Reviews in Inorganic Chemistry

Reviews in Inorganic Chemistry is a quarterly review journal published by De Gruyter that began in 1979 and covers developments across inorganic chemistry, with a 2025 Journal Impact Factor of 5.8.《无机化学评论》（Reviews in Inorganic Chemistry）由（De Gruyter）出版，1979 年创刊，为季刊综述期刊，覆盖无机化学各方向进展，2025 年期刊影响因子为 5.8。

Scope

• The journal publishes critical scientific and technical reviews only, with no primary research papers.期刊只发表批判性科学与技术综述，不刊载原创研究论文。
• Technical reviews carry detailed synthesis protocols, assessments of methodology and descriptions of apparatus.技术类综述提供详细的合成方案、方法学评估与仪器描述。
• Main group, transition metal and coordination chemistry form the historical core of its coverage.主族化学、过渡金属化学与配位化学，构成其覆盖范围的历史核心。
• Organometallic chemistry and catalysis are treated from synthetic, mechanistic and applied angles.有机金属化学与催化，从合成、机理与应用角度加以讨论。
• Bioinorganic and supramolecular chemistry extend the journal towards biological and host-guest systems.生物无机化学与超分子化学，将期刊延伸至生物体系与主客体体系。
• Ionic liquids are covered as a distinct class of reaction media and functional materials.离子液体作为一类独特的反应介质与功能材料，单独纳入覆盖。
• Solid-state, molecular and surface chemistry are all in scope, approached from synthetic, theoretical or analytical perspectives.固态化学、分子化学与表面化学均在收稿范围，可从合成、理论或分析视角切入。

History

• Print publication began in 1979 under Freund Publishing House in London, with Wiley handling distribution in later years.纸本出版于 1979 年由伦敦的（Freund Publishing House）启动，后期由（Wiley）负责发行。
• The journal was relaunched in 2011 by De Gruyter with a new editor-in-chief and a rebuilt editorial board.2011 年，（De Gruyter）为其换了主编并重组编委会，将期刊重新推出。
• It has remained quarterly, and volume 45 appeared in 2025.刊期始终为季刊，2025 年出至第 45 卷。
• Since 2025 the current volume has been opened under a Subscribe to Open model, so authors pay nothing and articles carry a Creative Commons licence.自 2025 年起，当年卷在“订阅转开放”模式下开放，作者不付费，文章采用（Creative Commons）许可。
• The 2025 Journal Impact Factor is 5.8, after 3.1 in 2024, 2.905 in 2022 and 2.625 in 2021, and it ranks 7th of 45 titles in inorganic and nuclear chemistry.2025 年期刊影响因子为 5.8，2024 年为 3.1，2022 年为 2.905，2021 年为 2.625，在无机与核化学类 45 种期刊中位列第 7。
• Its JCI percentile of 21.11 is far lower than its JIF percentile, reflecting a long citation lag typical of review titles.其期刊引文指标百分位仅 21.11，远低于影响因子百分位，反映综述类期刊常见的引文滞后。

Editors

• Axel Schulz of the University of Rostock is editor-in-chief and works on main group and phosphorus chemistry.罗斯托克大学的 Axel Schulz 担任主编，研究主族化学与磷化学。
• Simon Aldridge of Oxford, Neil Burford of Dalhousie and Leroy Cronin of Glasgow sit on the editorial board.牛津大学的 Simon Aldridge、达尔豪斯大学的 Neil Burford 与格拉斯哥大学的 Leroy Cronin 任编委。
• Kim Dunbar of Texas A&M, Max Holthausen of Frankfurt and Hubert Huppertz of Innsbruck represent coordination, theoretical and solid-state chemistry.德州农工大学的 Kim Dunbar、法兰克福大学的 Max Holthausen 与因斯布鲁克大学的 Hubert Huppertz，分别代表配位化学、理论化学与固态化学。
• Xiaoming Liu, Uwe Rosenthal and Alexander Schiller bring expertise in main group, organometallic and photochemical systems.Xiaoming Liu、Uwe Rosenthal 与 Alexander Schiller 分别带来主族、有机金属与光化学体系方面的专长。
• Stephan Schulz, Jurgen Senker, Carsten von Hanisch and Xian-Ming Zhang complete a predominantly European board with Chinese representation.Stephan Schulz、Jurgen Senker、（Carsten von Hanisch）与 Xian-Ming Zhang 使编委会以欧洲为主并兼具中国代表。
• Manuscripts are handled through ScholarOne, and every accepted paper is a commissioned or unsolicited review rather than a research report.稿件通过（ScholarOne）系统处理，所有录用文章均为约稿或自由来稿的综述，而非研究报告。
