Spectrochimica Acta Part A-Molecular and Biomolecular Spectroscopy

Spectrochimica Acta Part A: Molecular and Biomolecular Spectroscopy is an Elsevier journal for optical spectroscopy across chemistry, medicine, biology and materials science, descended from Spectrochimica Acta of 1939 and carrying a 2025 Journal Impact Factor of 4.8.「光谱学报 A 辑：分子与生物分子光谱学」由（Elsevier）出版，覆盖化学、医学、生物学与材料科学中的光学光谱学，前身为 1939 年创刊的（Spectrochimica Acta），2025 年期刊影响因子为 4.8。

Scope

• The journal is interdisciplinary, spanning basic and applied aspects of optical spectroscopy rather than a single subfield.刊物具有跨学科性质，涵盖光学光谱学从基础到应用的各个层面，而非局限于单一分支。
• Emphasis falls on electronic, vibrational and rotational spectra of molecules, with spectroscopy based on magnetic moments deliberately played down.重点落在分子的电子、振动与转动光谱，对基于磁矩的光谱则有意淡化。
• Spectroscopy and dynamics in bioanalytical, biomedical, environmental and atmospheric science are named as topics of particular interest.生物分析、生物医学、环境与大气科学中的光谱学与动力学，被列为特别关注的方向。
• Novel experimental techniques and instrumentation for molecular spectroscopy are welcomed, as are novel theoretical and computational methods.分子光谱学的新实验技术与仪器受到欢迎，新的理论与计算方法同样在列。
• Photochemistry and photobiology applications, together with new interpretational approaches and data analysis for electronic or vibrational spectra, complete the scope.光化学与光生物学应用，以及电子或振动光谱的新解释路径与数据分析，构成范围的其余部分。
• Publication turns on novelty, uniqueness and outstanding quality, and routine applications of spectroscopic techniques or computation are explicitly excluded.能否发表取决于新颖性、独特性与卓越质量，光谱技术或计算的常规应用被明确排除。
• Papers must rest on high-quality spectroscopic data and analysis, not on synthesis or application alone.论文须以高质量的光谱数据与分析为支撑，不能仅凭合成或应用立论。

History

• Spectrochimica Acta was founded in 1939, and its twenty-third volume of 1967 was divided into Part A and Part B.（Spectrochimica Acta）创刊于 1939 年，1967 年的第 23 卷拆分为「A 辑」与「B 辑」两刊。
• Part A took the subtitle Molecular Spectroscopy and the separate ISSN 0584-8539, while Part B covered atomic spectroscopy.前者采用副题（Molecular Spectroscopy）并另立（ISSN 0584-8539），后者专注原子光谱学。
• Volume 51A opened in January 1995 under the present subtitle, Molecular and Biomolecular Spectroscopy, and with the current ISSN 1386-1425.第 51A 卷于 1995 年 1 月启用现副题（Molecular and Biomolecular Spectroscopy），并改用现行（ISSN 1386-1425）。
• Elsevier has registered the Part A volumes from 1967 onwards, the earliest years included, under the 10.1016 prefix, and the journal now publishes about 20 volumes a year.（Elsevier）把 1967 年以来的 A 辑各卷（含最早年份）登记在（10.1016）前缀之下，刊物现每年出版约 20 卷。
• It is a hybrid title with an article publishing charge of 4,260 US dollars, an acceptance rate of 27 per cent and a 2025 CiteScore of 9.0.该刊为混合开放获取，文章处理费 4,260 美元，录用率 27%，2025 年（CiteScore）为 9.0。

Editors

• Malgorzata Baranska of the Jagiellonian University in Krakow, who works on Raman imaging, shares the editor-in-chief role with Judy Kim of the University of California San Diego.（Jagiellonian University）的（Malgorzata Baranska）研究拉曼成像，与（University of California San Diego）的（Judy Kim）共同担任主编。
• Judy Kim's own field is Raman and fluorescence spectroscopy of biomolecules.（Judy Kim）本人的研究领域是生物分子的拉曼与荧光光谱。
• Nine editors cover analytical chemistry, clinical spectroscopy, fluorescent probes, theoretical chemistry, surface-enhanced Raman and chemometrics.九位编辑分别负责分析化学、临床光谱学、荧光探针、理论化学、表面增强拉曼与化学计量学。
• Christian Wolfgang Huck at Innsbruck, Fiona Lyng at Technological University Dublin, Huimin Ma at the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Kurt V. Mikkelsen at Copenhagen are among them.其中包括（Innsbruck）的（Christian Wolfgang Huck）、（Technological University Dublin）的（Fiona Lyng）、（Chinese Academy of Sciences）的（Huimin Ma）与（Copenhagen）的（Kurt V. Mikkelsen）。
• An editorial board of more than thirty adds spectroscopists such as Vincenzo Barone, Minhaeng Cho, Zhong-Qun Tian, Shuming Nie, Timothy Keiderling and Veronica Vaida.三十余位编委补充了（Vincenzo Barone）、（Minhaeng Cho）、（Zhong-Qun Tian）、（Shuming Nie）、（Timothy Keiderling）与（Veronica Vaida）等光谱学家。
• The journal lists 47 editors and board members, 71 per cent men and 29 per cent women, and invites prospective reviewers to write to the editorial mailbox with their expertise.刊物编委页共列 47 位编辑与委员，男性占 71%、女性占 29%，并请有意审稿者致函编辑部说明专长。
• In 2025 the median time to first decision was six days, to a post-review decision 35 days and to acceptance 75 days.2025 年首次决定中位时间为 6 天，审后决定 35 天，投稿到录用 75 天。
