The scope of the journal includes, but is not limited to:

• Analytical Chemistry - development and application of analytical methods, instrumentation, and chemical sensors.
• Inorganic Chemistry - synthesis, characterization, and reactivity of inorganic and organometallic compounds.
• Organic Chemistry - structure, synthesis, mechanism, and reactivity of organic compounds and natural products.
• Physical and Theoretical Chemistry - thermodynamics, kinetics, spectroscopy, quantum chemistry, and computational modeling.
• Biochemistry and Medicinal Chemistry - biomolecular interactions, enzyme chemistry, drug design, and biochemical pathways.
• Environmental Chemistry - chemical processes in the environment, pollution control, green chemistry, and sustainability studies.
• Materials Chemistry - development of novel materials including nanomaterials, catalysts, polymers, and composites.
• Industrial and Applied Chemistry - chemical process technology, catalysis, renewable energy materials, and agrochemical applications.
• Food and Agricultural Chemistry - chemical composition, safety, and functionality of food and agricultural products.
• Chemical Education and Innovation - methods, curriculum development, and technology-enhanced learning in chemistry.

Other areas may also be considered within the frame of Chemical Science and Applications.

Peer Review Process

Every manuscript submitted to CHEMSUKA: Journal of Chemical Science and Applications is independently reviewed by at least two reviewers in the form of "peer review". Decision for publication, amendment, or rejection is based upon their reports/recommendation. In certain cases, the editor may submit an article for review to another, third reviewer before making a decision, if necessary.

Generally, there are five stages for publication in CHEMSUKA: Journal of Chemical Science and Applications.

• Initial screening by Editor-In-Chief. The Editor will first evaluate all manuscripts submitted. Although rare, yet it is entirely feasible for an exceptional manuscript to be accepted at this stage. Those rejected at this stage are insufficiently original, have serious scientific flaws, or are outside the aims and scope of the CHEMSUKA: Journal of Chemical Science and Applications. Those that meet the minimum criteria are passed on to experts for review.
• Peer-review by reviewers. All submitted manuscripts will generally be reviewed by two to three experts who will be asked to evaluate whether the manuscript is scientifically sound and coherent, whether it duplicates the already published works, and whether or not the manuscript is sufficiently clear for publication.
• First decision (can be rejected or accepted with revision). The manuscript: Is original by stating the objectives and gap clearly, Is methodologically sound, Follows appropriate ethical guidelines, Has results/findings which are clearly presented and support the conclusions, Correctly references previous relevant work
• Revision stage.
• Final decision (the revised manuscript will either be accepted or rejected). Reviewers advise the editor, who is responsible for the final decision to accept or reject the article. The Editors will reach a decision based on these reports and, where necessary, they will consult with members of the Editorial Board. Editor’s decision is final.

Plagiarism Screening

Manuscripts submitted to CHEMSUKA: Journal of Chemical Science and Applications will be automatically screened for plagiarism using plargiarism checkers (tools). Papers found to contain a significant amount of plagiarism (including self-plagiarism) will be automatically rejected.

CHEMSUKA: Journal of Chemical Science and Applications, as a respected international journal, wants to ensure that all authors are careful and comply with international standards for academic integrity, particularly on the issue of plagiarism.

Plagiarism occurs when an author takes ideas, information, or words from another source without proper credit to the source. Even when it occurs unintentionally, plagiarism is still a serious academic violation, and unacceptable in international academic publications.

When the author learns specific information (a name, date, place, statistical number, or other detailed information) from a specific source, a citation is required. (This is only forgiven in cases of general knowledge, where the data is readily available in more than five sources or is common knowledge, e.g., the fact that Indonesia is the most populous Muslim country in the world.)

When the author takes an idea from another author, a citation is required—even if the author then develops the idea further. This might be an idea about how to interpret the data, either what methodology to use or what conclusion to draw. It might be an idea about broad developments in a field or general information. Regardless of the idea, authors should cite their sources. In cases where the author develops the idea further, it is still necessary to cite the original source of the idea, and then in a subsequent sentence the author can explain her or his more developed idea.

When the author takes words from another author, a citation and quotation marks are required. Whenever four or more consecutive words are identical to a source that the author has read, the author must use quotation marks to denote the use of another author’s original words; just a citation is no longer enough.

CHEMSUKA: Journal of Chemical Science and Applications takes academic integrity very seriously, and the editors reserve the right to withdraw acceptance from a paper found to violate any of the standards set out above. For further information, potential authors can contact the editorial office.
