Microchimica Acta

Microchimica Acta is a monthly peer-reviewed journal published by Springer in Vienna that reports chemical, biochemical and biological analysis built on advanced micro- and nanomaterials, with a 2025 Journal Impact Factor of 5.4.《微化学学报》（Microchimica Acta）由设于维也纳的（Springer）出版，为月刊，发表以先进微米与纳米材料为基础的分析、生化与生物分析方法，2025 年影响因子为 5.4。

Scope

• The journal publishes genuinely novel methods of chemical, biochemical and biological analysis based on non-routine micro- and nanomaterials.本刊发表以非例行微米与纳米材料为基础的、具有真正新意的化学、生化与生物分析方法。
• Materials covered include micro- and nano-shaped particles, upconversion particles, quantum dots, wires and molecular frameworks.所涉材料包括微米与纳米尺度颗粒、上转换颗粒、量子点、线状结构以及分子框架。
• Mesoporous and nanoporous materials, nano-sized imprints, thin films and hybrid materials are also central.介孔与纳米多孔材料、纳米尺度印迹、薄膜以及杂化材料同样居于核心。
• Analytical devices for point-of-care and on-site testing, wearable sensors and alarm systems are within scope.面向即时检验与现场检测的分析装置、可穿戴传感器与报警系统均在范围之内。
• In vivo monitoring, tissue-embedded diagnostics, biomedical imaging and targeting are covered.体内监测、组织内嵌诊断、生物医学成像与靶向也在收录之列。
• Micro- and nanomotors and sensing materials built on synthetic biology are newer areas of interest.微纳马达以及基于合成生物学的传感材料是较新的关注方向。
• Surface modification and biofunctionalization, and the characterization of the materials used, are integral to every paper.表面修饰与生物功能化以及所用材料的表征，是每篇论文不可或缺的部分。

History

• Microchimica Acta was founded in Vienna in 1937, and its first volumes appeared under the German title Mikrochimica Acta.《微化学学报》1937 年创刊于维也纳，最初数卷以德文刊名（Mikrochimica Acta）出版。
• From the late 1930s until the early 1950s it carried the joint title Mikrochemie vereinigt mit Mikrochimica Acta after merging with the older Mikrochemie.20 世纪 30 年代末至 50 年代初，本刊与更早的《微量化学》合并，采用联合刊名（Mikrochemie vereinigt mit Mikrochimica Acta）。
• From the mid-1950s it appeared again under its own name, and the English spelling Microchimica Acta became established in the 1960s and 1970s.20 世纪 50 年代中期起，本刊恢复本名，英文拼写（Microchimica Acta）在 60 至 70 年代逐步确立。
• It has stayed with its Vienna publisher, now part of Springer Nature, and appears monthly.本刊始终由维也纳的出版方出版，该社现属（Springer Nature），刊期为月刊。
• Its focus moved toward micro- and nanomaterial-based bioanalytical science, with invited reviews and topical collections.其重心转向以微米与纳米材料为基础的生物分析科学，并设有特邀综述与专题合集。
• Its impact factor was 5.833 in 2021, 6.408 in 2022, 5.3 in 2024 and 5.4 in 2025.其影响因子 2021 年为 5.833，2022 年为 6.408，2024 年为 5.3，2025 年为 5.4。

Editors

• Alberto Escarpa of the University of Alcala in Spain is one of the two editors-in-chief.西班牙（University of Alcala）的 Alberto Escarpa 是两位主编之一。
• Mamas I. Prodromidis of the University of Ioannina in Greece is the other editor-in-chief.希腊（University of Ioannina）的 Mamas I. Prodromidis 为另一位主编。
• The two succeeded Otto S. Wolfbeis as editors-in-chief.两位主编接替 Otto S. Wolfbeis 出任现职。
• Wolfgang Frenzel and J. Oleksy-Frenzel in Berlin serve as managing editors.柏林的 Wolfgang Frenzel 与 J. Oleksy-Frenzel 担任执行编辑。
• Senior associate editors from Europe, North America, Australia and Asia handle manuscripts.来自欧洲、北美、澳大利亚与亚洲的资深副编辑负责处理稿件。
• Each paper is first screened for analytical novelty and for the use of advanced micro- or nanomaterials, then assessed by at least two independent referees.每篇稿件先就分析新颖性与先进微纳材料的使用进行初筛，再由至少两位独立审稿人评审。
