Author Guidelines
al Kimiya: Jurnal Ilmu Kimia dan Terapan is published by the Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science and Technology, UIN Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung. The main objective of this periodical publication is to publish original and scientific contributions to pure and applied chemistry. What is meant by pure chemistry here traditionally concerns the study of special fields of Inorganic Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, Physical Chemistry, and Analytical Chemistry, while in applied chemistry we focus on the publication of the results of the application of chemistry in the fields of food, energy, and environment. al Kimiya Journal publishes short communication and research articles in English.
In our perspective, chemistry must also be able to support the needs of Muslims in carrying out their worship, so that we also receive and publish the results of their chemical and applied research which are classified as contributing to the problem of Islamic religious values. We also support the publication of scientific findings in the field of chemistry.
al Kimiya: Jurnal Ilmu Kimia dan Terapan publishes scientifically valuable manuscripts that can help to understand and affirm the concepts of chemistry, both related to fundamental issues and in their applied perspective. Publish twice a year, June and December.
1. The scope of the journal
The scope of al Kimiya: Jurnal Ilmu Kimia dan Terapan's publication included general studies and special studies. The general studies are pure chemistry in general and in specific fields as follows:
- Study of inorganic, organic, and biochemical substances/materials that have traditionally been successively entered into studies of inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, and biochemistry. Some examples of specific topics from the study of these substances are bioinorganic, bioorganic, organometallic, heterogeneous catalysts, transition metal chemistry and coordination chemistry (complex), metabolism, enzymology, natural material chemistry, and solids.
- Study of the physical and chemical properties of matter and their changes that have traditionally entered into the study of physical chemistry. Some examples of specific topics from this study are reaction kinetics and mechanisms, surface chemistry, polymers, dyes, thermo (dynamics) chemistry, theoretical chemistry, and computation, membrane, catalysis, radiochemistry, electrochemistry, photochemistry and spectroscopy.
- Experimental studies and chemical instrumentation that have traditionally entered into analytic chemistry studies. Some examples of specific topics from this study are spectroscopy, microscopy, and chromatography.
Specific studies that can be raised in the publication of al Kimiya: Jurnal Ilmu Kimia dan Terapan in general are as follows:
- Study of applied chemistry in the field of food. Some examples of specific topics from this study are proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, additives, food coloring agents, and food chemical technologies related to these topics.
- Study of applied chemistry in the energy field. Some examples of specific topics from this study are photochemistry, cell chemistry fuel, biomass, petroleum and natural gas fuels, renewable chemical energy sources, and chemical energy conversion;
- Study of applied chemistry in the field of environment. Some examples of specific topics from this study are soil chemistry, aquatic chemistry, atmospheric chemistry, green chemistry, toxicology, and water treatment.
- Pure chemistry studies as well as applied in the problem of local wisdom. This study was inspired by the lack of habits (traditions) in local tribe customs or culture related to the use of substances from nature. "Back to Nature" can be the ultimate term to describe the contribution of culture to modern traditions that are more prudent in managing nature.
- Pure and applied chemistry studies to understand the universality values of Islam rahmatan lil alamin.
