JOURNAL OF MOLECULAR LIQUIDS
Your Paper Your Way
We now differentiate between the requirements for new and revised submissions. You may choose to submit your manuscript as a single Word or PDF file to be used in the refereeing process. Only when your paper is at the revision stage, will you be requested to put your paper in to a 'correct format' for acceptance and provide the items required for the publication of your article.
To find out more, please visit the Preparation section below.
The Journal of Molecular Liquids is an international journal devoted to fundamental aspects of structure, interactions and dynamic processes in simple, molecular and complex liquids.
Types of papers
The journal includes papers in the following areas:
• simple organic liquids and mixtures
• ionic liquids
• surfactant solutions (including micelles and vesicles) and liquid interfaces
• colloidal solutions and nanoparticles
• thermotropic and lyotropic liquid crystals
• ferrofluids
• water, aqueous solutions and other hydrogen-bonded liquids
• lubricants, polymer solutions and melts
• molten metals and salts
• phase transitions and critical phenomena in liquids and confined fluids
• self assembly in complex liquids.
The emphasis is on the molecular (or microscopic) understanding of particular liquids or liquid systems, especially concerning structure, dynamics and intermolecular forces. The experimental techniques used may include:
• Conventional spectroscopy (mid-IR and far-IR, Raman, NMR, etc.)
• Non-linear optics and time resolved spectroscopy (psec, fsec, asec, ISRS, etc.)
• Light scattering (Rayleigh, Brillouin, PCS, etc.)
• Dielectric relaxation
• X-ray and neutron scattering and diffraction.
Experimental studies, computer simulations (MD or MC) and analytical theory will be considered for publication; papers just reporting experimental results that do not contribute to the understanding of the fundamentals of molecular and ionic liquids will not be accepted.
Submission checklist
You can use this list to carry out a final check of your submission before you send it to the journal for review. Please check the relevant section in this Guide for Authors for more details.

Declaration of competing interest
All authors must disclose any financial and personal relationships with other people or organizations that could inappropriately influence (bias) their work. Examples of potential conflicts of interest include employment, consultancies, stock ownership, honoraria, paid expert testimony, patent applications/registrations, and grants or other funding. All authors, including those without competing interests to declare, should create a declaration of competing interest statement (which, where relevant, may specify they have nothing to declare). To do so, authors should use this tool and upload to the submission system at the Attach Files step. Please do not convert the .docx template to another file type. Author signatures are not required.
