Aims and scope

The Journal of Rubber Research is devoted to both natural and synthetic rubbers, as well as to related disciplines. The scope of the journal encompasses all aspects of rubber from the core disciplines of biology, physics and chemistry, as well as economics. As a specialised field, rubber science includes within its niche a vast potential of innovative and value-added research areas yet to be explored. This peer reviewed publication focuses on the results of active experimental research and authoritative reviews on all aspects of rubber science.

The Journal of Rubber Research welcomes research on:

  • the upstream, including crop management, crop improvement and protection, and biotechnology;
  • the midstream, including processing and effluent management;
  • the downstream, including rubber engineering and product design, advanced rubber technology, latex science and technology, and chemistry and materials exploratory;
  • economics, including the economics of rubber production, consumption, and market analysis.

The Journal of Rubber Research serves to build a collective knowledge base while communicating information and validating the quality of research within the discipline, and bringing together work from experts in rubber science and related disciplines.

Scientists in both academia and industry involved in researching and working with all aspects of rubber will find this journal to be both source of information and a gateway for their own publications.

Peer Review Policy of the Journal

Journal of Rubber Research follows a single-blind peer-review process with a minimum of two reviews for each article type. All original articles will undergo single-blind peer reviews by two subject experts. Reviewer selection is carried out by the Editor-in-Chief and the Associate Editors from a classified list of invited and consented reviewers, or from experts from their network, who are widely acclaimed, national and international authorities on the subject and registered in the database through the Editorial manager. In case of a split verdict, a 3rd review is sought. Associate Editors assist the Editor in Chief by handling assigned manuscripts and are totally independent and unbiased in their decision-making with no conflict of interest. They ensure timely publication of the journal, besides overlooking ethical issues and scientific contents of the journal.
