2 JOURNAL OF THE ACADEMY OF CHEMISTRY TEACHERS a biannual peer-reviewed research journal of chemistry Vol : 1 (2) Dec 2015 Journal of the Academy of Chemistry Teachers (JACT) is a biannual peer-reviewed research journal of Chemistry published by the Academy of Chemistry Teachers (ACT), Thiruvananthapuram. It is issued half-yearly (Jan-June & July-Dec). JACT solicits research articles in any branch of Chemistry for publication. The journal will cover all aspects of Chemistry from Organic and Inorganic Chemistry to Physical Chemistry, including frontier areas like Computational Chemistry, Combinatorial Chemistry, Green Chemistry and Nanochemistry. JACT will publish short articles of popular interest. Submission of an article implies that it has not been previously published. We hope JACT will usher in a new era of ambitious and innovative research in various novel fields of chemistry. JACT is intended to become a good journal for chemistry in its broadest sense. Manuscripts may be sent as attachment to the Editor. All manuscripts are subject to peer-review and copy-editing.
