Chemical Society Reviews is a bimonthly peer-reviewed scientific journal publishing review articles on topics of current interest in chemistry. Its predecessors were Quarterly Reviews, Chemical Society (1947–1971) and Royal Institute of Chemistry, Reviews (1968–1971). The editor-in-chief is Robert Eagling.
The journal is published by the Royal Society of Chemistry and has a 2010 impact factor of 26.583, ranking it as the journal with the second highest impact factor in the "General Chemistry" category.[1]
Chemical Society Reviews publishes occasional themed issues on new and emerging areas of research in the chemical sciences. These issues are edited by a guest editor who is a specialist in their field. Since 2005, Chemical Society Reviews has published reviews on topics of broad appeal, termed "social interest" reviews, such as articles on art conservation, forensics, and automotive fuels.
Chemical Society Reviews is abstracted and indexed in MEDLINE.
Chemical Society Reviews publishes "Tutorial reviews" and "Critical reviews". The former are written to be of relevance both to the general research chemist who is new to the field, as well as the expert, whereas the latter aim to provide a deeper understanding of the topic in hand, but retain their accessibility through an introduction written for the general reader.
