The Journal of Analytical and Applied Pyrolysis (JAAP) is devoted to the publication of papers dealing with innovative applications of pyrolysis processes, the characterization of products related to pyrolysis reactions, and investigations of reaction mechanism. To be considered by JAAP, a manuscript should present significant progress in these topics. The novelty must be satisfactorily argued in the cover letter. A manuscript with a cover letter to the editor not addressing the novelty is likely to be rejected without review.More specifically, the Scope of the Journal includes:Fundamental pyrolysis research on chemical substances and materials comprising: - experimental studies of pyrolysis reactions such as chemical mechanism and kinetic investigations; this includes preparative pyrolysis methods for the synthesis of novel compounds and mechanisms of high temperature reactions;- computational and theoretical studies of reaction mechanism, kinetics, and thermodynamics are acceptable, provided they are directly related to experimental data, either new or previously published, but they must be described adequately in the paper;- computational processing of pyrolysis data, such as advanced pattern recognition and principal component analysis and other multivariate analyses.Analytical pyrolysis, i.e. the characterization of a material in inert atmosphere by thermally induced degradation reactions;- exploring chemical composition and structure of materials by revealing thermal and chemical decomposition reactions leading to products fully identified by chemical and spectroscopic methods;- applications of analytical pyrolysis in environmental, biological, medical, forensic, cultural heritage, food, geochemical, polymer, and materials science;- new instrumentation and new analytical methods using pyrolysis reactions or to unravel the chemical composition of pyrolysis products.Applied pyrolysis dealing with the development of pyrolysis processes for producing valuable chemicals and/or energy carriers (gas, liquid, solid or electricity) and/or materials from fossil or renewable feedstock or waste, the recycling of materials, and the disposal of toxic substances. The manuscript must discuss the relationships between pyrolysis conditions and product characteristics. This topic includes:- various feedstock (fossil fuels, biomass, wastes, polymers, etc.) and the co-processing of different feedstock;- various thermal processes (slow and fast pyrolysis, torrefaction, carbonization, high pressure pyrolysis, catalytic pyrolysis, deoxygenation, hydropyrolysis, solvent liquefaction).The combination of a pyrolysis process with other types of treatment (mechanical, biological, or chemical) or materials characterization is within the scope of the journal only if the main focus of the manuscript is the pyrolysis process. Integrated processes combining pyrolysis reactors and products purification are welcome, if different pyrolysis conditions are studied. The computational modeling of pyrolysis reactors or processes should be related to experimental data, either new or previously published, but they must be described adequately in the paper.The pyrolysis conditions should be described thoroughly (residence times of solid and vapors, temperature distributions, etc.). The pyrolysis products must be chemically characterized. Catalysts should be physically and chemically characterized before reaction, and, when feasible analysis of catalysts after reaction is also desirable. While this may not always be possible, at least qualitative assessments should be made.The investigation of pyrolysis of a new feedstock or material with conventional methods, but without new development of the pyrolysis process is not sufficiently novel to be considered by JAAP.Review articles are invited by the Editors but may also be proposed in writing to the Review Editor. The subject of review articles should be broad enough to appeal to a wide range of readers. Discussion should be concise, but adequate. More detailed discussion may be appropriate in some cases. It is expected that reviews should be critical rather than just catalogs of published data. They should include the most important, recent advances in the topic, whereas papers of low scientific significance should be given very limited coverage.Out of the scope of JAAPThe Journal does not consider studies based on:- the activation of carbons and characterization of activated carbons;- thermal analysis, mass yields without characterization of the pyrolysis products by chemical and spectroscopic methods;- characterization and application of pyrolysis products, unless clearly related to/aimed at understanding the influence/details of pyrolysis processes and conditions;- theoretical studies, kinetic modelling etc. which are not complemented with or validated by experimental data- combustion, gasification or incineration unless specifically related to the interplay between pyrolysis and oxidation reactions.

《分析與應用熱分解雜志》（JAAP）致力于發表有關熱分解過程創新應用、與熱分解反應有關的產物的表征以及反應機理研究的論文。JAAP認為，手稿應該在這些主題上有重大進展。在求職信中必須令人滿意地論證這種新穎性。如果給編輯的一份手稿附有附信，而沒有說明新穎性，則很可能會在未經審查的情況下被拒絕。更具體地說，日記的范圍包括：化學物質和材料的基本熱解研究，包括：-熱分解反應的實驗研究，如化學機理和動力學研究；這包括制備新化合物的熱分解方法和高溫反應機理；-對反應機理、動力學和熱力學的計算和理論研究是可以接受的，前提是它們與實驗數據直接相關，無論是新的還是以前出版的，但它們必須在論文中充分描述；-熱解數據的計算處理，如高級模式識別、主成分分析等多元分析。分析性熱解，即通過熱誘導降解反應在惰性氣氛中表征材料；-通過揭示熱分解反應和化學分解反應來探索材料的化學成分和結構，從而得到通過化學和光譜方法完全識別的產品；-分析熱分解在環境、生物、醫學、法醫、文化遺產、食品、地球化學、聚合物和材料科學中的應用；-使用新儀器和新的分析方法，利用熱分解反應或分解熱分解產物的化學成分。應用熱分解處理熱分解過程的發展，用于從化石或可再生原料或廢物中生產有價值的化學品和/或能源載體（氣體、液體、固體或電力）和/或材料、材料的回收和有毒物質的處置。手稿必須討論熱解條件與產品特性之間的關系。本主題包括：-各種原料（化石燃料、生物質、廢棄物、聚合物等）及不同原料的共加工；-各種熱過程（慢速和快速熱分解、高溫分解、碳化、高壓熱分解、催化熱分解、脫氧、加氫熱分解、溶劑液化）。只有當手稿的主要焦點是熱分解過程時，熱分解過程與其他類型的處理（機械、生物或化學）或材料特性的組合才在期刊的范圍內。研究了不同的熱分解條件，采用熱分解反應器和產品凈化相結合的綜合工藝是可行的。熱分解反應器或過程的計算模型應與新的或以前發布的實驗數據相關，但本文必須對這些數據進行充分的描述。應徹底描述熱解條件（固體和蒸汽的停留時間、溫度分布等）。熱解產物必須具有化學特征。催化劑應在反應前進行物理和化學性質的表征，并在可行的情況下，對反應后的催化劑進行分析也是可取的。雖然這并非總是可能的，但至少應進行定性評估。用常規方法研究一種新原料或材料的熱分解，但沒有新的熱分解過程的發展，這還不足以被日本航空航天局所考慮。評論文章由編輯邀請，但也可以書面形式提交給評論編輯。評論文章的主題應該足夠廣泛，以吸引廣大讀者。討論應該簡潔，但要充分。在某些情況下，更詳細的討論可能是適當的。預計評論應該是關鍵的，而不僅僅是已發布數據的目錄。它們應該包括該主題最重要的最新進展，而科學意義較低的論文應該被給予非常有限的覆蓋。超出JAAP范圍該雜志不考慮基于以下內容的研究：-活性炭的活化及活性炭的表征；-熱分析、未用化學和光譜法表征熱解產物的質量產率；-熱分解產物的表征和應用，除非與了解熱分解過程和條件的影響/細節有明確的關聯/目的；-沒有實驗數據補充或驗證的理論研究、動力學模型等；-燃燒、氣化或焚燒，除非與熱解和氧化反應之間的相互作用特別相關。
