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 and the journal is published by the Royal Society of Chemistry. According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2012 impact factor of 24.892, ranking it second out of 152 journals in the category "Chemistry, Multidisciplinary".[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.
The journal is abstracted and indexed in PubMed/MEDLINE.
Article types
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.
