Microchemical Journal

Microchemical Journal is a peer-reviewed analytical chemistry journal published by Elsevier, founded in 1957 for microchemistry and now covering analytical chemistry in its widest sense, with a 2025 Journal Impact Factor of 5.2.《微化学杂志》（Microchemical Journal）由（Elsevier）出版，1957 年以微量化学为创刊方向，如今覆盖广义分析化学，2025 年影响因子 5.2。

Scope

• The journal covers all aspects and phases of analytical chemistry and chemical analysis, from fundamental studies to applied measurement.本刊覆盖分析化学与化学分析的全部方面与阶段，从基础研究到应用测量。
• It publishes work at the forefront of modern analytical chemistry, including innovations that push techniques to the lowest attainable limits of detection.刊物发表处于现代分析化学前沿的成果，包括把检测限推向极限的技术创新。
• Instrumentation and new developments are central, from miniaturised sensors to compact and portable spectrometers.仪器研制与新技术居核心位置，涵盖微型化传感器与紧凑便携式光谱仪。
• Novel methods and applications in environmental and clinical analysis are welcomed, provided they are more than incremental.环境与临床分析中的新方法与应用受到欢迎，前提是并非渐进式改良。
• Classical techniques such as spectrophotometry and titrimetry are considered when they show significant improvement over established practice.分光光度法与滴定法等经典技术，若能显著优于既有做法，亦在考虑之列。
• Established instrumental methods, including flame and graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry, gas chromatography and modified glassy or carbon electrode electrochemistry, are within scope.火焰与石墨炉原子吸收光谱、气相色谱以及改性玻璃或碳电极电化学等成熟仪器方法均在收录范围。
• Routine method development for pharmaceutical samples, minor chromatographic adjustments and work resting only on standard chemometrics are excluded, and fragmentation of a study is discouraged.药物样品的常规方法开发、色谱条件的细微调整以及仅依赖标准化学计量学的工作不予考虑，并反对把一个研究拆成多篇发表。

History

• Volume 1 appeared in 1957 under Academic Press, which issued the journal as a vehicle for applying microtechniques across the sciences.第 1 卷于 1957 年由学术出版社（Academic Press）出版，创刊定位是把微量技术应用于各门科学。
• The publisher's own history notes that the journal was established in the late 1950s for the then rapidly developing field of microchemistry.出版方自述的刊史称，本刊于 20 世纪 50 年代末为当时迅速发展的微量化学领域而设。
• As microchemistry gave way to analyses at microgram masses and microvolumes, the journal widened its remit to analytical chemistry as a whole.随着微量化学转向微克级质量与微升级体积乃至更低水平的分析，刊物把范围扩展到整个分析化学。
• It is now published by Elsevier, and the title has never been changed since 1957.本刊现由（Elsevier）出版，自 1957 年以来刊名从未更改。
• Publication is monthly, with 12 volumes issued in 2022 alone, numbered 172 to 183.刊物按月出版，仅 2022 年就出版 12 卷，卷号为第 172 至 183 卷。
• Long runs of special issues tied to conferences and topical selections, together with original reviews, form part of its publishing programme.长期出版与会议及专题选辑相关的特刊，并接收具有原创性的综述，构成本刊出版计划的一部分。
• The Journal Impact Factor moved from 4.821 in 2021 and 5.304 in 2022 to 5.1 in 2024 and 5.2 in 2025.影响因子从 2021 年的 4.821、2022 年的 5.304，变为 2024 年的 5.1 与 2025 年的 5.2。

Editors

• Miguel de la Guardia of the University of Valencia in Spain is editor-in-chief, working on analytical chemistry and atomic spectrometry.主编为西班牙巴伦西亚大学（University of Valencia）的 Miguel de la Guardia，研究方向为分析化学与原子光谱。
• Associate editors handle atomic spectrometry, electrochemistry, separation science, sensors and chemometrics.副编辑分别负责原子光谱、电化学、分离科学、传感器与化学计量学等方向。
• The associate board includes Fabiana Arduini of Rome Tor Vergata for electrochemical sensors, Xiandeng Hou of Sichuan University for atomic spectrometry and Gangfeng Ouyang of Sun Yat-sen University for sample preparation.副编辑包括罗马第二大学（University of Rome Tor Vergata）从事电化学传感器的 Fabiana Arduini、四川大学从事原子光谱的侯贤灯，以及中山大学从事样品前处理的欧阳钢锋。
• Elsevier board statistics list 36 editors and board members from 16 countries or regions, with China, Spain and Brazil the largest groups.按（Elsevier）编委页统计，编委与顾问共 36 人，分布于 16 个国家或地区，其中中国、西班牙与巴西人数最多。
• An editorial advisory board of analytical chemists advises on instrumentation, speciation analysis and green analytical chemistry.由分析化学家组成的顾问委员会，在仪器、形态分析与绿色分析化学等方面为编辑提供咨询。
• Manuscripts pass through the publisher's online submission system, and the exclusion rules on routine pharmaceutical method work are applied at the screening stage.稿件经出版方在线投稿系统处理，编辑在初筛阶段即按上述排除规则把关常规药物方法类稿件。
