About the Journal
AIM AND SCOPE
Journal of Composites and Compounds (JCC), in publication since 2019, is a peer-reviewed, international, open access journal which aims to publish high quality refereed original research and review papers in the field of engineering composites and compounds ranging from nano- to macro-scale. JCC encourages manuscripts reporting innovative and unique contributions to the aspects such as chemistry, physics and materials science of composites and compounds. Manuscripts dealing with multi-functional and multi-scale issues and performance as well as interdisciplinary approaches to the study of new composites are welcome. In addition, novel composites with significant potential for engineering applications are encouraged. These may include, but are not limited to, biomedical composites, nanocomposites, green/eco composites, and composites mimicking natural materials. Besides, analytical work should be validated. It would be our pleasure to welcome researcher's articles in the fields below
- Design of composites and compounds
Ceramic-matrix composites (CMCs), Metal-matrix composites (MMCs), Polymer-matrix composites (PMCs), Thermoplastic composites, Bioceramics, and Bioglasses as well as functionalization
- Processing and manufacturing
Methods of synthesis e.g. amorphisation, wet chemical synthesis, crystal growth, gas-solid reactions, laser processing, liquid-solid reactions, precipitation, powder metallurgy, mechanical alloying, mechanochemical processing, nano fabrications, rapid-solidification, quenching, sintering, sol-gel processes, solid state reactions, vapor deposition
- Fields of application
Clinical/Biological applications, Nanotechnology, Energy, Sensors, Catalysis, Environmental applications
- Surface modification
Coating methods, Thick films, Thin films, Multilayer coating, FGM coating, Anti corrosion coating, Thermal barrier coating and etc.
- Numerical investigation
Simulations, Modelling, Computational study
STATEMENT

EDITORIAL CONTENT THAT IS APPROPRIATE
Once the evaluation procedures are completed, the publications of different areas can be deposited directly into the online repository, which is sought by academic institutions, scientific organizations, professional associations, governmental and non-governmental departments, and other well-established organizations. Furthermore, all submitted publications would be required to be assigned a DOI generated by cross-reference, ensuring that up-to-date knowledge on different disciplines of published papers in JCC reaches the global community effectively and on time.
TARGET READERS
JCC assisted in learning about the rationale and methods to composite and compound materials via the details of published technical study articles on Design of composites and compounds, as well as their Processing and manufacturing, Fields of application, Surface modification, and Numerical investigation. Besides that, the knowledge disseminated in the JCC can be useful for government, non-government, and private sector organizations to revise the existing monitoring techniques,
Students, researchers, scholars, scientists, and industrialists from across the world have also taken part in efforts to provide composite and compound materials. As a result, the JCC level is structured for postgraduate and research fields, as well as industrial firms, to gain expertise from the widely disseminated details of the published papers in JCC, which is extremely appealing on a global scale.
PRIMARY VALUE
JCC Journal's fundamental principles at global discovery are:
• Scientific integrity
• Quality
• Knowledge sharing
• Transparency
• Originality
• Creativity

ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE EDITOR
Editors of scientific publications have responsibilities toward the authors who contribute to the journals' material, peer reviewers who comment on manuscripts' feasibility for publication, journal readers and the scientific community, journal publishers, and the general public.
INTEGRITY
The JCC has a strict ethical framework that adheres to the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) principles. When collaborating with JCC, readers, writers, reviewers, and editors should adhere to these ethical guidelines.
EVALUATION AFTER PUBLICATION
In addition to a fast peer-review process, the JCC has Post-Publication Evaluation by the scientific community. Post-publication evaluation is focused on ensuring that the published research, review, and case report meet specific standards and that the conclusions presented are justified.
THE AUTHORSHIP
All contributing authors should be able to claim authorship. The order of authorship should be decided by the coauthors collectively. Adequate participation in the work is important.
COPYRIGHT
Upon acceptance of an article, authors will be asked to complete a ‘Copyright form’ and transfer copyright of the article to the Publisher. Read the following Link for more information.
CONFLICT OF INTEREST
Authors are asked to indicate whether they have any impending conflicts when submitting their articles to JCC using the Conflict of Interest Disclosure Form (Conflict of Interest Disclosure Form). More information can be found here.
REQUIRED CORRECTIONS
When an author(s) discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in his/her published work, they should do the instructions explained in Fundamental errors in published works.
RESUBMISSIONS
Manuscripts that have been rejected are not eligible for further consideration by the JCC and should not be resubmitted. If a revision is permitted, the Editor's decision would state this clearly. Other revisions of previously rejected manuscripts will be returned to the authors quickly without review.
