Accounts of Chemical Research

《化学研究评述》(Accounts of Chemical Research)是由美国化学会出版的同行评审科学期刊。Accounts of Chemical Research is a peer-reviewed scientific journal published by the American Chemical Society.

该期刊主要刊载化学及相关交叉学科前沿研究成果的简明概括与批判性综述。The journal primarily publishes concise overviews and critical reviews of cutting-edge research across chemistry and related interdisciplinary fields.

Scope

该期刊重点发表对基础化学及跨学科应用领域近期研究进展的高水平综述。The journal focuses on high-level reviews covering recent research developments in fundamental chemistry and interdisciplinary applications.

与传统长篇综述不同,其论文通常对某一特定主题进行精炼评述,且大多侧重于作者自身实验室的研究贡献与学术见解。Unlike traditional comprehensive reviews, articles typically provide a succinct commentary on a specific topic, often highlighting contributions and insights from the authors' own laboratories.

涵盖领域包括有机化学、无机化学、物理化学、生物化学、材料科学以及纳米技术等多个分支。Its scope encompasses diverse branches, including organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, biological chemistry, materials science, and nanotechnology.

期刊亦经常策划专题专刊,集中探讨如能源转化、人工光合作用及生物物理机制等新兴热点方向。The journal also frequently curates special thematic issues dedicated to emerging hotspots, such as energy conversion, artificial photosynthesis, and biophysical mechanisms.

History

《化学研究评述》创刊于1968年,旨在为化学工作者提供短小精悍且易于通读的科研前沿动态。Accounts of Chemical Research was established in 1968 to provide chemists with concise, readable accounts of progress on research frontiers.

创刊初期,该刊迅速确立了作为化学领域最具影响力的综述类期刊之一的声誉。In its early decades, the journal quickly built a reputation as one of the most influential review publications in chemistry.

自创刊以来,大量诺贝尔化学奖得主及国际顶尖科学家均在该刊发表过系统阐述其开创性工作的评述论文。Since its inception, numerous Nobel laureates and leading global scientists have contributed account articles outlining their groundbreaking discoveries.

随着跨学科研究的兴起,该期刊的内容逐渐由传统分支拓展至分子生物学、计算化学及先进功能材料等前沿交叉领域。With the rise of interdisciplinary research, its coverage steadily expanded from traditional subdisciplines into molecular biology, computational chemistry, and advanced functional materials.

Editors

创刊主编为美国著名物理有机化学家约瑟夫·F·邦内特(Joseph F. Bunnett),他负责确立了期刊早期的编辑方针与学术标准。The founding Editor-in-Chief was the prominent American physical organic chemist Joseph F. Bunnett, who established the journal's early editorial policies and standards.

弗雷德·W·麦克拉弗蒂(Fred W. McLafferty)随后接任主编,进一步巩固了该刊在现代质谱学及跨学科化学评述方面的国际声誉。Fred W. McLafferty subsequently served as Editor-in-Chief, strengthening the journal's standing in modern mass spectrometry and interdisciplinary chemical commentary.

2014年,物理化学家辛西娅·J·伯罗斯(Cynthia J. Burrows)出任主编,推动期刊大幅拓展了化学生物学、DNA化学损伤与修复以及表观遗传学等领域的论文收录。In 2014, physical organic chemist Cynthia J. Burrows assumed the role of Editor-in-Chief, expanding coverage significantly in chemical biology, DNA damage and repair, and epigenetics.
