Chemical Science

Aims & Scope

Chemical Science is a multi-disciplinary journal publishing findings from across the breadth of the chemical sciences.

Articles should present new findings of exceptional significance to their field, and also be of wider interest to readers working in other areas across the chemical sciences.

For work to be published, it should provide a significant, conceptually novel advance or insight into the development of its field, and be written to be accessible to scientists across the broad readership of the journal.

More specialised work is generally not suitable for publication in the journal.
