Comptes Rendus Chimie

Comptes Rendus Chimie is an electronic journal in chemistry, evaluated by peer review and published in Paris by the Académie des sciences, a house that took the title on its own account in 2020 and has edited it jointly with the CNRS since 1 January 2026《Comptes Rendus 化学》是巴黎法国科学院出版的化学电子期刊，采用同行评议，科学院自 2020 年起自行承接该刊，并自 2026 年 1 月 1 日起与 CNRS 共同编辑。

It belongs to the seven journals edited by the Academy and continues the line of the Comptes rendus hebdomadaires des séances de l'Académie des sciences founded in 1835 by François Arago, and its impact factor for 2025 stands at 1.3 in the chemistry, multidisciplinary category它属于科学院所办的七种期刊之列，承续 1835 年由 François Arago 创办的《科学院每周会议报告》的脉络，其 2025 年影响因子在化学多学科类目为 1.3。

The journal covers the whole of chemistry, publishes in English and in French, and charges neither side, the full text of every article being free to read from the day it appears该刊覆盖化学的全部领域，以英文与法文发表，读者与作者都不付费，每篇文章的全文上线即可免费阅读。

Scope

• The stated remit is the whole of chemistry, with organic, inorganic, bio-organic, bio-inorganic, organometallic, macromolecular, physical and solid-state chemistry among the branches named in the description自述的选题范围是化学的全部领域，其中点名的分支包括有机化学、无机化学、生物有机化学、生物无机化学、有机金属化学、高分子化学、物理化学与固态化学。

• Original research articles are the staple of what is published, the stated purpose of the title being to let researchers make their work known quickly to the international scientific community原创研究论文构成刊物的基本内容，该刊自述的目的是让研究者把自己的工作迅速传达给国际科学共同体。

• Review articles are published alongside them, and historical perspective pieces set a body of results back into the circumstances in which it was obtained综述文章与原创论文并行刊出，历史回顾文章则把一批研究结果放回其产生时的处境之中。

• Texts written with a pedagogical aim form a third category, meant for readers who want an accessible entrance to a specialised subject以教学为目的的文章构成第三类，面向希望便捷进入某一专门课题的读者。

• Conference proceedings are published as well, so that the record of a meeting reaches an audience wider than the room in which it was read会议文集同样会出版，一场会议的记录因此得以抵达比会场更广的读者群。

• Papers reflecting the chemical activity of the Academy itself are admitted to the same pages, which ties the journal closely to the work of the institution that publishes it反映科学院自身化学工作的文章也进入同一批页面，刊物由此与出版它的机构的研究工作紧密相连。

• Manuscripts carry no length limit and the layout is left as flexible as need be, figures and associated data being accommodated next to the text稿件不设篇幅上限，版式也按需要保持灵活，图片与相关数据可与正文并排安放。

• Articles are published in English or in French, and a standing page on the platform sets out the multilingual practice of the Comptes Rendus family文章以英文或法文发表，平台另设专页介绍 Comptes Rendus 系列的多种语言实践。

• Organic chemistry takes a large share of the papers, with reaction mechanisms, synthetic routes and the behaviour of carbon compounds recurring through the volumes有机化学占论文的很大比重，反应机理、合成路线以及碳化合物的行为在各卷中反复出现。

• Inorganic and organometallic chemistry are treated in the same way, coordination compounds, solid phases and materials chemistry being handled as ordinary subjects of the journal无机化学与有机金属化学以同样方式得到处理，络合物、固态相与材料化学都被视为该刊寻常的选题。

• Bio-organic and bio-inorganic chemistry sit close to the life sciences, with enzymes, bioconjugation and the chemistry of metals in living systems all within reach生物有机化学与生物无机化学紧邻生命科学，酶、生物偶联以及生命体系内金属的化学都在可及范围之内。

• Macromolecular and physical chemistry are covered too, polymers, their characterisation, thermodynamics and kinetics forming part of the ordinary fare高分子化学与物理化学同样得到覆盖，聚合物及其表征、热力学与动力学都属于日常的内容。

• Solid-state chemistry completes the list, with work on crystalline phases, defects and transport in solids treated as part of the core business固态化学补上了这份清单的末位，关于晶相、缺陷与固体中输运的研究被视作核心业务的一部分。

History

• The lineage runs back to the Comptes rendus hebdomadaires des séances de l'Académie des sciences, founded in 1835 by François Arago, and the title counts as one of the seven journals the Academy edits today刊脉可上溯到 1835 年由 François Arago 创办的《科学院每周会议报告》，该刊如今是科学院所办七种期刊之一。

• The journal itself started in 2002 as volume five of its own sequence, the medical library recording the imprint of that first period as Paris, Académie des sciences and Editions scientifiques et médicales Elsevier该刊自身始于 2002 年，在其卷序中为第五卷，医学图书馆把最初一段的出版者记作巴黎，法国科学院与 Elsevier 科学医学出版社。

• Elsevier printed for the Academy in those years, and the platform still points readers to the 1998 to 2001 volumes of the earlier title Comptes Rendus de l'Académie des Sciences, Série IIc, Chimie那些年份由 Elsevier 代印，平台至今仍把读者引向该系列 1998 年至 2001 年的卷次（Comptes Rendus de l'Académie des Sciences - Série IIc - Chimie），即《科学院院报第二辑化学》卷。

• From 2021 the numbered issues of the annual volume gave way to grouped sections, and the archive lists one annual volume each year, from number five in 2002 to number twenty-nine in 2026自 2021 年起，年卷中的编号期次改为分组编排，档案每年只列一卷，从 2002 年的第五卷排到 2026 年的第二十九卷。

• In 2020 the Academy took the publication on its own account, and the journal has been distributed since that year by the Centre Mersenne for open scientific publishing2020 年，科学院自行承担出版，该刊自那年起由开放科学出版平台 Centre Mersenne 负责发行。

• The arrangement brought a virtuous diamond open access policy, with no publication charge for authors and immediate, permanent free reading for the readership这一安排带来的是一种良性的钻石开放获取政策，作者一方不收出版费，读者一方获得即时且永久的免费阅读。

• The technical side of the platform is handled by the Cellule MathDoc, whose name stands in the Crossref registration for the journal, and the site names the Academy and the CNRS as the publishers平台的技术事务由 Cellule MathDoc 负责，期刊在 Crossref 的登记信息中就写着这一名称，站点的页脚把科学院与 CNRS 列为出版方。

• From 1 January 2026 the two institutions carry the editorial and legal responsibility of the journal together, and every page of the site carries both of their marks自 2026 年 1 月 1 日起，两家机构共同承担该刊的编辑与法律责任，站点的每一页都并列呈现双方的标识。

• Inclusion in the Science Citation Index Expanded placed the title in the wider citation record, and its rank in the chemistry, multidisciplinary category is 190 among 250 titles, in the fourth quartile进入《科学引文索引扩展》之后，该刊进入更广的引证体系，其在化学多学科类目的排位是 250 种期刊中的第 190 位，属第四区。

• The impact factor has moved down over four successive years, from 3.117 in 2021 to 2.55 in 2022 and 1.2 in 2023, then to 0.6 in 2024, before recovering to 1.3 in the 2025 report影响因子连跌四年，从 2021 年的 3.117 降到 2022 年的 2.55 与 2023 年的 1.2，2024 年落到 0.6，2025 年的报告回升到 1.3。

• The 2025 register gives that figure a five-year value of 1.3, a journal citation indicator of 0.18, a percentile of 24.2, a share of 100 per cent of the output in gold open access, 3328 citations taken in all and 44 papers published during the year2025 年的记录给出该值的五年指标同为 1.3，期刊引文指标 0.18，百分位 24.2，产出百分之百属于金色开放获取，累计被引 3328 次，当年发表论文 44 篇。

• A half-life of 10.5 years says that the older papers are still being cited a decade on, and the national medical library lists the title with an abbreviation of C R Chim10.5 年的半衰期说明较早的论文十年之后仍在被引用，美国国立医学图书馆收录该刊，缩写记作 C R Chim。

• Before that, the platform points to the volumes of 1981 to 1983, 1984 to 1994 and 1995 to 1996 held by the national library, and to the 1997 to 1998 volumes of the series on mechanics, physics, chemistry and astronomy在此之前，平台指向国家图书馆收藏的 1981 年至 1983 年、1984 年至 1994 年与 1995 年至 1996 年各卷，也指向 1997 年至 1998 年的力学、物理、化学与天文学系列卷次。

Editors

• The editor-in-chief is Pierre Braunstein of the Institut de Chimie de Strasbourg at the Université de Strasbourg, whose own work ranges over organometallic and coordination chemistry主编是斯特拉斯堡大学化学研究所的（Pierre Braunstein），他本人的研究涉及有机金属化学与配位化学。

• Two associate editors handle the daily work, the first of them Azzedine Bousseksou of the Laboratoire de Chimie de Coordination at the CNRS in Toulouse, listed for coordination chemistry, molecular and inorganic chemistry, materials, spectroscopy, molecular electronics and molecular magnetism两位副主编分担日常编务，其中一位是图卢兹 CNRS 配位化学实验室的（Azzedine Bousseksou），登记的方向有配位化学、分子与无机化学、材料、光谱、分子电子与分子磁性。

• The scientific committee brings together members of the Academy and outside researchers of international standing, twenty-nine names at the last revision, of whom twenty-one belong to the Academy, and its composition is settled anew at the start of each calendar year科学委员会由科学院成员与外部的知名研究者组成，最近一次修订时共有二十九人，其中二十一人为科学院成员，名册在每个公历年之初重新商定。

• Those members are drawn from France and the United States, with Spain, Germany, Switzerland, Portugal and Denmark also represented, and one seat held by a researcher from the Saint-Gobain group这些成员来自法国与美国，西班牙、德国、瑞士、葡萄牙与丹麦同样在列，另有一席由圣戈班集团的研究者担任。

• The committee takes part in the evaluation of submitted manuscripts by contacting experts on the subject, by examining the articles themselves, or by settling the editorial future of a paper on the reports of the reviewers委员会参与已投稿件的评估，方式可以是联系该领域的专家、亲自审阅文章，或依据审稿人的报告决定一篇稿件的编辑去向。

• Two directors of the publication stand above the editorial team, Antoine Triller as perpetual secretary of the Academy for the division of chemical, biological and medical sciences, and Antoine Petit as president of the CNRS编辑团队之上设两位出版负责人，一位是主管化学、生物与医学科学及其应用学部事务的科学院常任秘书（Antoine Triller），另一位是 CNRS 主席（Antoine Petit）。

• Peer review is run on a strict and transparent basis and is single blind, the reviewers knowing who wrote the paper while the authors remain unaware of who reports on them同行评议以严格而透明的方式进行，采用单盲形式，审稿人知道稿件的作者身份，作者则不知道由谁评审自己的论文。

• Every manuscript is first read by the editor responsible for the submission, the editor-in-chief, a guest editor-in-chief or an associate editor, who checks whether it meets the general criteria. Once that step is passed the editor starts the review proper, assigns the experts, and the authors revise until an accepted manuscript is reached每篇稿件先由负责该次投稿的编辑审读，主编、客座主编或副主编皆可担任此职，核查稿件是否符合该刊的一般标准；首步通过之后，编辑启动正式评审并指派审稿人，作者依评审意见修改稿件，直至形成可接受的版本。

• The editorial teams then prepare the proofs of the version of record and put them online, under a DOI in the 10.5802/crchim series, once the signed publication agreement has arrived from the authors此后编辑团队制作定稿的校样，并在收到作者签署的出版协议后将其上线，每篇文章都在该刊专属的 DOI 系列之下。

• The figures for 2025 show 92 submissions received, 413 review reports requested and 139 reports delivered, with 58 manuscripts accepted, a mean interval of 205 days and a median of 170 days between submission and publication2025 年的数字是收到投稿 92 篇，发出评审报告请求 413 份，实际收到报告 139 份，录用稿件 58 篇，投稿至发表的平均间隔为 205 天，中位数为 170 天。

• No fee falls on the author, the text of every article and issue being released under a Creative Commons Attribution licence, the metadata being placed under a zero-licence, and the archive preserved by the CLOCKSS system作者一方不需付费，每篇文章与每期的正文都以知识共享署名许可发布，元信息置于零许可之下，档案则由 CLOCKSS 系统长期保存。

• Thematic issues are guest-edited, recent examples being one on dendrimers edited by Anne-Marie Caminade, one on polyolefins edited by Christophe Boisson and one on biocatalysis edited by Juliette Martin专刊由客座编辑主持，近年的例子有树枝状聚合物专题（Anne-Marie Caminade 编辑）、聚烯烃专题（Christophe Boisson 编辑）与生物催化专题（Juliette Martin 编辑）。^[1]

• The Academy and the CNRS subscribe without reserve to the research practices set out by the Committee on Publication Ethics, and the platform keeps a code of ethics, a page on the use of artificial intelligence and a space for published comments科学院与 CNRS 无保留地接受出版伦理委员会所倡导的研究规范，平台设有伦理与最佳实践守则、人工智能使用说明一页，并为已发表文章的评论留有位置。^[2]
