An essential criterion for acceptance of research articles in the journal is that they provide new physical insight. Please refer to the New Physical Insights virtual issue on what constitutes new physical insight. Manuscripts that are essentially reporting data or applications of data are, in general, not suitable for publication in JPC A.Isolated Molecules, Clusters, Radicals, and Ions; Environmental Chemistry, Geochemistry, and Astrochemistry; New Tools and MethodsA1Kinetics, Dynamics, Photochemistry, and Excited StatesA2Spectroscopy, Molecular Structure, and Quantum ChemistryA3 Environmental, Combustion, and Atmospheric Chemistry; Aerosol Processes, Geochemistry, and AstrochemistryA4 New Tools and Methods in Experiment and TheoryGuidelines for Theory/Computational PapersTo be appropriate for publication in JPC A, theory/computational papers must satisfy at least one of the following criteria:provide significant new physical insight into an experimentally relevant system or processpresent a new theoretical or computational methodology of general interestGuidelines for Nanomaterial PapersTo be appropriate for publication in JPC A, nanomaterial papers should demonstrate an improved understanding of a physical process. Papers that emphasize nanomaterial synthesis and characterization are not appropriate for the Journal.

接受期刊上的研究論文的一個基本標準是它們提供了新的物理洞察力。請參考新物理洞察力虛擬問題，什么構成新的物理洞察力。基本上是報告數據或數據應用的稿件一般不適合在JPC A中出版。孤立分子、團簇、自由基和離子;環境化學、地球化學和天體化學;新工具及方法a1動力學，動力學，光化學，激發態a2光譜學，分子結構，量子化學A3環境、燃燒和大氣化學;氣溶膠過程，地球化學和天體化學實驗和理論方面的新工具和新方法理論/計算論文指南若要在JPC A上發表，理論/計算論文必須符合以下至少一項準則:為實驗相關的系統或過程提供重要的新的物理見解提出一種新的普遍感興趣的理論或計算方法納米材料論文指南為了適合在JPC A上發表，納米材料論文應該展示出對物理過程更好的理解。強調納米材料合成和表征的論文不適合發表在該雜志上。
