Pure and Applied Chemistry (PAC) is the flagship journal of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). PAC advances chemistry worldwide by publishing:
- IUPAC formal Recommendations and Technical Reports
This is where you will find the very latest IUPAC recommendations on data standards, nomenclature and terminology. Next to the IUPAC Colour Books, PAC is the only authoritative source for IUPAC recommendations, which are published after an exceptionally rigorous review process to provide standards that you can trust.
- Review articles that explore critical areas of development in chemistry
PAC review articles identify dynamic areas of chemistry with significant impact on global advancement. This is your source to remain at the forefront of chemistry.
- Special issues on emergent and topical concerns in the chemical sciences
PAC special issues highlight pioneering technologies, foster innovative collaboration across chemical disciplines and showcase examples of chemistry standards and FAIR data principles in practice.
All of this ensures that you can rely on PAC’s content to provide you with the best examples of practical open chemistry, as a part of IUPAC’s mission to provide the common language for chemistry and support the free exchange of scientific information.
From January 2024 onwards, PAC invites open submission of review articles and research articles. Technical reports and recommendations are by invitation only.
Audience: Students, researchers and industrial practitioners of all fields of pure and applied chemistry.

Activities and Actions Towards a Sustainable Future
‘Sustainable action begins with a conversation‘, and the role that chemists play in the achievement of a sustainable future is vital. For us to tackle the current societal and environmental challenges and address the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), urgent actions are needed worldwide. The Global Conversation on Sustainability (GCS) is a joint project by the International Younger Chemists Network (IYCN) and IUPAC launched in 2022 which aims to address the UN SDGs by raising awareness and encouraging global conversations among diverse stakeholders, including university scientists, governmental and non-governmental organizations, business entities, and the whole scientific community on sustainability. In this special issue of Pure and Applied Chemistry we aim to publish diverse formats from GCS events. Feature, opinion, and perspective articles by the global chemistry community on the topic are also welcome. For further information on this special issue and how you can contribute please see the full overview here.
Guest editors - João Borges (Senior Researcher at CICECO – Aveiro Institute of Materials, Department of Chemistry, University of Aveiro, Portugal; Task Group Chair of the IYCN/IUPAC Joint Project Global Conversation on Sustainability) and Juliana L. Vidal (Higher Education Program Manager at Beyond Benign; Task Group member of the IYCN/IUPAC Joint Project Global Conversation on Sustainability)
The deadline for article submissions is 30 April 2024. If you are interested in contributing, please e-mail an outline of your proposed article to contact@gcs-day.org
