《自然-化学》（Nature Chemistry）是一份涵盖化学所有领域的同行评审科学期刊，由施普林格·自然旗下的自然科研出版。Nature Chemistry is a peer-reviewed scientific journal covering all aspects of chemistry, published by Nature Research, a division of Springer Nature.
该期刊发表化学所有核心学科的高质量原创研究论文，以及综述、新闻与观点、研究亮点和评述文章。The journal publishes high-quality original research papers across all core disciplines of chemistry, alongside reviews, News and Views, research highlights, and commentary articles.
《自然-化学》旨在发表代表化学各分支重大突破或重要进展的研究工作。Nature Chemistry aims to publish research representing significant breakthroughs or notable advances across all branches of chemistry.
其报道范围不仅包括传统学科如分析化学、无机化学、有机化学和物理化学，还延伸至催化、计算与理论化学、材料化学、超分子化学以及化学生物学等交叉领域。Its scope encompasses not only traditional disciplines such as analytical, inorganic, organic, and physical chemistry, but also interdisciplinary fields including catalysis, computational and theoretical chemistry, materials chemistry, supramolecular chemistry, and chemical biology.
除了严谨的研究论文外，该期刊还致力于刊发易于理解的综述与前瞻性评论，促进更广泛科学界对化学新概念的理解。In addition to rigorous primary research, the journal is committed to publishing accessible reviews and prospective commentaries to foster broader scientific understanding of emerging chemical concepts.
该期刊于2009年4月正式创刊，旨在为化学全领域提供一个高影响力的专业发表平台。The journal was officially launched in April 2009 to provide a dedicated, high-impact publication platform for all areas of chemistry.
它的创办延续了《自然》系列旗下学科专属期刊的成功模式，例如此前的《自然-材料》和《自然-纳米技术》。Its establishment continued the successful model of subject-specific titles under the Nature portfolio, such as the earlier Nature Materials and Nature Nanotechnology.
自创刊以来，该期刊迅速确立了自身作为跨学科化学领域顶级期刊的地位，常年保持着极高的学术影响力与引用率。Since its inception, the journal has rapidly established itself as one of the premier journals in multidisciplinary chemistry, consistently maintaining high scholarly impact and citation metrics.
该期刊由专职全职学术编辑团队独立运营，负责稿件初筛与同行评审的组织工作。The journal is independently managed by a professional team of full-time editors who oversee manuscript screening and coordinate the peer-review process.
斯图尔特·坎特里尔（Stuart Cantrill）自2009年创刊起便担任创刊主编，并长期主持该期刊的编辑发展方向与学术标准。Stuart Cantrill served as the founding Chief Editor since its launch in 2009, long guiding the journal's editorial direction and scholarly standards.
编辑团队还包括多位具有不同化学专业背景的高级编辑与助理编辑，分别涵盖有机合成、生物化学、材料及物理化学等细分方向。The editorial team also includes senior and associate editors with diverse expertise across organic synthesis, chemical biology, materials science, and physical chemistry.
