ChemComm
The journal for urgent communications of outstanding significance from across the chemical sciences.
Open Access: Hybrid
Scope
ChemComm publishes urgent, new research of outstanding significance and interest to experts in the field, while also appealing to the journal’s broad chemistry readership. ChemComm is part of the RSC’s family of high impact general chemistry journals, alongside Chemical Science and Chemical Society Reviews.
Our 4-page Communication articles are easy to read and digest, allowing readers to quickly and easily understand the main points of your research. Communications can report a stand-alone piece of research, or exciting results at an early stage of an investigation. They do not need to be full or extensive studies. We also publish two types of review articles: Feature Articles and Highlights.
Our scope covers all topics in chemistry, and research at the interface of chemistry and other disciplines (such as materials science, nanoscience, physics, engineering and biology) where there is a significant novelty in the chemistry aspects.
- analytical chemistry
- catalysis
- chemical biology and medicinal chemistry
- computational chemistry and machine learning
- energy and sustainable chemistry
- environmental chemistry
- green chemistry
- inorganic chemistry
- materials chemistry
- nanoscience
- organic chemistry
- physical chemistry
- polymer chemistry
- supramolecular chemistry
Readership
ChemComm is for academic and industrial chemists in all areas of the chemical sciences.
