Chemistry Journals · Library
Chemistry journals constitute the principal scholarly-publishing infrastructure for chemical-sciences research, with the Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS, founded 1879, ACS Publications) and Angewandte Chemie (founded 1888, Wiley-VCH) as the dominant high-impact venues for general-chemistry research, plus the substantial sub-disciplinary journal portfolio covering organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, analytical chemistry, biochemistry, and the increasingly substantial materials-chemistry-and-energy specialty. The chemistry-journals ecosystem is dominated commercially by the American Chemical Society (ACS — the world's largest scientific society with 150,000+ members and the ACS Publications portfolio of ~80 journals), the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC — UK-based, with the RSC Publishing portfolio of ~50 journals including Chemical Society Reviews and Chemical Science), Wiley's chemistry portfolio (Angewandte Chemie, Chemistry – A European Journal, ChemPubSoc Europe consortium), Elsevier's chemistry portfolio (Tetrahedron, Tetrahedron Letters, Polymer, the broader 100+ Elsevier chemistry journals), and Springer-Nature's chemistry portfolio (Nature Chemistry founded 2009, the broader Nature Research chemistry coverage).\n\nThe high-impact-factor chemistry journals operate with substantial editorial gatekeeping and 6-9 month average review-and-publication cycles. JACS impact factor runs ~16; Angewandte Chemie ~16; Nature Chemistry ~21; Chemical Reviews (the leading review-journal in chemistry) ~52; Chemical Society Reviews ~46; Chemical Science ~9; ACS Catalysis ~13; Journal of the American Chemical Society Au (open-access companion launched 2021) ~9. The 2018-onward Plan S open-access mandate and the Coalition S coalition of major research funders (cOAlition S, including UK Research and Innovation, the European Research Council, the Wellcome Trust, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation) has driven substantial restructuring of chemistry-journal economics with read-and-publish agreements between major university libraries and ACS, RSC, Wiley, Elsevier, Springer-Nature.\n\nIndia's chemistry-publishing infrastructure includes the Indian-society-published journals — Journal of Chemical Sciences (Indian Academy of Sciences Bengaluru), Indian Journal of Chemistry (CSIR-NIScPR), Resonance (the Indian Academy of Sciences journal for general-science education), Current Science (the Indian Academy of Sciences flagship), the broader Indian National Science Academy publishing program. The substantial Indian-origin chemistry-research output through CSIR Network of Laboratories (CSIR-NCL Pune, CSIR-IICT Hyderabad, CSIR-CDRI Lucknow, CSIR-CSMCRI Bhavnagar, CSIR-NEERI Nagpur), the IIT chemistry departments, the IISc Department of Inorganic and Physical Chemistry plus Department of Organic Chemistry, the IISER Pune-Mohali-Bhopal-Kolkata-Thiruvananthapuram-Berhampur chemistry programs, the TIFR Department of Chemical Sciences. The Indian National Science Academy (INSA), the Indian Academy of Sciences (IAS Bengaluru), the National Academy of Sciences India (NASI Allahabad) provide professional-society infrastructure.\n\nFor a globally-mobile chemistry researcher, the journals-and-publication portfolio operates uniformly across jurisdictions. Open-access publishing has substantially expanded — ACS's gold-open-access journals (JACS Au, ACS Au companion family) plus the broader open-access expansion across major chemistry journals reduces friction for cross-jurisdictional research-output sharing. The post-2020 expansion of preprint-publishing in chemistry (via ChemRxiv, the chemistry preprint server founded 2017 jointly by ACS, RSC, GDCh, and CCS) provides the structural pre-publication-share-and-feedback infrastructure that physics has had through arXiv since 1991.\n\nCross-references: chemistry journals intersect with academy-natural-sciences, paper-root-bio (the chemistry-biology overlap), paper-root-physics (the chemistry-physics overlap), journal-root-archives (preprint-server overlap), and the broader scientific-publishing ecosystem.
