JOURNAL OF THE ACADEMY OFCHEMISTRY TEACHERS
a biannual peer-reviewed research journal of chemistry
Vol : 1 (2) Dec 2015
Journal of the Academy of Chemistry Teachers (JACT) is a biannual peer-reviewed researchjournal of Chemistry published by the Academy of Chemistry Teachers (ACT), Thiruvananthapuram. It isissued half-yearly (Jan-June & July-Dec). JACT solicits research articles in any branch of Chemistry forpublication. The journal will cover all aspects of Chemistry from Organic and Inorganic Chemistry toPhysical Chemistry, including frontier areas like Computational Chemistry, Combinatorial Chemistry,Green Chemistry and Nanochemistry. JACT will publish short articles of popular interest. Submission ofan article implies that it has not been previously published. We hope JACT will usher in a new era ofambitious and innovative research in various novel fields of chemistry. JACT is intended to become agood journal for chemistry in its broadest sense. Manuscripts may be sent as email attachment to theEditor. All manuscripts are subject to peer-review and copy-editing.
