Green Analytical Chemistry

Green Analytical Chemistry is a gold open-access Elsevier journal launched in 2021 that publishes fundamental and practical work on analytical methods designed to reduce solvent use, waste and energy consumption, with a 2025 Journal Impact Factor of 7.6 and a first-quartile rank of 10 of 110 in analytical chemistry《绿色分析化学》（Green Analytical Chemistry）是（Elsevier）2021 年创办的黄金开放获取期刊，发表以减少溶剂使用、废物产生与能耗为目标的分析方法基础与应用研究，2025 年影响因子为 7.6，在分析化学类 110 种期刊中列第 10 位，居第一四分位。

Scope

• Fundamental developments that enable greener analytical methods are the journal's first concern, including new reagents, solvents and reaction media支撑更绿色分析方法的基础研究是该刊的首要关注，包括新型试剂、溶剂与反应介质。
• Chemical and biochemical sensors are covered, with an emphasis on device reuse as a route to reducing waste化学与生物化学传感器属于收稿范围，并强调通过器件重复使用减少废物。
• Alternative solvents that replace hazardous compounds, and solventless or assisted extraction techniques, are central topics替代危险化合物的绿色溶剂，以及无溶剂或辅助萃取技术，是核心选题。
• Miniaturisation is treated as a design principle, since it sharply cuts reagent consumption and the volume of waste generated per measurement小型化被视为一项设计原则，因为它能大幅降低每次测量所消耗的试剂与产生的废物量。
• On-site instrumentation and sampling protocols are within scope, including portable analysers, flow cells and in vivo measurement approaches现场仪器与采样规范属于收稿范围，包括便携式分析仪、流通池与在体测量方法。
• Greenness assessment is expected to be transparent, using criteria such as reagent toxicity, waste production, energy use and operator safety, often through tools such as the AGREE and RGB metrics绿色度评估要求透明，依据试剂毒性、废物产生、能耗与操作者安全等标准，常用（AGREE）与（RGB）等工具。

History

• The journal was launched in 2021 as a new open-access title, with its first volume appearing in the same year and a remit deliberately narrower than that of general analytical chemistry journals该刊 2021 年作为新的开放获取期刊创办，首卷于同年出版，其范围刻意窄于综合性分析化学期刊。
• It was created to give green analytical methods a dedicated outlet, since such work was seen as under-represented in established analytical periodicals创办该刊的动因是为此类研究提供专门园地，因为绿色分析方法在既有分析化学期刊中所占比例偏低。
• It charges a fixed article processing charge, with waivers and discounts available under the publisher Research4Life programme for authors in eligible countries该刊按固定标准收取文章处理费，符合条件的国家作者可通过出版方的（Research4Life）计划获得减免。
• The Journal Impact Factor was 6.2 in 2024, the first year of measurement, and rose to 7.6 in 2025该刊 2024 年首次获得影响因子，为 6.2，2025 年升至 7.6。
• It is indexed in ESCI, Scopus, DOAJ and PubMed Central, and it publishes research articles, reviews, short communications, letters, perspectives and protocols该刊被（ESCI）、（Scopus）、（DOAJ）与（PubMed Central）收录，发表研究论文、综述、短通讯、快报、观点与实验方案。

Editors

• The editor-in-chief is Janusz Pawliszyn, professor of chemistry at the University of Waterloo and the originator of solid-phase microextraction主编为（University of Waterloo）化学教授（Janusz Pawliszyn），他是固相微萃取技术的提出者。
