Crystal Growth & Design旨在促进从事晶体生长、晶体工程和晶体材料工业应用领域的科学家和工程师之间知识的交叉融合。该期刊收录与晶体材料设计、生长和应用有关的物理、化学和生物现象及过程的理论及实验研究。本期刊鼓励采用来自不同学科、技术，并整合晶体生长、晶体工程、分子间相互作用和工业应用领域的协同方法。同时，期刊还着重强调晶体生长基本概念的提出，并支持进一步理解晶体生长条件与晶体所产生的特性（例如晶体形状、导电性、溶解性）之间的关系。
The aim of Crystal Growth & Design is to stimulate cross fertilization of knowledge among scientists and engineers working in the fields of crystal growth, crystal engineering, and the industrial application of crystalline materials and molecular assemblies.
Crystal Growth & Design publishes theoretical and experimental studies of the physical, chemical, and biological phenomena and processes related to the design, growth, and application of crystalline materials. Synergistic approaches originating from different disciplines and technologies and integrating the fields of crystal growth, crystal engineering, intermolecular interactions, and industrial application are encouraged.
Contributions emphasizing the fundamental concepts of crystal growth or molecular assembly and supporting further understanding of the relationship between assembly conditions and resulting properties or function of the material are highlighted. The journal does not publish routine reports of new material morphologies unless the morphology leads to significantly improved function or properties.
