About the Journal

Aims & Scope

The journal seeks research that advances chemical knowledge through a clearly defined question, appropriate methods and conclusions supported by evidence. It provides a forum for experimental and theoretical work, as well as reviews that critically examine progress and identify questions for further investigation.

• Organic, inorganic and physical chemistry
• Organometallic and coordination chemistry
• Chemical kinetics and catalysis
• Electrochemistry
• Polymer chemistry
• Materials science and crystal chemistry
• Nanochemistry and functional materials
• Petrochemistry and petroleum refining
• Biochemistry
• Environmental chemistry and alternative energy sources

Across these areas, the journal values a clear account of what is new, why it matters and how the findings can be evaluated and built upon by other researchers.

History & Journal Identity

Founded on 19 September 2002 by Professor Akif Sh. Aliyev, the journal began publication in 2003. The enterprise Turan joined as a co-founder in 2004. The R. Agladze Institute of Inorganic Chemistry and Electrochemistry, Georgia, is an honorary co-founder.

Journal Metrics

Metrics are presented with their reporting year and source. They describe citation activity at journal level and should be considered alongside the relevance and quality of individual articles.

Reviewed on 7 October 2026. The Institute’s announcement of 17 April 2026 reports the journal’s 2025 SCImago Q3 result. Current indicators can be checked through the official profiles linked above.

Indexing, Abstracting & Research Discovery

The journal is represented in citation databases, subject information services, repositories and library catalogues. These services have different functions: inclusion in a directory or repository does not itself constitute a journal ranking.

Peer Review & Research Integrity

Submissions undergo an initial editorial assessment followed by double-blind peer review. The published author guidelines require at least two positive reviews before the editor-in-chief makes the final publication decision. Review considers originality, scientific relevance, methodological soundness and the clarity of the results.

The journal’s editorial policy draws on COPE principles. Accurate attribution, transparent reporting, disclosure of conflicts of interest and respect for the integrity of the scientific record are central to responsible publication. Authors should consult the Editorial Ethics and Rules for Authors pages for the applicable requirements.

Open Access

Published articles are freely available to readers without a subscription. The journal’s open-access statement permits reading, downloading, copying, distributing, printing, searching and linking to full texts, and other lawful uses, without prior permission from the publisher or author. Open access for readers is distinct from publication charges; current author fees and exemptions are set out in the Rules for Authors.
