The Journal of Energetic Materials fills the need for an international forum of scientific and technical interchange in the disciplines of explosives, propellants, and pyrotechnics. It is a refereed publication which is published quarterly. Molecular orbital calculations, synthetic and analytical chemistry, formulation, ignition and detonation properties, thermal decomposition, hazards testing, biotechnology, and toxicological and environmental aspects of energetic materials production are appropriate subjects for articles submitted to the Journal.
 
PEER REVIEW
 
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 and anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single blind and submission is online via  ScholarOne Manuscripts.
