Focus and Scope

Original scientific messages, reviews, short messages and letters are published in journal "Khimija rastitel'nogo syr'ja" ("Chemistry of plant raw material") in the edition, devoted to chemistry of the processes occurring at penetrating chemical processing both a plant complex as a whole, and its separate components, to creation of essentially new effective technological processes of complex processing of plant raw materials or improvement of the operating.

In journal following partitions are provided:

  • Anatomic, morphological and submicroscopic structure of plant fabrics and its role in processes of penetrating chemical processing.
  • Composition, structure and properties of macromolecular components of plant raw materials (cellulose, lignine, hemicelluloses).
  • Composition, structure and properties of the low molecular weight substances evolved from plant raw materials.
  • Transformations of the highest polysaccharides, lignine and other plant substances at chemical processing of plant raw materials without its division into separate components.
  • Improvement operating and creation of new technologies of chemical processing and modification of plant materials and their components.
  • Physiologically active connections on the basis of plant raw materials.
  • Ecology and chemical processing of plant raw materials.
  • Problems of formation in the field of chemistry and technology of plant raw materials.

One of the basic directions of a policy of journal - the publication of the original articles, satisfying to standards of high scientific quality.

The journal welcomes articles of debatable character.

The journal publishes also the information on the last conferences, scientific schools and other events of a domestic and international scientific life.

Peer Review Process

1. Articles in the journal "Khimija rastitel'nogo syr'ja" ("Chemistry of plant raw material") comes only through the log management system implemented on the basis of Open Journal Systems (OJS), hosted at chem.wood.ru. All paperwork and correspondence is carried out only through the website.

2. Initial examination of the incoming articles held executive secretary and / or chief editor. At this stage the nature of the incoming message (for a review, experimental work, a short message, information about events, etc.); its compliance with the topics of the magazine; compliance with the rules for registration of articles the authors. In case of any comments, the article is sent for processing to the authors.

3. The next step is a review article on the merits. Article appointed reviewer (member of the editorial board or a reputable scientist working in the field) of an existing database in the log management system. Reviewer gets access to the article. Reviewing "double-blind"! Author unknown reviewer, the reviewer is not known to the authors and the organization in which they work. The time allowed for the preparation of the review to the reviewer - up to 1 month.

4. Upon receipt of the review article, the authors review the text and sent a request to correct an article in accordance with the comments of the reviewer or give a reasoned response, if the authors do not agree with the comments of the reviewer. All correspondence between authors and reviewers is conducted through the Secretary in charge of the magazine and stored online in the journal management system.

5. If between authors and reviewers appear insurmountable odds, you can assign additional reviews of this article. The opinion of the reviewer is a recommendation. The final decision on the possibility of publication of the article remains with the editor in chief.

6. The authors found to be in violation of the "Code of Ethics of scientific publications" (plagiarism) are recorded in the "black list" and their publication in a future article in the "Khimija rastitel'nogo syr'ja" ("Chemistry of plant raw material") will be limited.
