Membranes and Membrane Technologies is a peer-reviewed journal that publishes original articles and reviews dedicated to scientific research and industrial applications in the field of membranes and membrane technologies. Articles focusing on the synthesis, characterization, and testing of membrane materials are also welcome. The journal covers the following main areas: new membrane materials, highly efficient polymeric and inorganic membranes; membranes characterization; testing of membrane materials; hybrid membranes, nanocomposites and nanostructured membranes; aqueous and non-aqueous filtration processes (micro-, ultra-, and nanofiltration; reverse osmosis); gas separation; electromembrane processes, fuel cells; membrane pervaporation and membrane distillation; membrane catalysis and membrane reactors; water desalination and waste water treatment; hybrid membrane processes; membrane-based sensors; membrane extraction and membrane emulsification; mathematical modeling of porous structures and membrane separation processes; membrane characterization; membrane technologies in industry (energy, mining, pharmaceuticals and medicine, chemistry and petroleum chemistry, food industry, etc.); membranes for environmental protection (“green chemistry”). The journal has a vision of becoming an international publication and encourages manuscript submissions from authors around the world. PEER REVIEW Membranes and Membrane Technologies is a peer reviewed journal. We use a single blind peer review format. The average period from submission to first decision is 10 days. The average rejection rate for submitted manuscripts is 27%. The final decision on the acceptance of an article for publication is made by the Editorial Board. Any invited reviewer who feels unqualified or unable to review the manuscript due to the conflict of interests should promptly notify the editors and decline the invitation. Reviewers should formulate their statements clearly in a sound and reasoned way so that authors can use reviewer’s arguments to improve the manuscript. Personal criticism of the authors must be avoided. Reviewers should indicate in a review (i) any relevant published work that has not been cited by the authors, (ii) anything that has been reported in previous publications and not given appropriate reference or citation, (ii) any substantial similarity or overlap with any other manuscript (published or unpublished) of which they have personal knowledge. Highly interdisciplinary journal at the cutting edge of membrane technologies Covers topical research, technological advances and applications Editorial Board of leading experts including representatives from industry
