The journal Organic Process Research & Development serves as a communication tool between industrial chemists and chemists working in universities and research institutes. As such, it reports original work from the broad field of industrial process chemistry but also presents academic results that are relevant, or potentially relevant, to industrial applications. Process chemistry is the science that enables the safe, environmentally benign and ultimately economical manufacturing of organic compounds that are required in larger amounts to help address the needs of society. Consequently, the Journal encompasses every aspect of organic chemistry, including all aspects of catalysis, synthetic methodology development and synthetic strategy exploration, but also includes aspects from analytical and solid-state chemistry and chemical engineering, such as work-up tools，process safety, or flow-chemistry. The goal of development and optimization of chemical reactions and processes is their transfer to a larger scale; original work describing such studies and the actual implementation on scale is highly relevant to the journal. However, studies on new developments from either industry, research institutes or academia that have not yet been demonstrated on scale, but where an industrial utility can be expected and where the study has addressed important prerequisites for a scale-up and has given confidence into the reliability and practicality of the chemistry, also serve the mission of OPR&D as a communication tool between the different contributors to the field.The Journal aims to cover R&D from and for the fine organic chemicals and specialty chemicals industries, including pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, electronic chemicals, flavors and fragrances, intermediates, food additives, and specialty polymers, with work from commodity chemicals, petrochemicals, and polymers being appropriate as well.Several types of manuscripts are admissible: Full Papers describe original work that has not been previously published and that is not for consideration for publication elsewhere. The experimental section of a Full Paper describing the work performed on a preparative scale is a valuable asset of the journal and should be included whenever possible. A Communication focuses on a specific topic of high relevance, e.g. by presenting a new reaction and its development to a preparative usefulness. Any content that has been made publicly available, either in print or electronic format, and that contains a significant amount of the information presented in the manuscript, jeopardizes the originality of the work and may thus preclude publication. Manuscript topics for which an industrial patent application has been published are an exception to this rule, as patents serve primarily legal and business purposes in contrast to the scientific communication of the Journal.The Journal also welcomes reviews that cover a topic of general importance for the field of process research. These may be limited to the work of the author or be more comprehensive of the field. Additionally, the scientific framework for developments in the industries is covered by the Journal by providing perspectives and trends on important developments for the field of process research. Given the industrial relevance, topics dealing with the legal environment of the industry, such as regulatory requirements and environmental regulations, or safety considerations, are especially suitable. Highlights from the Literature and Highlights from the Patents will continue to be published as a service to our readers.In summary, Organic Process Research & Development serves the community interested in the practical application of organic chemistry, both in industry and academia, by publishing original scientific work, reviews on relevant topics, as well as highlights pertinent to our readers.

《有機過程研究與發展》雜志是大學和研究機構的工業化學家和化學家之間的交流工具。因此，它報告了工業過程化學的廣泛領域的原始工作，也提出了與工業應用相關或潛在相關的學術成果。過程化學是一門能夠安全、環保、最終經濟地生產有機化合物的科學，而有機化合物的生產量更大，有助于滿足社會的需要。因此，該雜志涵蓋了有機化學的各個方面，包括催化、合成方法論開發和合成策略探索的各個方面，但也包括分析和固態化學和化學工程的各個方面，如工作工具、工藝安全或流動化學。化學反應和過程的發展和優化的目標是它們向更大范圍的轉移；描述這類研究的原始工作和實際的大規模實施與該期刊密切相關。然而，對工業、研究機構或學術界的新發展的研究，尚未在規模上得到證明，但在工業實用性可以預期的情況下，以及在該研究已經解決了擴大規模的重要先決條件，并對化學的可靠性和實用性給予了信心的情況下，也起到了作用。作為該領域不同貢獻者之間溝通工具的Opr&D的使命。該雜志旨在涵蓋精細有機化學品和特種化學品行業的研發，包括制藥、農用化學品、電子化學品、香料和香料、中間體、食品添加劑和特種聚合物，同時也包括商品化學品、石化產品和聚合物的研發。有幾種手稿是可以接受的：全文描述了以前沒有出版過的原作，也不考慮在別處出版。全文的實驗部分描述了在準備階段所做的工作，是期刊的寶貴資產，應盡可能包括在內。交流的重點是一個具有高度相關性的特定主題，例如，通過提出一個新的反應及其發展，以達到準備的有用性。以印刷或電子形式向公眾公開的任何內容，以及包含大量手稿中呈現的信息的任何內容，都會損害作品的原創性，從而妨礙出版。發表工業專利申請的手稿主題是本規則的例外，因為與期刊的科學傳播相比，專利主要用于法律和商業目的。該期刊還歡迎對過程研究領域具有普遍重要性的評論。這些可能僅限于作者的作品或更全面的領域。此外，《工業發展科學框架》通過提供過程研究領域重要發展的觀點和趨勢而被該雜志所涵蓋。考慮到行業相關性，涉及行業法律環境的主題，如監管要求和環境法規，或安全考慮，尤其適用。文獻中的亮點和專利中的亮點將繼續出版，以服務讀者。綜上所述，有機過程研究與開發通過出版原始科學著作、相關主題評論以及與讀者相關的重點，為對有機化學在工業和學術領域的實際應用感興趣的社區服務。
