Hi All,
 
I am sorry for my question. I would like to ask you about submitting for J.Phys.Chem. and J.Chem.Phys. in Computational Chemistry.
 
(1) Which type of paper does J.Phys.Chem. like ?
(2) Which type of paper does J.Chem.Phys. like ?
(3) If one hesite to submit for JPC or JCP, which factor should be conidered ?
 
Thanks,
