About the Journal

Focus and Scope

International Journal of Membrane Science and Technology is a peer reviewed scientific journal providing opportunity for academic and industrial chemists, chemical engineers, and materials scientists to share their experimental and theoretical research work in the field of Membrane Science and Technology through this platform.

Membrane technology covers all engineering approaches for the transport of substances between two fractions with the help of permeable membranes. In general, mechanical separation processes for separating gaseous or liquid streams use membrane technology.

Our topics of interest are; (but not limited to ) biological membranes, non-biological membranes, membrane types and structure, use of membrane technology in food, pharmaceutical, oil and gas, waste water, chemical and biotechnological industries.

The journal publishes novel research articles, reviews, communications and technical notes.

Peer Review Process

All submitted manuscripts are read by the members of editorial office. To save time for authors and peer-reviewers, only those papers that seem most likely to meet our editorial criteria are sent for formal peer review. Those papers judged by the editors to be of insufficient general interest or otherwise inappropriate are rejected promptly without external review.

Manuscripts judged to be of potential interest to our readership are sent for formal review, typically to two or three reviewers. The editors then make a decision based on the reviewers' advice, from among several possibilities:

  • Accept as it is
  • Accept with minor changes
  • Accept with major changes, inviting the authors to revise their manuscript to address specific concerns before a final decision is reached
  • Reject
