The international journal of Petroleum Science and Technology publishes original, high-quality peer-reviewed research and review articles that explore:
The fundamental science of fluid-fluid and rock-fluids interactions and multi-phase interfacial and transport phenomena through porous media related to advanced petroleum recovery processes,
The application of novel concepts and processes for enhancing recovery of subsurface energy resources in a carbon-sensitive manner,
Case studies of scaling up the laboratory research findings to field pilots and field-wide applications.
Other salient technological challenges facing the petroleum industry.
We are especially keen to receive contributions from authors whose research looks at the following general areas:
Fluid-fluid interactions (solubility, miscibility, phase behavior) of hydrocarbons in the presence of surfactants, nanofluids, CO2 and other agents that could enhance petroleum recovery from both conventional and unconventional (shale-oil, heavy-oil, and bitumen) resources
Rock-fluids interactions of wettability, spreading adhesion and relative permeability characteristics that influence the distribution and multi-phase flow of hydrocarbons in porous subsurface media
Enhanced oil recovery by chemical, gas and heat injection processes
Original research and review articles that address the environmental aspects of petroleum recovery and production
Near wellbore processes, coupling between reservoir and wellbore transport processes, management techniques for good well bore performance
Poroelasticity and hydraulic fracturing studies on reservoir scale that explore the impact of such mechanism on Petroleum Science and Technology
Experimental research as well as theoretical and multiscale modeling work with substantial verification of results

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.
