Scope

• Authoritative and in-depth reviews that connect the primary literature and patent innovation with the latest technical knowledge发表权威而深入的综述，把原始文献与专利创新同最新技术知识贯通起来。
• Traditional areas of polymer chemistry, polymer physics and polymer engineering覆盖高分子化学、高分子物理与高分子工程等传统领域。
• Emerging and interdisciplinary directions such as functional and specialty polymers, biomaterials and soft matter涵盖功能与特种高分子、生物材料与软物质等新兴交叉方向。
• Overviews written for a broad readership across academia and industry rather than narrowly specialized reports综述面向学界与工业界的广泛读者，而非狭深专题报告。
• Articles are commissioned by the editors, and prospective authors may submit a proposal for consideration文章由编辑部约稿，潜在作者可提交选题提案供审议。

History

• The journal began in 1967 as a series of hardback review volumes from Pergamon Press in Oxford该刊 1967 年创办，最初是 Pergamon Press（牛津）出版的综述卷册。
• Its early volumes were edited by A. D. Jenkins and gathered invited overviews of polymer research早期各卷由 A. D. Jenkins 主编，汇集高分子研究领域的特邀综述。
• Pergamon Press was merged into Elsevier in 1991, and the title has been published by Elsevier ever sincePergamon Press 于 1991 年并入爱思唯尔，此后该刊一直由爱思唯尔出版。
• The series settled into a monthly journal appearing twelve times a year with a largely commissioned review programme该刊其后固定为月刊，每年出版十二期，内容以约稿综述为主体。

Editors

• The editor-in-chief is Jean-Francois Lutz of the University of Strasbourg in France, whose research centres on precision and sequence-controlled polymer chemistry现任主编为法国的 Jean-Francois Lutz，任职于斯特拉斯堡大学，研究方向为精准与序列可控高分子化学。
• Guy Berry and Krzysztof Matyjaszewski, both of Carnegie Mellon University, are listed as honorary editors卡内基梅隆大学的 Guy Berry 与 Krzysztof Matyjaszewski 列名为荣誉编辑。
• Ilhem F. Hakem of Carnegie Mellon University serves as assistant editor, and the editorial board numbers about forty members drawn mainly from the United States, China, Japan and Germany卡内基梅隆大学的 Ilhem F. Hakem 任助理编辑，编委会约四十人，主要来自美国、中国、日本与德国。
• Authors may choose open access publication through Elsevier by paying an article processing charge, and the journal operates on a hybrid model作者可通过爱思唯尔支付版面费后选择开放获取发表，该刊采用混合模式。
