Its current impact factor is 1.604 (2014).[1] PEP - how the journal is typically referred to in the energetic materials community - was founded in 1976 by Hiltmar Schubert, then director of the Fraunhofer-Institut für Chemische Technologie (ICT) Pfinztal/Germany and Verlag Chemie/Weinheim. PEP was intended as a successing journal to Explosivstoffe a journal which had appeared between 1953-1975 but which had published exclusively in German.[2]
It is a journal of the International Pyrotechnics Society and is published by Wiley-VCH.
