Accepted Manuscript Categories

Jurnal Kimia VALENSI publishes peer-reviewed scholarly contributions in theoretical, experimental, computational, and applied chemistry. The journal accepts submissions from researchers in Indonesia and internationally.

Manuscripts must demonstrate relevance to the journal's Focus and Scope, meet applicable originality and research-integrity standards, and comply with the journal's Author Guidelines and official manuscript template.

1. Original Research Article

Original Research Articles report new scientific findings based on original experimental observations, theoretical developments, computational studies, analytical investigations, or other systematic research approaches.

A suitable research article should:

• Identify a relevant scientific problem and demonstrate its significance.
• Present the current state of research and explain the research gap.
• Demonstrate scientific novelty or a substantial original contribution.
• Describe research methods and analytical procedures sufficiently for evaluation and reproducibility.
• Present valid results supported by appropriate scientific evidence.
• Discuss findings critically in relation to relevant theories and previous studies.
• Provide conclusions directly supported by the research results.

2. Review Article

Review Articles provide comprehensive, critical, and original syntheses of existing scientific literature in a defined area of chemistry. Rather than merely summarizing previous publications, a review should evaluate scientific developments, identify inconsistencies, examine unresolved questions, and propose meaningful future directions.

A high-quality Review Article should:

• Define a coherent and scientifically significant topic.
• Present the current state of knowledge and major developments.
• Critically compare findings, methods, and interpretations across relevant studies.
• Identify scientific disagreements, methodological limitations, and unresolved questions.
• Develop a meaningful conceptual or analytical synthesis.
• Provide evidence-based conclusions and directions for future research.

Review manuscripts are considered by editorial invitation only and remain subject to the journal's scientific evaluation, peer-review requirements, and applicable publication policies.

3. Short Communication

Short Communications present concise reports of original and scientifically meaningful findings that can be communicated effectively in a shorter format.

A Short Communication should:

• Address a clearly defined and relevant research question.
• Present original results supported by adequate scientific evidence.
• Explain the novelty and significance of the findings.
• Provide sufficient methodological information for scientific assessment.
• Present a focused discussion without unnecessary repetition.
• Draw conclusions directly supported by the presented data.

The shorter format does not reduce the journal's requirements concerning originality, ethics, methodological validity, reproducibility, or peer review.

General Submission Requirements

• Manuscripts must be within the journal's Focus and Scope.
• Submissions must be original, unpublished, and not under consideration elsewhere.
• Manuscripts must use the official VALENSI template.
• Authors should follow the journal's language requirements; English is strongly encouraged.
• Research evidence must be accurately presented and verifiable.
• Relevant authorship, funding, conflict-of-interest, data-availability, and ethical declarations must be provided where applicable.
• References and citations must follow the journal's prescribed AMA style.
• All eligible submissions are subject to editorial screening and the journal's double-blind peer-review procedures.
