COLLOID JOURNAL

Colloid Journal (Kolloidnyi Zhurnal) is the only journal in Russia that publishes the results of research in the area of chemical science dealing with the disperse state of matter and surface phenomena in disperse systems. The journal covers experimental and theoretical works on a great variety of colloid and surface phenomena: the structure and properties of interfaces; adsorption phenomena and structure of adsorption layers of surfactants; capillary phenomena; wetting films; wetting and spreading; and detergency. The formation of colloid systems, their molecular-kinetic and optical properties, surface forces, interaction of colloidal particles, stabilization, and criteria of stability loss of different disperse systems (lyosols and aerosols, suspensions, emulsions, foams, and micellar systems) are also topics of the journal. Colloid Journal also includes the phenomena of electro- and diffusiophoresis, electro- and thermoosmosis, and capillary and reverse osmosis, i.e., phenomena dealing with the existence of diffusion layers of molecules and ions in the vicinity of the interface.PEER REVIEWColloid Journal Institute is a peer reviewed journal. We use a single blind peer review format. Our team of reviewers includes over 110 reviewers, both internal and external (80%), from 13 countries. The average period from submission to first decision in 2017 was 20 days, and that from first decision to acceptance was 20 days. The final decision on the acceptance of an article for publication is made by the Editorial Board.Any invited reviewer who feels unqualified or unable to review the manuscript due to the conflict of interests should promptly notify the editors and decline the invitation. Reviewers should formulate their statements clearly in a sound and reasoned way so that authors can use reviewer’s arguments to improve the manuscript. Personal criticism of the authors must be avoided. Reviewers should indicate in a review (i) any relevant published work that has not been cited by the authors, (ii) anything that has been reported in previous publications and not given appropriate reference or citation, (iii) any substantial similarity or overlap with any other manuscript (published or unpublished) of which they have personal knowledge.

《胶体杂志》（Kolloidnyi-Zhurnal）是俄罗斯唯一一本发表有关化学科学领域内有关物质分散状态和分散系统中表面现象的研究成果的杂志。该杂志涵盖了各种胶体和表面现象的实验和理论工作：界面的结构和性质；表面活性剂吸附层的吸附现象和结构；毛细管现象；润湿膜；润湿和扩散；以及去污性。胶体系统的形成、其分子动力学和光学性质、表面力、胶粒的相互作用、稳定性以及不同分散系统（溶胶和气溶胶、悬浮液、乳液、泡沫和胶束系统）的稳定性损失标准也是本杂志的主题。《胶体杂志》还包括电渗透和扩散渗透、电渗透和热渗透以及毛细管和反渗透现象，即处理界面附近分子和离子扩散层存在的现象。同行评议胶体杂志研究所是一个同行评审的杂志。我们使用单盲同行评审格式。我们的审查小组包括来自13个国家的110多名内部和外部审查员（80%）。2017年从提交到第一次决定的平均期限为20天，从第一次决定到接受的平均期限为20天。接受发表文章的最后决定由编辑委员会作出。受邀审稿人因利益冲突，认为审稿不合格或者不能审稿的，应当及时通知编辑，拒绝邀请。审稿人应以合理、合理的方式清楚地陈述自己的观点，以便作者能够利用审稿人的论点来改进手稿。必须避免对作者的个人批评。审稿人应在审稿中指出：（1）作者未引用的任何相关出版作品；（2）以前出版物中报道的任何内容，但未给出适当的参考或引用；（3）任何实质性相似或重叠与其他手稿(发表或未发表)的个人知识。
