Organic Process Research & Development 是化学工业界和学术界沟通的桥梁。正因为如此，它不仅报道工业过程化学领域的原创性工作，还介绍与工业应用相关或潜在相关的学术成果。过程化学是一门能够安全、无污染并最终经济地制造出大量有机化合物的科学，以帮助解决社会的需求。因此，本刊涵盖了有机化学的各个方面，包括催化、合成方法学开发和合成策略探索的所有方面，但也包括分析和固态化学以及化学工程的各个方面，如检测手段、过程安全和流动化学。化学反应开发与优化的目标就是能量产；介绍这类研究和实际规模实施的原创性研究与本刊高度相关。然而，那些来自企业、研究所或学术界的新研究，尚未能实现规模生产，但预期有工业化的潜质，或能解决工业化过程中的重大问题，或对其可靠性和实用性充满了信心的研究，本刊也会予以考虑。 The journal Organic Process Research & Development serves as a communication tool between industrial chemists and chemists working in universities and research institutes. As such, it reports original work from the broad field of industrial process chemistry but also presents academic results that are relevant, or potentially relevant, to industrial applications. Process chemistry is the science that enables the safe, environmentally benign and ultimately economical manufacturing of organic compounds that are required in larger amounts to help address the needs of society. Consequently, the Journal encompasses every aspect of organic chemistry, including all aspects of catalysis, synthetic methodology development and synthetic strategy exploration, but also includes aspects from analytical and solid-state chemistry and chemical engineering, such as work-up tools，process safety, or flow-chemistry. The goal of development and optimization of chemical reactions and processes is their transfer to a larger scale; original work describing such studies and the actual implementation on scale is highly relevant to the journal. However, studies on new developments from either industry, research institutes or academia that have not yet been demonstrated on scale, but where an industrial utility can be expected and where the study has addressed important prerequisites for a scale-up and has given confidence into the reliability and practicality of the chemistry, also serve the mission of OPR&D as a communication tool between the different contributors to the field. The Journal aims to cover R&D from and for the fine organic chemicals and specialty chemicals industries, including pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, electronic chemicals, flavors and fragrances, intermediates, food additives, and specialty polymers, with work from commodity chemicals, petrochemicals, and polymers being appropriate as well.
