concepts, or which introduce new interpretations or developments of long-standing concepts. “Comments” may contain critical discussions of previously published work, or original research that critiques existing concepts or introduces novel concepts.

Through the medium of comments, the Editors encourage authors in any area of inorganic chemistry - synthesis, structure, spectroscopy, kinetics and mechanisms, theory - to write about their interests in a manner that is both personal and pedagogical.
Our journal  is an excellent platform for younger inorganic chemists whose research is not yet widely known. Publishing with us allows you to describe your work and add your name and contribution to our impressive  archive of publications from many well-established and up-and-coming inorganic chemists.

Reviews of topics important to the advancement of inorganic chemistry are especially solicited - with the distinction from other review journals being that wepublish more focused reviews, opposed to more comprehensive reviews. Reviews may reflect upon an author’s recent work as an overview of their contributions in a given area, or upon a new research direction they intend to navigate in the next stage of their career.

From time to time, special issues may be dedicated to a topical conference/symposium, or a particular contemporary research topic or class of materials that has attracted recent attention by inorganic chemists. While most contributions are solicited by the editors, potential authors are encouraged to write the Editors, or a Member of the Editorial Advisory Board, with their interest in contributing an article.

We encourage authors to deposit their manuscripts as a pre-print to speed up the dissemination of research, which allows for feedback before formal peer review. Deposition of your manuscript in a pre-print server will have no bearing on the peer review process and final decision made on your manuscript.

Authors who believe their manuscript would benefit from English editing prior to submission should seek a professional editing service or native English speaker. Details of editing services available from Taylor & Francis are available here.
