The Journal of Wood Chemistry and Technology (JWCT) is focused on the rapid publication of research advances in the chemistry of bio-based materials and products, including all aspects of wood-based polymers, chemicals, materials, and technology. JWCT provides an international forum for researchers and manufacturers working in wood-based biopolymers and chemicals, synthesis and characterization, as well as the chemistry of biomass conversion and utilization. 

JWCT primarily publishes original research papers and communications, and occasionally invited review articles and special issues. Special issues must summarize and analyze state-of-the-art developments within the field of biomass chemistry, or be in tribute to the career of a distinguished researcher. If you wish to suggest a special issue for the Journal, please email the Editor-in-Chief a detailed proposal that includes the topic, a list of potential contributors, and a time-line. 

Peer Review Policy  
All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor-in-Chief, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single blind and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.
