Information For Authors

A Focused Platform for High-Quality Polymer Research

The Journal of Research Updates in Polymer Science (JRUPS) welcomes submissions from researchers, academics, and industry professionals presenting innovative work across all areas of polymer science.

The journal is indexed in Scopus, ensuring strong visibility and global discoverability of published research.

As the journal is featured at the 51st IUPAC World Polymer Congress (MACRO 2026), we invite contributors to take advantage of a responsive, author-centered publication model designed to maximize both speed and visibility.

 

Scope of the Journal

JRUPS publishes high-quality research in:

  • Polymer synthesis and characterization
  • Polymer chemistry and physics
  • Functional and smart polymers
  • Nanopolymers and composites
  • Biopolymers and sustainable materials
  • Industrial and applied polymer technologies

 

Why Publish with JRUPS?

1. Author-Centered Publishing Model

We prioritize the author experience — efficient communication, transparent decisions, and structured editorial handling.

2. Rapid and Structured Publication

  • Approx. 6 weeks from submission to publication
  • Continuous publication + quarterly issue structuring
  • Timely visibility of accepted work

 

3. High Visibility & Targeted Promotion

Your work is not just published — it is actively promoted:

  • Circulation to 1,000+ active researchers in polymer science
  • Inclusion in targeted academic email campaigns
  • Increased exposure for readership and citations

4. International Editorial Network

Our editorial board includes researchers across multiple regions and disciplines, ensuring:

  • Fair and relevant peer review
  • Broad academic reach

Article Processing Charge (APC)

  • USD 630 per article after peer review and acceptance

This supports:

  • Editorial processing
  • Peer review management
  • Copyediting and production
  • Hosting and dissemination
  • Post-publication promotion

We aim to provide high-value publishing at a significantly lower cost compared to major commercial publishers.
