Chemical Data Collections

Chemical Data Collections is an Elsevier journal that publishes experimental data in chemistry in enough detail for other laboratories to reuse it, launched in 2015 and indexed in the Emerging Sources Citation Index.《化学数据汇编》是 Elsevier 旗下以化学实验数据为内容的期刊，要求数据详尽到其他实验室可以直接复用，2015 年创刊，现收录于新兴来源引文索引（Emerging Sources Citation Index）。

Its 2025 Journal Impact Factor stands at 2.4, placing it in the third quartile of multidisciplinary chemistry, and the title sits in Clarivate's emerging sources list rather than the core science editions.2025 年期刊影响因子为 2.4，在化学综合类刊物中位列第三四分位，版别属于 Clarivate 的新兴来源引文索引，不在核心科学版之列。

Scope

• The journal's stated purpose is to make experimental results public and reusable, meeting a demand for shared materials and data that funders and reviewers have pressed on chemistry for more than a decade.办刊宗旨是把实验结果公开到可复用的程度，回应科研资助方与审稿人十余年来对化学材料与数据共享提出的要求。
• A data article is the journal's signature format, built around measurements rather than an argument, so the procedure, the instrument and the conditions receive as much space as any interpretation.数据论文是本刊的标志性体裁，围绕测量本身组织，而非围绕论点展开，实验步骤、所用仪器与测量条件获得的篇幅不亚于任何解释。
• Spectroscopy occupies the largest share, with proton and carbon NMR, two-dimensional experiments, infrared and Raman spectra, ultraviolet-visible curves and mass spectra all reported with peak assignments in the body text.光谱数据占比最大，氢谱与碳谱、二维实验，红外与拉曼光谱，以及紫外可见曲线和质谱都要求在正文给出峰归属。
• Crystallographic work runs from single-crystal diffraction with full refinement statistics to powder patterns indexed against known phases, and structures are deposited so that coordinates travel with the paper.晶体学工作既包括带完整精修统计的单晶衍射，也包括与已知物相指标化的粉末图谱，结构数据要求同步存入数据库，使坐标随论文一同流通。
• Thermal analysis and calorimetry form another strand, covering thermogravimetric curves, differential scanning calorimetry traces, phase transition temperatures and the enthalpies that accompany them, with heating rate and atmosphere stated for each run.热分析与量热构成另一条线索，热重曲线与差示扫描量热曲线、相变温度及相应的焓值都在收录之列，每一轮测量的升温速率与气氛都要注明。
• Thermophysical property tables for pure liquids and mixtures appear regularly, with density, viscosity, refractive index, speed of sound and derived excess volumes reported alongside the correlation used to fit them.纯液体与混合物的热物性数据表经常出现，密度、黏度与折射率等参数连同声速和超额体积一并给出，并附拟合所用的关联式。
• Materials characterization is accepted on the same footing, from scanning electron micrographs and energy dispersive spectra to surface areas, pore size distributions and optical band gaps derived from diffuse reflectance.材料表征同样在收稿范围内，从扫描电镜照片与能谱，到比表面积、孔径分布，再到由漫反射推导的光学带隙，都可以作为数据主体。
• Electrochemical and kinetic datasets have a place too, with cyclic voltammograms, rate constants, stability series and degradation profiles published when the raw measurements are complete enough to be re-fitted.电化学与动力学数据也有一席之地，循环伏安曲线、速率常数连同稳定性序列与降解曲线，在原始测量完整到可供重新拟合时都能发表。
• Computational datasets are treated as primary material, including optimised geometries, calculated NMR shifts and benchmark sets used to test density functional approximations against experimental values, provided the level of theory is stated.计算数据被当作一手材料，几何优化结构、计算得到的核磁位移以及用于检验密度泛函近似精度的基准集都收，前提是把理论水平写清楚。
• Natural products, medicinal chemistry and organic synthesis contribute characterisation packages, where a new compound is documented through elemental analysis, high resolution mass and the full set of nuclear magnetic resonance experiments.天然产物、药物化学与有机合成贡献的是表征数据包，一个新化合物要靠元素分析、高分辨质谱与全套核磁实验共同说明。
• Analytical and environmental measurements are welcome when they carry their calibration, with detection limits, recovery figures and sampling protocols given so that another group could repeat the run.分析与环境方向的测量同样接收，校准信息须随文给出，检出限、回收率与采样方案都要写明，使其他课题组能够复现整轮测定。
• Results that fail to support a hypothesis are not excluded, and the aims page presents that openness as the point of the journal rather than a concession to authors with unlucky experiments.未能支持假设的结果不被排除，宗旨页把这种开放当作刊物的立身之处，而非对运气不佳的作者的照顾。
• Replication and re-measurement fit the same model, since a second determination of a disputed constant or a failed reproduction of a published procedure carries information that a conventional journal has no room for.重复实验与再测量也属于同一模式，对一个有争议常数的二次测定，或对已发表流程的复现失败，在常规期刊里都缺少安放之处。
• Layout is loose by design, and the guide for authors lets tables sit in the body for copying, so a reader can lift a screening matrix into a spreadsheet without retyping values.排版刻意宽松，作者指南允许把表格放在正文中供复制，读者可以把一张筛选矩阵直接搬进电子表格，不必逐个重录数值。
• Conventional research papers now share the pages with data papers, which has widened the subject base from routine characterisation towards synthesis methodology and applied materials work.常规研究论文如今与数据论文共处一册，选题基础由日常表征扩展到合成方法学与材料应用。

History

• The first volume is dated 2016, with the earliest articles registered in December 2015, when Elsevier set up a title dedicated to experimental data at a moment when chemistry still had few places to publish measurements without a narrative attached.第 1 卷标注 2016 年，最早的文章在 2015 年 12 月登记，Elsevier 以这份刊物专门承接化学实验数据，填补了测量结果无处发表、又不必附会长篇论述的空档。
• The launch coincided with the spread of funder data-sharing rules in Europe and North America, which pushed chemistry groups to deposit measurements that had no obvious home in print.创刊与欧美科研资助方数据共享规定的铺开大致同期，这些规定促使化学课题组把此前在印刷版刊物里无处安放的测量结果存缴出来。
• It arrived a year after Data in Brief, the company's first data-only journal, and the two titles together marked an attempt to treat datasets as publishable objects in their own right.它比公司旗下第一份纯数据刊物《数据简报》（Data in Brief）晚一年出现，两份刊物合起来代表一种尝试，把数据集本身当作可以发表的对象。
• No print edition was ever produced, so the title is registered under a single electronic ISSN, 2405-8300, and every issue reaches readers as a digital file rather than through a postal subscription.刊物从未出过印刷版，只以一个电子 ISSN 号 2405-8300 登记，每期都以数字文件送达读者，不经邮发订阅。
• Volume numbering has climbed steadily since, from the combined opening volumes to Volume 55 in 2025, six volumes a year across the decade.卷号此后稳步推进，从创刊时的合卷走到 2025 年的第 55 卷，十年间每年推进六卷。
• Articles are registered under the DOI prefix 10.1016, the shared Elsevier namespace, so a citation carries the publisher's address instead of a society prefix of its own.论文统一登记在 Elsevier 共用的 DOI 前缀 10.1016 之下，引用时带出的是出版方的地址，学会自有前缀的情形在这里不适用。
• Classification came through Clarivate's Emerging Sources Citation Index rather than Science Citation Index Expanded, and the 2025 Journal Citation Reports still list the title in that emerging edition.收录走的是 Clarivate 的新兴来源引文索引，而非科学引文索引扩展版，2025 年的期刊引证报告仍把本刊列在这一新兴版别中。
• The Journal Impact Factor moved from 2.7 in the 2024 report to 2.4 in 2025, a small decline that kept the title in the third quartile of multidisciplinary chemistry.期刊影响因子从 2024 年的 2.7 变为 2025 年的 2.4，小幅回落之后仍留在化学综合类的第三四分位。
• Its rank in that category is 149th of 250 titles, with a Journal Citation Indicator of 0.43 and a citation percentile just above forty, numbers that place the journal near the middle of its field.在该类目 250 种刊物中排第 149 位，期刊引文指标为 0.43，引文百分位略高于 40，位置处于本领域的中段。
• Clarivate counted 2,262 citations to the title in the 2025 report, spread over 37 articles published that year, which gives a cited half-life of 4.5 years.2025 年的报告统计到 2262 次引用，当年发表论文 37 篇，被引半衰期为 4.5 年。
• Only 7.63 per cent of the content is gold open access, so the journal runs on the subscription model with an open access option that authors may buy into.金色开放获取内容只占 7.63%，刊物以订阅制为主，另设作者可选购的开放获取选项。
• Early volumes read as collections of short data papers, and the mix shifted as full research articles and short communications took a growing share of each volume.早期各卷多是短篇数据论文的合集，此后整篇研究论文与短通讯逐步进入各卷，稿件构成随之改变。
• The title sits in Clarivate's multidisciplinary chemistry category because its content spans organic, inorganic and physical chemistry and also covers analytical and materials work instead of one subfield.本刊被归入化学综合类，原因是内容横跨有机、无机与物理化学，也覆盖分析与材料方向，并不落在单一分支。

Editors

• Elsevier's editorial office routes each submission to an editor who works in its subject area, so a crystallography dataset and a thermophysical table are not judged by the same reader.Elsevier 的编辑办公室按主题分派稿件，晶体学数据集与热物性数据表不会落到同一位处理编辑手上。
• The test applied at that first reading is whether the measurements are complete enough for another group to reuse them, which is a different question from whether the results are novel.初审要回答的是测量是否完整到别的课题组能直接复用，这与结果是否新颖是两个不同的问题。
• Reviewers are asked to check internal consistency, with mass balance, integration of nuclear magnetic resonance signals and the agreement between stated and refined crystal data among the usual trouble spots.审稿人被要求核查数据的内部一致性，质量平衡、核磁信号的积分，以及晶体学指标与精修结果是否吻合，都是常见的问题点。
• Because a data paper has no hypothesis to defend, the argument in a report tends to turn on missing instrument settings and on spectra that were never assigned peak by peak.数据论文没有需要辩护的假设，审稿意见往往落在缺失的仪器设置上，也落在没有逐峰归属的谱图上。
• Authors must say where the underlying data live, and deposition in a recognised repository is preferred to a promise that files will be sent on request.作者须说明原始数据存放在哪里，把数据存入公认的仓储优先于「函索即寄」式的承诺。
• Ethics follows the Committee on Publication Ethics, and the journal expects competing interests, funding and author contributions to be declared at submission rather than added after acceptance.伦理规范遵循出版伦理委员会（Committee on Publication Ethics）的准则，利益冲突、经费来源与作者贡献须在投稿时声明，不能等到录用后再补。
• Papers chosen for open access are published under a Creative Commons licence, either attribution or attribution non-commercial no-derivatives, and the choice is made by the author at acceptance.选择开放获取的论文以知识共享协议发布，可选署名或署名非商业性使用禁演绎两种，由作者在录用环节决定。
• Submissions arrive through Elsevier's online editorial system as a single file, and the journal asks that figures and tables be placed inside the text rather than gathered at the end.稿件经 Elsevier 的在线编辑系统以单个文件递交，刊物要求图与表嵌在正文相应位置，不要集中放在文末。
• Appeals against a decision go to the handling editor first and then to the editor-in-chief, and a correction notice is issued when an error survives into the published record.对编辑决定有异议时先向处理编辑申诉，再提交主编，已发表记录中若仍有错误则以更正声明处理。
• A submission that falls outside the data remit is offered transfer to another Elsevier chemistry title instead of being rejected outright, which keeps the manuscript inside the publishing system.超出数据类范围的稿件会被建议转投 Elsevier 旗下的其他化学刊物，而非直接退稿，稿件因此留在同一出版体系内。
