History

• The Korea Basic Science Institute (KBSI), a government-funded research institute in Daejeon, launched the journal in 2010, and the first volume carried a March issue and a September issue.韩国基础科学研究院是设在大田的政府资助研究机构，2010 年创办该刊，首卷在同年出了 3 月与 9 月两期。

• Those first volumes went out under a Daejeon imprint that named KBSI together with GRAST, the graduate school of analytical science and technology at Chungnam National University.最初几卷以大田为出版地，出版方一栏并列 KBSI 与 GRAST，后者指忠南大学的分析科学技术研究生院。

• A supplement accompanied volume 2 in 2011, and two issues a year remained the pattern through volume 3 in 2012.2011 年第 2 卷附出一册增刊，一年两期的格局一直延续到 2012 年第 3 卷。

• Volume 4 in 2013 marks the transfer to SpringerOpen, when the imprint moved to Heidelberg, the DOI prefix changed to 10.1186 and one issue per volume became the norm.2013 年第 4 卷标志着转入 SpringerOpen，出版地迁至海德堡，DOI 前缀改为 10.1186，每卷一期的做法由此定型。

• Continuous article publication came with that arrangement, so papers are numbered in sequence and assigned to the current volume as they are accepted.连续文章出版随这一安排落地，论文按接收顺序编号，接收后即编入当年正在出版的卷。

• Volume numbering has never restarted, and 2019 saw volume 10 close and volume 11 open inside the same calendar year.卷号从未重新起算，2019 年内第 10 卷收尾，第 11 卷随即开卷。

• Since 2021 the cadence has settled at one volume a year, from volume 12 in 2021 to volume 17 in 2026.2021 年起节奏稳定为一年一卷，第 12 卷对应 2021 年，第 17 卷落在 2026 年。

• Open access has been the publishing model since the SpringerOpen move, and the article processing charge stands at £1,790, $2,390 or €2,090.自转入 SpringerOpen 起，开放获取就是该刊的出版模式，目前每篇收取 1790 英镑，2390 美元或 2090 欧元的文章处理费。

• Authors who cannot obtain a waiver may ask KBSI to cover the charge after acceptance, a route that lowers the cost barrier for authors without grant support.无法获得减免的作者可在论文接收后向 KBSI 申请承担费用，这条通道降低了没有项目经费者的费用门槛。

• The abstracting list now spans Science Citation Index Expanded, Scopus, Chemical Abstracts Service, Current Contents and DOAJ, while PubMed records selected citations only.收录清单如今包括 Science Citation Index Expanded，Scopus，Chemical Abstracts Service，Current Contents 与 DOAJ，PubMed 只记录部分引用。

• The 2025 Journal Impact Factor is 2.4, down from 3.568 in 2022, with a five-year value of 2.9 and a JCR place of 71 among 110 analytical chemistry titles.2025 年期刊影响因子为 2.4，低于 2022 年的 3.568，五年影响因子为 2.9，在 110 份分析化学期刊中列第 71 位。

• The same snapshot counts 1,331 citations, 46 articles and a cited half-life of 5.3 years, and the publisher reports 497,200 downloads during 2025.同一份快照记录总被引 1331 次，载文 46 篇，被引半衰期 5.3 年，出版方公布的 2025 年下载量为 49.72 万次。

• All articles in the SpringerOpen archive are free to read, and volume 17 has already passed article number 50.SpringerOpen 存档中的论文全部免费阅读，第 17 卷的文章编号已超过 50。
