Journal of the Iranian Chemical Society publishes work in every branch of chemistry, taking in analytical, inorganic, organic and physical chemistry together with chemical biology.《Journal of the Iranian Chemical Society》收化学各分支的工作，分析、无机、有机、物理四个方向，连同化学生物学一并收。
The journal asks for experimental, theoretical or applied work, and a paper may sit in more than one of those boxes. A density functional study of a new salt belongs here as much as a synthesis does.它要的是实验、理论或应用的工作，一篇稿子可以同时落在两三个格子里。一项新盐的密度泛函研究，与一次合成一样都能投。
Three formats carry the content: original papers, short communications for results that do not need the full apparatus of a paper, and review articles on areas of current chemical or biological importance.承载内容的有三种体裁。原始论文是正体，短通讯留给出结果而不必铺开整套阵仗的稿子，综述写当前有化学或生物学意义的领域。
Organic synthesis is a steady stream, with catalysis, multicomponent reactions and heterocycle construction appearing in most issues.有机合成是一股稳定的水流，催化、多组分反应与杂环构建在多数期里都能见到。
Analytical work runs from electroanalysis and sensing to separation science and the chemometrics that goes with a large data set.分析方向从电分析、传感一路到分离科学，再到与大批数据配套的化学计量学。
Computational papers have grown more common as the software has become cheaper than the glassware. Vibrational assignments, nonlinear optical responses and reaction paths are calculated as a matter of course.随着软件比玻璃器皿便宜，计算类稿子越来越常见。振动归属、非线性光学响应与反应路径，如今算一算是常规做法。
Materials and surfaces supply another block. Adsorption onto a solid from solution is studied as a problem in isotherms, kinetics and fixed beds as often as it is studied as pure chemistry.材料与界面另立一块。溶液里的固相吸附，一半按等温线、动力学与固定床来研究，一半当纯化学来研究。
Nanomedicine appears on the biological side, in drug delivery systems built on oxide particles, albumin coatings and the like, usually with an antibacterial or a cytotoxicity assay attached.纳米医学出现在生物这一侧，多是用氧化物颗粒、白蛋白包覆之类搭起来的给药体系，通常附一项抗菌或细胞毒试验。
Physical chemistry supplies the thermodynamic and kinetic spine, and papers on equilibrium, phase behaviour and solution properties are regular.物理化学提供热力学与动力学的脊梁，讲平衡、相行为与溶液性质的稿子定期出现。
Chemical biology and the biological end of the journal are handled with the same instrumentation as the rest, so a binding study and a sensor paper may share a method.化学生物学以及全刊偏生物的那一端，用的仪器与其余部分相同，于是一项结合研究可能与一篇传感器论文共用一套方法。
Articles carry numbers rather than page ranges. The latest issues are cited as Article 368 or Article 367, which lets a volume run without continuous pagination.文章按编号排而不按页码排。最近几期引作 Article 368 或 Article 367，一卷因此不必连续编页。
Everything is published in English, and the journal's stated purpose is visibility for Iranian chemistry rather than a national record.全部内容以英文发表，刊方自陈的用意是让伊朗的化学工作被看见，而不在本国留一份记录。
The route to publication is Springer's submission system. The journal runs on a hybrid model, with open access as an option and no charge for a paper published the traditional way.投稿走 Springer 的系统。这份刊行混合模式，开放获取只是一个选项，按传统方式发表的稿子不收费。
History
Volume 1 appeared in 2004, and volume 23 carries 2026, so the run is twenty-three volumes long.第 1 卷出在 2004 年，第 23 卷对应 2026 年，前后二十三卷。
It is published for the Iranian Chemical Society by Springer, which supplies the platform, the submission system and the distribution.它由 Springer 替伊朗化学会出版，平台、投稿系统与发行都由后者提供。
Twelve issues a year were the pattern up to volume 21. Volume 22 of 2025 cut back to ten, with numbers 10 to 12 combined into a single issue.一年十二期一直延续到第 21 卷。2025 年的第 22 卷减到十期，第 10 至 12 期合并成一本。
Volume 23 has eleven numbers and 368 papers dated 2026 so far, against 219 in volume 21, so the yearly count has risen by more than half in two volumes.第 23 卷目前有十一期，署 2026 年的论文已到 368 篇，而第 21 卷是 219 篇，两卷之间年产量涨了一半还多。
The Crossref deposit holds 4,272 records, which covers the whole run from the first volume.Crossref 的存缴有 4,272 条记录，从第 1 卷起的全部卷期都在里面。
The impact factor moved from 2.019 in 2021 to 2.271 in 2022, held at 2.2 in 2023, reached 2.3 in 2024 and 2.4 in 2025.影响因子从 2021 年的 2.019 升到 2022 年的 2.271，2023 年守在 2.2，2024 年到 2.3，2025 年到 2.4。
The five-year figure of 2.1 sits below the two-year figure, the shape a journal takes when its recent papers are attracting more attention than the older ones.五年影响因子 2.1 低于两年值，一份刊近期论文比旧论文更受注意时，就是这个形状。
Total citations are 4,907 and the cited half-life is 5.2 years, shorter than a methods journal's but ordinary for a general chemistry title.总被引 4,907 次，引用半衰期 5.2 年，比方法类刊短，对一份综合性化学刊来说属平常。
The Journal Citation Indicator is 0.34 and the title sits in Q3 of Multidisciplinary Chemistry at 149 of 250, with a percentile of 40.6.期刊引文指标 0.34，在化学综合门类里列 Q3，250 种刊中排第 149 位，百分位 40.6。
Gold open access is 3.65 per cent of the content, so the subscription route carries the journal and the open access option is used sparingly.金色开放获取占全部内容的百分之三点六五，订阅这条路撑起全刊，开放获取的选项用得节省。
The median time from submission to a first decision is 63 days, and the journal counted 267,300 downloads in 2025.从投稿到第一次决定的中间时间是 63 天，2025 年全刊下载量计 26.73 万次。
There is no record for the title in the National Library of Medicine catalogue, so it is absent from MEDLINE and from PubMed. A search there for Iranian chemistry in this journal will return nothing.这个刊名在美国国家医学图书馆的编目里查不到，因此不在 MEDLINE 与 PubMed 上。想在那里搜这份刊上的伊朗化学工作，会一无所获。
Editors
Ali Asghar Ensafi of the Isfahan University of Technology is editor-in-chief, and his address at the university is printed on the journal page beside his name.主编 Ali Asghar Ensafi 在伊斯法罕理工大学，刊页上他的姓名旁边就印着校内的邮箱。
Mojtaba Shamsipur of Razi University in Kermanshah is the second editor-in-chief. The journal page spells his first name Motjaba, and that spelling is the one on the page.第二位主编是克尔曼沙赫拉齐大学的 Mojtaba Shamsipur。刊页把他的名字拼作 Motjaba，页上就是这个拼法。
Ali Akbar Saboury of the University of Tehran is managing editor, and the day to day handling of manuscripts goes through his office rather than through the two editors-in-chief.德黑兰大学的 Ali Akbar Saboury 任执行编辑，稿件的日常处理经他这一处，不经两位主编。
The editorial board is nineteen strong and every member sits at an Iranian university, from Zanjan and Kermanshah to Rasht, Mashhad, Shiraz, Sanandaj, Hamadan and Arak.编委会十九人，全部在伊朗国内的大学任职，从赞詹、克尔曼沙赫到拉什特、马什哈德、设拉子、萨南达季、哈马丹与阿拉克。
David Nabi Rahni of Pace University in New York is regional editor, and an author writing from outside Iran deals with him before the board sees the paper.区域编辑是纽约佩斯大学的 David Nabi Rahni，伊朗以外投稿的作者先与他对接，稿子才到编委会手上。
An advisory board sits above the editors and gives the journal its international cover. Jean-Marie Lehn of Strasbourg, a Nobel laureate in chemistry, is on it.编辑之上还有一层顾问委员会，为这份刊撑起国际门面。斯特拉斯堡的 Jean-Marie Lehn 在列，他是诺贝尔化学奖得主。
C. N. R. Rao of the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre in Bengaluru and Atta-ur-Rahman of the University of Karachi sit on the same advisory board, which brings two of the most cited chemists in South Asia behind an Iranian title.班加罗尔贾瓦哈拉尔·尼赫鲁中心的 C. N. R. Rao 与卡拉奇大学的 Atta-ur-Rahman 同在这张顾问名单上，南亚被引最多的化学家里有两位，替一本伊朗的刊撑腰。
Alan Cooper of Glasgow, Leiv K. Sydnes of Bergen and Goverdhan Mehta of Hyderabad fill out that board, so the coverage runs across Europe and South Asia.格拉斯哥的 Alan Cooper、卑尔根的 Leiv K. Sydnes 与海得拉巴的 Goverdhan Mehta 补上名单余下的位置，覆盖面横跨欧洲与南亚。
The board's spread inside Iran is deliberate. Zanjan and Kermanshah are represented beside Tehran, which keeps the journal from becoming an organ of one institution.编委会在伊朗国内的分布是有意为之。赞詹与克尔曼沙赫同德黑兰并列，这份刊因此不至于沦为某一家的机关刊物。
Editors are listed with their emails on the public page, and the journal invites correspondence about a proposal before a manuscript is written.编辑的邮箱在公开页上列着，刊方希望作者在动笔之前先就选题通信。
The board is large for a journal that handles a few hundred papers a year, which is what a review process run by working chemists rather than by professional editors requires.对一份一年处理几百篇稿子的刊来说，这个编委会偏大，而由在一线做化学的人而非专职编辑来主持审稿，也就需要这么大。
