I am planning to write a book about computational chemistry typesetting in typst. I would like to have the information in terms of a list which journals are accepting typst files as submission for the article or review or conference proceedings for now. And also what is the general way of convincing the publishers to accept it.
I don’t think there are journals that accept Typst (as in a .typ file), at least I haven’t seen any mentions on Typst Discord or here.
There was some discussion at PCI/PCJ when someone submitted using a quarto template
I don’t know what came out of it, but the template is not in the submission guidelines, probably due to lack of maintenance or interest
I did publish an article written with Typst at QRS 2022 and my takeway is that for now it just end up adding a lot of work for someone along the way.
The conference recomended LaTeX or Word as must CS conferences do but never required any of the two. In a brilliantly short-sighted move I took it literally and submitted a Typst PDF that got accepted. Some time later they asked for the source and I had to explain that I had no LaTeX source. I made all sources available to them and they did not ask more questions.
The article is now fully available on IEEEexplore and looks identical to any other LaTeX article, both in the web and PDF version. I suppose someone had to spend some time insulting me and converting my PDF to something their system can work with. Given that Typst doe not export to HTML (especially no at the time), I have no idea how they did that but they managed.
Bottom line, I will stick with LaTeX for official work until I know they are accepting Typst and I know I am not making someone miserable. I am just starting my academic career so hopefully before I retire they’ll support it!
PS: It speaks for the quality of the Typst IEEE template because the paper did not get desk-reject based on the formatting.

I think some journals/conferences do accept PDF, without asking for sources. Examples coming to mind are conferences on the OpenReview platform (NeurIPS, ICLR, ICLM, … and many others), preprint repositories (arXiv, biorXiv), and maybe others.
Is there anything we as a community can do to push towards adoption of typst in more journals? Perhaps the more “progressive” ones, say like OpenReview (that is push for them to also accept typst sources), Elife, etc. …
I think that without journal support, it will be very very hard for typst to grow.

I think growing Typst’s user base is a good plan. So basically, talking about Typst in your local network 
! If people have connections in relevant places, they might be able to intervene and try to push for Typst adoption, but unless a significant user base asks for Typst support in submissions processes, I am skeptical of the effectiveness of any proactive lobbying, which might as well just be noise to editors/administrators.
