List of chemical journals

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The list of chemical journals contains a selection of journals with specialist articles from the field of chemical research or their abstracts; it is divided into

  • Current magazines (appearing regularly)
  • Previously published magazines (discontinued)

A complete overview of all chemistry journals ever published is available on the Royal Society of Chemistry website. Without marking, the impact factors for 2012 are shown, the impact factors for 2013 are marked with *, those for 2014 with **. Since newer trade journals (from 2010 onwards) only receive an impact factor after five years, they are marked with ***. These values ​​were determined accordingly after 2014.
