Frontiers in Chemistry

期刊简介：Frontiers in Chemistry is a high visiblity and quality journal, publishing rigorously peer-reviewed research across the chemical sciences. Field Chief Editor Steve Suib at the University of Connecticut is supported by an outstanding Editorial Board of international researchers. This multidisciplinary open-access journal is at the forefront of disseminating and communicating scientific knowledge and impactful discoveries to academics, industry leaders and the public worldwide.Chemistry is a branch of science that is linked to all other main fields of research. The omnipresence of Chemistry is apparent in our everyday lives from the electronic devices that we all use to communicate, to foods we eat, to our health and well-being, to the different forms of energy that we use. While there are many subtopics and specialties of Chemistry, the fundamental link in all these areas is how atoms, ions, and molecules come together and come apart in what some have come to call the “dance of life”. All specialty sections of Frontiers in Chemistry are open-access with the goal of publishing outstanding research publications, review articles, commentaries, and ideas about various aspects of Chemistry. The past forms of publication often have specific subdisciplines, most commonly of analytical, inorganic, organic and physical chemistries, but these days those lines and boxes are quite blurry and the silos of those disciplines appear to be eroding. Chemistry is important to both fundamental and applied areas of research and manufacturing, and indeed the outlines of academic versus industrial research are also often artificial. Collaborative research across all specialty areas of Chemistry is highly encouraged and supported as we move forward. These are exciting times and the field of Chemistry is an important and significant contributor to our collective knowledge.

【译文】《化学前沿》是一本高可见性和高质量的期刊，发表经过严格同行评审的化学科学研究成果。康涅狄格大学的Field Chief Editor Steve Suib得到了一支由国际研究人员组成的杰出编辑委员会的支持。这本多学科开放获取期刊处于传播和沟通科学知识和重大发现的前沿，面向全球的学者、行业领袖和公众。化学是科学的一个分支，与所有其他主要研究领域都有关联。化学的无所不在性在我们的日常生活中显而易见，从我们用来沟通的电子设备，到我们吃的食物，到我们的健康和福祉，再到我们使用的不同形式的能量。虽然化学有许多子主题和专业领域，但所有这些领域的根本联系在于原子、离子和分子如何聚集和分离，这被一些人称为“生命的舞蹈”。《化学前沿》的所有专业部分都是开放获取的，旨在发表关于化学各个方面的杰出研究成果、综述文章、评论和想法。过去的出版物形式通常有特定的子学科，最常见的是分析化学、无机化学、有机化学和物理化学，但如今这些界限和框框相当模糊，这些学科的壁垒似乎正在瓦解。化学对基础研究和应用研究以及制造业都至关重要，而且学术研究与工业研究之间的轮廓也往往是人为的。随着我们向前发展，鼓励和支持跨所有化学专业领域的协作研究。这是激动人心的时刻，化学领域是我们集体知识的重要和有意义的贡献者。
