International Journal of Self-Propagating High-Temperature Synthesis is a peer-reviewed journal, which covers a wide range of topics related to self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS), the process for the production of advanced materials based on solid-state combustion utilizing internally generated chemical energy. Subjects range from the fundamentals of SHS processes, chemistry and technology of SHS products and advanced materials to problems concerned with related fields, such as the kinetics and thermodynamics of high-temperature chemical reactions, combustion theory, macroscopic kinetics of nonisothermic processes, etc. The journal is intended to provide a wide-ranging exchange of research results and a better understanding of developmental and innovative trends in SHS science and applications. The journal welcomes manuscripts from all countries. PEER REVIEW International Journal of Self-Propagating High-Temperature Synthesis is a peer reviewed journal. We use a single blind and open peer review formats. The average period from submission to first decision is 30 days. The average rejection rate for submitted manuscripts is 15%. The final decision on the acceptance of an article for publication is made by the Editor-in-Chief. 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appropriate reference or citation, (ii) any substantial similarity or overlap with any other manuscript (published or unpublished) of which they have personal knowledge. Offers thorough coverage of Self-propagating high-temperature synthesis Covers fundamentals of SHS processes, chemistry and technology of SHS products and advanced materials Explores related fields, including thermodynamics of high-temperature chemical reactions, combustion theory and more Discusses research results and analyzes trends in SHS science and applications Presents reviews, papers, brief communications and letters
