History

CrystEngComm was one of the first online-only chemistry journals when it was established in 1999. Initially, articles were published online as soon as they were accepted and the journal did not publish articles in issues. However, in 2000 issues were introduced and the journal was published monthly. As submissions increased, the journal switched in 2011 to a biweekly publication. Authors can elect to have accepted articles published as open access.
The journal has been involved in the development of nomenclature for crystal engineering, which is gradually being adopted by researchers in the field.

Article types

CrystEngComm publishes the following types of articles: Research Papers, Communications, and Highlights.
