Mini-Reviews in Organic Chemistry is a review journal from Bentham Science Publishers, running since 2004, and its 2025 Journal Impact Factor is 2.4.《Mini-Reviews in Organic Chemistry》是 Bentham Science 出版的综述刊物,2004 年创刊,2025 年影响因子 2.4。
Volume 1 number 1 is dated January 2004 and volume 23 is the 2026 volume, which works out at about sixty contributions a year.第 1 卷第 1 期署 2004 年 1 月,第 23 卷对应 2026 年,一年大约六十篇。
Scope
Every article is a review, so a reader looking for a new compound, a new catalyst or a measured constant will not find it here.这里每一篇都是综述,想找新化合物、新催化剂或实测常数的读者,在这本刊里找不到。
A typical piece runs to ten or fifteen pages and carries fifty to a hundred references, which is where the mini in the title comes from.一篇通常十到十五页,参考文献五十到一百条,题名里的 mini 就指这个体量。
The window is recent work, most often the past five to ten years, with anything older kept as background rather than surveyed.取材是近期工作,多是最近五到十年,更早的只作背景带过,不逐一梳理。
Synthetic methodology takes the largest share, with cross-coupling, C-H activation and asymmetric catalysis each revisited every few years.合成方法学占的份额最大,交叉偶联、碳氢活化与不对称催化,隔几年就重写一遍。
Heterocycles and medicinal chemistry sit next to it, since ring construction and lead optimisation are the two ends of the same bench.杂环与药物化学紧挨着,成环与先导化合物优化本来就是一架台子的两头。
Natural products are treated as a source of skeletons, and reviews of alkaloid and terpenoid families appear at a steady rate.天然产物被当作骨架来源来处理,生物碱与萜类家族的综述按稳定的节奏出现。
Green chemistry has its own stream, with aqueous media, solvent-free conditions, microwaves and mechanochemistry all reviewed in turn.绿色化学自成一脉,水相、无溶剂、微波与机械化学轮流被综述。
Computational work and carbohydrate chemistry reached the journal through guest-edited clusters, one on computational glycochemistry in 2011 among them.计算与糖化学是经客座编辑组稿进来的,2011 年那一组就专谈计算糖化学。
Tables of catalysts, solvents and substrate scope are standard furniture, and a reader often takes the table and leaves the prose.催化剂表、溶剂表与底物范围表是标准配置,读者常常只取那张表,正文略过。
Disagreement is printed rather than settled privately, and a commentary on transition-metal-catalysed carboxylation drew a reply from Liang-Nian He in volume 16 in 2019.分歧是印出来的,不在私下解决,一篇谈过渡金属催化羧化的评论,2019 年第 16 卷收到了 Liang-Nian He 的回应。
Hot topic clusters are the journal's standing device, and the batch from 2010 to 2012 covers resveratrol with Enguo Fan, natural products as pesticide leads with Hui Xu, anionic supramolecular chemistry with Wei-tao Gong, peptide arrays with Joachim Koch and cigarette smoke with Chuan Liu and Kevin McAdam.热点专题是这本刊的常用手法,2010 到 2012 年那批里有 Enguo Fan 谈白藜芦醇、Hui Xu 谈天然产物作农药先导、Wei-tao Gong 谈阴离子超分子、Joachim Koch 谈多肽阵列,还有 Chuan Liu 与 Kevin McAdam 谈卷烟烟气。
Only one JCR category is claimed, organic chemistry, so the journal is measured against synthetic chemists rather than against the whole of chemistry.在期刊引文报告里它只占一个类目,即有机化学,衡量的尺子是合成化学家,不是整个化学界。
History
The first preface is signed by Atta-ur-Rahman, who wrote the opening statement for volume 1 in 2004 and again for volume 9 in 2012.创刊序由 Atta-ur-Rahman 署名,他 2004 年为第 1 卷写了开篇,2012 年又为第 9 卷写了一次。
The early years were thin, with 32 records in 2004, 23 in 2006 and 32 in 2008, and a decade passed before the annual count reached fifty.早年很薄,2004 年 32 条,2006 年 23 条,2008 年 32 条,过了十年年产量才够上五十。
2011 brought 55 items and 2014 brought 48, so the growth came in steps rather than as a curve.2011 年是 55 条,2014 年是 48 条,增长是台阶式的,不是一条平滑的曲线。
Volume number and year move together, 2004 plus the volume number minus one, and volume 23 in 2026 sits on that arithmetic without a break.卷号与年份同步走,用 2004 加卷号减一就能对上,2026 年的第 23 卷正落在这一步差上,中间没有断卷。
The issue count grew as well, from four issues a volume in the early years through six from 2015, while the National Library of Medicine records seven issues a year from 2019.期数也在长,早年一卷四期,2015 年起六期,国家医学图书馆则从 2019 年起记作一年七期。
Crossref issue numbers from 2020 reach number 8, so the printed year carries one more issue than the catalogue entry says, and both figures are worth knowing.存缴里的期号 2020 年起排到第 8 期,比馆藏记录多出一期,两个数字都该知道。
Output peaked in 2021 with 83 records, after 77 in 2020 and 72 in 2022, and the level has stayed near sixty since.产量在 2021 年见顶,83 条,前一年 77 条,后一年 72 条,此后一直守在六十条上下。
The deposit holds 1,136 records in all, of which 192 are current and 944 belong to the back file.存缴里一共 1,136 条,192 条属现刊,944 条在回溯库。
The impact factor moved from 2.159 in 2022 down to 1.9 in 2023 and back up through 2.3 in 2024 to 2.4 in 2025, with a five-year figure of 2.2.影响因子 2022 年是 2.159,2023 年降到 1.9,2024 年回到 2.3,2025 年 2.4,五年影响因子 2.2。
Organic chemistry lists 58 titles and places the journal 25th, at the 57.8th percentile, which is the second quartile.有机化学类目列了 58 种刊,这本排第 25,百分位 57.8,落在第二区。
The 2025 release records 1,268 citations, a cited half-life of 5.1 years, an immediacy index of 0.8 and a journal citation indicator of 0.35.2025 年版记下总被引 1,268 次,被引半衰期 5.1 年,即年指标 0.8,期刊引文指标 0.35。
That same release puts the citable base at 38 items and the article count at 1, and the single digit reflects how the column tags items rather than a year of one paper.同一版把可引条目记作 38 篇,年发文一栏只写 1 篇,这一栏只算带完整登记的文章,1 篇并非全年只发了一篇。
Gold open access covers 1.18 per cent of the papers, which leaves the journal a subscription title with an open option for authors who pay.金色开放获取覆盖 1.18% 的论文,这本刊因此仍是订阅刊,作者付费才走开放那一支。
The imprint names Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates at the founding, and the early volumes carry San Francisco beside it as a second office.创刊时的出版印记在阿联酋沙迦,早期各卷在旁边还并列着旧金山的第二处办公地。
Editors
The editor's name is recoverable only from bylined items, because the publisher's site refuses automated requests and the board page could not be read.主编的名字只能从严署名的篇目里找,出版方站点拒绝自动请求,编委页取不到。
Renato Dalpozzo introduced himself as editor-in-chief in volume 16 in 2018 and wrote the preface for the 2020, 2021 and 2022 volumes.Renato Dalpozzo 在 2018 年第 16 卷以主编身份自我介绍,又为 2020、2021、2022 三卷写了卷首。
Siva S. Panda took the same slot in volume 19 in 2022, and his prefaces run from volume 20 in 2023 to volume 23 in 2026.Siva S. Panda 在 2022 年第 19 卷接上这个位置,他的卷首从 2023 年第 20 卷一直写到 2026 年第 23 卷。
Hua Zhao appears as co-editor in volume 17 in 2020, and Roberto Paolesse appears as associate editor the same year, after prefacing volumes 13 and 14 in 2016 and 2017.Hua Zhao 在 2020 年第 17 卷以联合主编出现,Roberto Paolesse 同年以副主编出现,此前他已为 2016 与 2017 年的第 13、14 卷写过卷首。
Guan-Wu Wang served as associate editor in volume 16 in 2019 and again in volume 21 in 2024, which is a long run for a post announced twice.Guan-Wu Wang 在 2019 年第 16 卷任副主编,2024 年第 21 卷又出现一次,同一个职位公告两回,任期不短。
A regional editor is named for one zone, and Vladimir V. Kouznetsov held that title in volume 17 in 2020.区域编辑按片区分工,Vladimir V. Kouznetsov 在 2020 年第 17 卷挂的就是这个头衔。
Section editors cover the named streams, with Leonardo Palmisano and Xinliang Yu introduced in 2020, Rajendra P. Pawar in 2021, Chuanling Si and Nader G.

Khaligh 在 2022 年,Amirhossein Ahmadi 介绍过两次,Pradip K. Bhowmik 在 2024 年。
Board members are introduced one at a time in a standing series, from Herbert Budzikiewicz and Stephen Pyne in 2015 through Franz Bracher in 2018 to Raj Kumar in 2021.编委是一个一个介绍的,这套小传从 2015 年的 Herbert Budzikiewicz 与 Stephen Pyne,经 2018 年的 Franz Bracher,排到 2021 年的 Raj Kumar。
That series also names Nina Berova, Harri Lonnberg, Liang-Nian He, Abdelwahab Omri, Guido Sello, Zhe Liu, Erjia Liu, Grzegorz Mloston, Helene Pellissier and Pedro Lozano.这套小传里还有 Nina Berova、Harri Lonnberg、Liang-Nian He、Abdelwahab Omri、Guido Sello、Zhe Liu、Erjia Liu、Grzegorz Mloston、Helene Pellissier 与 Pedro Lozano。
Reviewers are thanked in a list at the close of each volume, running from the fourth issue in 2012 to the eighth issue in 2025 as the issue count grew.审稿人名单在每卷末尾致谢,从 2012 年的第 4 期排到 2025 年的第 8 期,位置跟着期数一起往后挪。
The board is international by design, and the profiles put Italian, Polish, Finnish, Chinese, Canadian and Hungarian addresses in the same series without comment.编委按设计就是国际的,这套小传把意大利、波兰、芬兰、中国、加拿大与匈牙利的地址并排放在一起,不加说明。
