RAISE

RAISE is an instructor-reviewed journal publishes papers in the field of electrochemistry with a specific aim to fill the instructional gap between broad textbooks and advanced scientific studies to help raise the next generation of electrochemists and electrochemical engineers. It is open access with no article processing charge. The papers are typically student-led, but non-students are welcome to submit papers as well. The papers are intended to be easily digestible by novices to the field of electrochemistry while still being analytically rigorous. Each paper is reviewed by a faculty member who is highly experienced in electrochemistry. Papers that do not provide sufficient background nor analytical rigor will not be considered for publication. Original research, reviews, critical and explanatory analysis, and method papers are welcome and encouraged on the following topics (not comprehensive):

• Electroanalytical techniques (voltammetry, chronoamperometry, etc.)
• Fundamental theory (double layer theory, Marcus theory, etc.)
• Electrochemical processing (electrorefining, electrowinning, etc.)
• Batteries and flow cells
• Electrochemical measurements of properties or concentration
• Electrodeposition and electroplating
• Nucleation theory and analysis
• Impedance spectroscopy
• Electrode materials for extreme environments
• Instrumentation and setup for complex arrangements (glovebox, furnaces, etc.)
• Advanced electrochemical models

Other topics may also be considered.

To submit a paper to RAISE, contact the editor (Dr. Devin Rappleye) at devin_rappleye@byu.edu or visit the submission tab above.

Before submitting an article to RAISE, authors are encouraged to submit a 1-2 sentence concept or vision statement to be evaluated and potentially save them effort in preparing a manuscript. Authors will be encouraged or discouraged to prepare a full manuscript within 1-2 weeks. Authors who received a 'discourage' response may revise their concept or vision statement or proceed with submitting a full manuscript. Authors who do not submit a concept or vision statement may also submit a full manuscript. These manuscripts may still be accepted without an encouraged concept or vision statement; however, the likelihood of a rejection is higher.

In preparing your manuscript, use the template and checklist below:

When an article is ready for submission, please email your manuscript to devin_rappleye@byu.edu

Improperly formatted articles will be returned without review for correction but may be re-submitted once corrections have been made.

Accepted articles will be published on this website and BYU Scholars Archive. Upon acceptance, authors are required to include comma-separated values files for all figures to be made available to readers on this website and at BYU Scholars Archive. Articles will not be published until these files are received.
