Particulate Science and Technology, an interdisciplinary journal, publishes papers on both fundamental and applied science and technology related to particles and particle systems in size scales from nanometers to millimeters. The journal's primary focus is to report emerging technologies and advances in different fields of engineering, energy, biomaterials, and pharmaceutical science involving particles, and to bring institutional researchers closer to professionals in industries.
Particulate Science and Technology invites articles reporting original contributions and review papers, in particular critical reviews, that are relevant and timely to the emerging and growing fields of particle and powder technology.
Topics include:
Particle dynamics - single and multiple particle systems, optical, electrical, magnetic, mechanical, and electrostatic properties of particles, particle generation, particle size and shape characterization, classification;
Fluid flow through a packed bed of particles; fluidization, applications of fluidized beds, pneumatic transport of powder, dilute and dense phase transport, atmospheric aerosols, dust transport and deposition;
Crushing and grinding, slurry flow systems, rheology of slurry, applications to energy industries, slurry viscosity, slurry handling operation;
Colloids and fine particles - surface properties, interparticle forces, van der Waals, capillary and electrostatic forces, adsorption and desorption properties, surface modification, adhesion and removal forces;
Separation of particles from gas and liquid - cyclones, filtration of particles, sedimentation, diffusion, impaction, electrostatic precipitation, electrodynamic separation processes, powder coating, plasma coating, sintering, superydrophobic coating;
Storage and flow of powders, hopper design, shear cell analysis, vibration, wet scrubbers, granulation, drying;
Mixing and segregation, particle size reduction and size enlargements, particle agglomeration, microencapsulation, dispersion of powders;
Health effects - lung deposition of inhaled particles, pulmonary delivery of micronized drugs, harmful effects of inhaled pollutants, dissolution process;
Nanoparticle technology, size, shape, and structures of nanoparticles, synthesis of nanostructures such as nanotubes, core-shell designs, and their characterization, dispensation and coating of nanoparticles, industrial, renewable energy and medical applications;
Hazard mitigation, particle contamination control, dust hazard mitigation in space exploration, fire and explosion hazards, prevention of dust cloud explosion, powder electrostatics, electrostatic discharge control, safety requirements
All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editors, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single anonymized and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.

Understanding and using journal metrics
Journal metrics can be a useful tool for readers, as well as for authors
who are deciding where to submit their next manuscript for publication.
However, any one metric only tells a part of the story of a journal’s
quality and impact. Each metric has its limitations which means that it
should never be considered in isolation, and metrics should be used to
support and not replace qualitative review.
We strongly recommend that you always use a number of metrics, alongside
other qualitative factors such as a journal’s aims & scope, its
readership, and a review of past content published in the journal. In
addition, a single article should always be assessed on its own merits and
never based on the metrics of the journal it was published in.
Usage and acceptance rate data above are for the last full calendar year
and are updated annually in February. Speed data is updated every six
months, based on the prior six months. Citation metrics are updated
annually mid-year. Please note that some journals do not display all of
the following metrics
(find out why).
Usage:
the total number of times articles in the journal were viewed by users
of Taylor & Francis Online in the previous calendar year, rounded to the
nearest thousand.
Citation Metrics
Impact Factor*:
the average number of citations received by articles published in the
journal within a two-year window. Only journals in the Clarivate Science
Citation Index Expanded (SCIE), Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI),
Arts and Humanities Citation Index (AHCI) and the Emerging Sources
Citation Index (ESCI) have an Impact Factor.
Impact Factor Best Quartile*:
the journal’s highest subject category ranking in the Journal Citation
Reports. Q1 = 25% of journals with the highest Impact Factors.
5 Year Impact Factor*:
the average number of citations received by articles in the journal
within a five-year window.
CiteScore (Scopus)†:
the average number of citations received by articles in the journal over
a four-year period.
CiteScore Best Quartile†:
the journal’s highest CiteScore ranking in a Scopus subject category. Q1
= 25% of journals with the highest CiteScores.
SNIP
(Source Normalized Impact per Paper):
the number of citations per paper in the journal, divided by citation
potential in the field.
SJR
(Scimago Journal Rank):
Average number of (weighted) citations in one year, divided by the
number of articles published in the journal in the previous three years.
Speed/acceptance
From submission to first decision:
the average (median) number of days for a manuscript submitted to the
journal to receive a first decision. Based on manuscripts receiving a
first decision in the last six months.
From submission to first post-review decision:
the average (median) number of days for a manuscript submitted to the
journal to receive a first decision if it is sent out for peer review.
Based on manuscripts receiving a post-review first decision in the last
six months.
From acceptance to online publication:
the average (median) number of days from acceptance of a manuscript to
online publication of the Version of Record. Based on articles published
in the last six months.
Acceptance rate:
articles accepted for publication by the journal in the previous
calendar year as percentage of all papers receiving a final decision.
