Nature Reviews Chemistry is an online-only journal for the weekly publication of Reviews, Perspectives and Comments in all disciplines within chemistry. Our Reviews aim to be balanced and objective analyses of the selected topic – with descriptions of relevant scientific literature and discussions that are easy to grasp for recent graduates in any chemistry-related discipline, as well as informing principal investigators and industry-based research scientists of the latest advances. Reviews should provide the authors' insight into future directions and their opinion of the major challenges faced by researchers in the field. Perspectives – as the name suggests – take a look at a topic from a slightly different angle. They may offer more personal viewpoints, explain the historical background to a topic, or discuss some of the social, ethical or environmental factors related to chemistry research in academia and industry. Our Comments address topical issues in chemistry — the aim is to cover subjects that are of interest to chemists generally that are not necessarily focussed on the results or practice of chemistry research. This may include, but is not limited to, discussions of education in chemistry and the practicalities of research outside the academic environment. Reviews, Perspectives and Comments are commissioned by the editorial team.

ACS Central Science publishes the most compelling, important primary reports on research in chemistry and in allied fields, wherein chemical approaches play a key role. It is also the first fully open access journal published by the American Chemical Society.

ACS Omega is an open-access global publication for scientific articles that describe new findings in chemistry and interfacing areas of science, without any perceived evaluation of immediate impact.

The Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry is the foremost international journal devoted to the interdisciplinary subject of electrochemistry in all its aspects, theoretical as well as applied. Electrochemistry is a wide ranging area that is in a state of continuous evolution. Rather than compiling a long list of topics covered by the Journal, the editors would like to draw particular attention to the key issues of novelty, topicality and quality. Papers should present new and interesting electrochemical science in a way that is accessible to the reader. The presentation and discussion should be at a level that is consistent with the international status of the Journal. Reports describing the application of well-established techniques to problems that are essentially technical will not be accepted. Similarly, papers that report observations but fail to provide adequate interpretation will be rejected by the Editors. Papers dealing with technical electrochemistry should be submitted to other specialist journals unless the authors can show that their work provides substantially new insights into electrochemical processes.

International Journal of Chemical Engineering publishes papers on technologies for the production, processing, transportation, and use of chemicals on a large scale. Studies typically relate to processes within chemical and energy industries, especially for production of food, pharmaceuticals, fuels, and chemical feedstocks. Topics of investigation cover plant design and operation, process design and analysis, control and reaction engineering, as well as hazard mitigation and safety measures. As well as original research, International Journal of Chemical Engineering also publishes focused review articles that examine the state of the art, identify emerging trends, and suggest future directions for developing fields.

Polymer-Plastics Technology and Materials provides a forum for the publication of peer-reviewed, English language articles and select reviews on all aspects of polymer-plastics technology and polymeric materials that are industry, semi-commercial, and/or research-oriented. The journal will consider articles on the following general areas: -Polymeric Materials- Polymer Technology and Applications- Bio-related Polymers/Bio-derived Materials- Specialty Polymers- Applied Polymer Science. The journal will consider original research articles, reviews, and book reviews. Proposals for special issues in all the above areas are welcome and should be discussed with the Editor-in-Chief in the first instance.

International Journal of Polymeric Materials and Polymeric Biomaterials is the official publication of the International Society for Biomedical Polymers and Polymeric Biomaterials (ISBPPB). This journal provides a forum for the publication of peer-reviewed, English language articles and select reviews on all aspects of polymeric materials and biomedical polymers. Being interdisciplinary in nature, this journal publishes extensive contributions in the areas of encapsulation and controlled release technologies to address innovation needs as well.

Chemical Papers is a peer-reviewed, international journal devoted to basic and applied chemical research. It has a broad scope covering the chemical sciences, but favors interdisciplinary research and studies that bring chemistry together with other disciplines.
