Chemical Society Reviews publishes accessible, succinct and reader-friendly articles on topics of current interest in the chemical sciences.
- Impact factor: 13.69
- International editorial board and authorship
- Includes Chemical Science
- Now 12 issues, keeping readers at the frontiers of chemical science
Description: Chemical Society Reviews publishes tutorial and critical reviews. The promotion of international and multidisciplinary awareness and co-operation is particularly encouraged. Articles of "social interest" (eg drugs in sport) are also published, giving an overview of topical areas.
Tutorial reviews are written to be of relevance both to the general research chemist who is new to the field, as well as the expert, and are accessible to advanced undergraduates and beyond. They provide an essential introduction to the field and serve as a springboard to further reading. Authors are required to keep length and references to a minimum in order to give an enticing flavour of the topic rather than a comprehensive treatise. The implications of recent developments for the wider scientific community are emphasised.
Critical reviews provide a deeper understanding of the topic in hand, yet retain their accessibility through an introduction written for the general reader. They give a critical discussion of the existing state of knowledge of the subject matter, and while not exhaustive in coverage give a balanced assessment of the current primary literature, normally concentrating on the previous 5-10 years. As for tutorial reviews, the implications of recent developments for the wider scientific community are emphasised.
Readership: Chemists working in all areas of the chemical sciences.
Abstracts: Cited in various databases including MEDLINE.

1.0 Policy and Aims
Chemical Society Reviews publishes accessible, succinct and
reader-friendly articles on topics of current interest in the
chemical sciences. The promotion of international and
multidisciplinary awareness and co-operation is particularly
encouraged. Chemical Society Reviews publishes two article
types: Tutorial Reviews and Critical Reviews.
2.0 Tutorial Reviews
Tutorial reviews should be written to be of relevance both to
the general research chemist who is new to the field, as well as
the expert, and must be accessible to advanced undergraduates
and beyond. They should provide an essential introduction to
the field, serving as a springboard to further reading, and
should have particular appeal to younger researchers seeking
new fields to explore. Authors are required to write succinctly
and select references carefully in order to give an enticing
flavour of the topic rather than a comprehensive treatise. The
implications of recent developments for the wider scientific
community should be emphasised.
Tutorial reviews must be:
?Short: 8?0000 word equivalents: the entire manuscript
(double-spaced text and artwork) should not exceed 30 pages of
A4 or American Quarto (8?0 journal pages)
?Lightly referenced: A maximum of 35 citations is strongly
recommended. Multiple referencing (the use of a, b, etc.) is
strongly discouraged. It is recommended that 7?0 citations be
used to show the development of the field, whilst a further 10
be used to explain the basics; the rest should lead the reader to
the latest developments
?Jargon free: All specialist terms and symbols should be
defined. Authors should not presume knowledge beyond
undergraduate level. Fundamental ideas should be simply
explained
For most articles a broad outlook is required: authors should
credit the major contributors within the citation limit. The ‘and
references therein?tag may be useful to direct the reader to
further reading without having to list whole series of papers
from one research group.
Note that excessive length or use of references would provide
sufficient reason for non-acceptance of a manuscript and such
manuscripts may be returned to the author for shortening prior to
peer review.
Tables frequently eat up citations and their use is discouraged.
Other forms of data representation are preferred.
When reaction schemes are given, only the significant
reagents are necessary. Solvents can be omitted as can, in most
cases, temperature. The reader can always refer to the original
text should they require more experimental information.
3.0 Critical Reviews
Critical reviews should provide a deeper understanding of the
topic in hand, yet retain their accessibility through an introduction
written for the general reader. They should give a
critical discussion of the existing state of knowledge of the
subject matter, and while not exhaustive in coverage give a
balanced assessment of the current primary literature, normally
concentrating on the previous 5?0 years. The implications of
recent developments for the wider scientific community should
be emphasised and authors should aim to stimulate progress in
the field.
Critical reviews must be:
?Carefully referenced: 100?50 citations are recommended.
References should be selected to give a balanced view of the
field but do not need to be exhaustive. Multiple referencing
(the use of a, b, etc.) is strongly discouraged
?Jargon free: All specialist terms and symbols should be
defined. Fundamental ideas should be simply explained
Articles should be of a suitable length to give an in depth
discussion of the field but concise writing is encouraged and
1
manuscripts should normally be between 15 and 25 journal
pages in length (18?8000 word equivalents, no more than 75
A4/American quarto pages in length (double-spaced text and
artwork) ).
A good introduction is of prime importance and should
include a historical perspective and set the topic for discussion
in the context of current chemical research. The introduction
must be accessible to the general chemist. The body of the
review should provide an in-depth, critical (yet fair) discussion
of the current field and aim to stimulate further research.
A section of concluding remarks should include comment on
applications or future prospects for the field.
4.0 General Requirements
(Tutorial and Critical Reviews)
The style for Chemical Society Reviews broadly follows that of
RSC primary journals. More detailed guidelines than those
below for the submission of final manuscripts can be found in
the Instructions for Authors of Dalton Transactions or PCCP
or OBC.
Authors must note that review articles must cite material
that has already been independently peer reviewed and easily
available to the readership from the published literature.
Reviews are not the proper vehicles for publishing new results.
Authors are requested to submit copies of any articles cited that
are ‘in press?or ‘submitted?with the review manuscript.
The author’s own work in the field should not be given
special emphasis; all significant players in the field should be
given equal attention.
Templates are available. The formats of these templates
resemble journal layout and are designed to give authors a
clearer idea of the length and layout of their final article. Please
note that use of the templates is optional and not a requirement.
Title and graphical contents entry
Care should be taken to grab the attention of the general
reader through the title. Authors are required to supply a black
and white graphical contents entry along with a snappy description
(30?0 words) of the review. The maximum size for the
graphic is 40 ?80 mm. Please see Issue 1, 2004, for examples
(www.rsc.org/is/journals/current/chsocrev/CS042001.pdf).
Abstract
An abstract of 80?00 words should be supplied with the
text. Authors should endeavour to write the abstract in such a
way as to hold the attention of the general researcher as well
as giving sufficient detail for the expert. The communities of
scientists to whom the review is applicable should be described.
Upon acceptance of the manuscript the Editorial Office may
work with the author to refine the abstract.
Artwork
All diagrams should be clear and consistent with the text.
Titles should be kept as brief as possible. To facilitate rapid
processing of your work and to avoid omissions please ensure
that submitted manuscripts clearly indicate the desired location
of unnumbered graphics in the text, e.g. here>.
Colour reproduction is normally provided free of charge if
there is a scientifically compelling case for the use of colour.
The provision of free colour reproduction is determined by
consideration of whether or not the scientific information
can be assimilated without the use of colour. If colour is not
scientifically justified, then black and white should be used. If
there is no scientifically compelling case for the use of colour,
but the author prefers colour, then the author will be charged
?50/page (VAT), this being a partial contribution to the
additional production costs.
Reproduction of artwork
It is the author’s responsibility to obtain permission from
other publishers for the reproduction of artwork from other
journals and to pay any required fees. This proof of permission
must be submitted with the manuscript to ensure that the
proper acknowledgement to the original source is given in
the published article. Standard permission request forms to aid
the author with this are available online.
Tables
The desired style of article and citation limits for tutorial
reviews militates against the use of tables. Authors should
consider providing the information in diagrammatic form or as
a discussion of the important trends in the text. Judicious use
of tables in critical reviews is permitted although authors are
encouraged to convey the information in alternative formats.
Verbatim repetition of tabular information from already
published material is not encouraged.
If a table is unavoidable, for example to compare and
contrast work from different sources, then careful attention
should be paid to the format. The information should be easily
digestible. The total reference count includes those within
tables.
Electronic Supplementary Information (ESI)
Authors are invited to submit supplementary information to
the RSC’s ESI service. This information will be made freely
available.
Cover artwork
One author per issue will be invited to supply full page
cover artwork. Authors are welcome to submit suggestions of
attractive, chemically relevant and colourful graphics to the
Editor with the revised manuscript. Please note that submission
of cover artwork does not guarantee that it will be used.
Reviews web site
Authors are encouraged to check our Reviews web site
to ensure that they have cited relevant recent reviews:
www.rsc.org/reviews
5.0 Submission of Articles
Authors are encouraged to send submissions to the Journal in
electronic form using the RSC e-submission service. Articles
submitted in this way will be sent for online refereeing whenever
possible.
All manuscripts will be fully peer reviewed in line with the
journal’s aims and the high quality of scientific reporting
required by the Royal Society of Chemistry.
Any amendments suggested by the referees or the Editorial
Office should be responded to within two weeks of notification.
All changes to the original and refutation of referees
suggestions/comments should be clearly noted and explained in
a covering letter with the revised manuscript.
Online submission of electronic files
Ideally, reviews should be converted from their native word
processor format to a single PDF file for e-submission. Submission
of a full review in PDF format facilitates online refereeing
and allows manuscripts to be handled more accurately and
efficiently by the Editorial Office. Further details and guidance
are available online
The RSC e-submission service allows any number of files
to be uploaded. The following files should be included on
submission of review articles.
2
1. A PDF version of the manuscript as a single file
(containing text (including abstract) and figures)
2. Data for deposition with the ESI service (if appropriate,
see Section 4)
3. Details of any relevant in press submission (please give
reference or include PDF file)
4. Names of potential referees
5. A black and white photograph of each author (or a group
shot) supplied as a.tiff file at a resolution of greater than 300
dpi
6. A brief (approx. 50 words) biography of each author
7. Completed permission request forms (if necessary, see
section 4)
As part of the submission procedure you will be asked
to agree to a License to Publish. Alternatively a form may be
forwarded to the Editor by fax or post (www.rsc.org/is/journals/
current/coplic.htm)
After e-submission your file will be acknowledged by the
Editorial Office as soon as possible. Authors should contact the
Editorial Office if they have not received an acknowledgement
within 4 working days. Authors should not forward more than
one version of their manuscript to avoid errors in manuscript
handling by the Editorial Office.
For manuscripts submitted online a printed copy of the
manuscript will not be required. Review articles commissioned
following acceptance of a synopsis should be submitted as
electronic files using the manuscript reference number and
password assigned to the synopsis and NOT as a new article.
Please contact the Editorial Office if you do not have your
manuscript number and password.
Requirements for revised articles and material for proof
preparation
Electronic submission of revised manuscripts is strongly
preferred. Revised manuscripts sent by post can be accepted
on 3.5 inch disk, ZIP disk or CD-ROM and should be
accompanied by a printed copy of the manuscript. Please
ensure that the electronic version is identical to the hardcopy.
At this stage the native file types should be submitted, along
with a PDF if possible.
If an article is accepted for publication, a MS Word (or
similar native format) version of the manuscript and separate
copies of the artwork in TIFF, EPS or Chemdraw (.cdx)
formats will be required at that time for proof preparation.
Unfortunately PDF files and MS Word files containing
encapsulated figures are not suitable for proof preparation.
Further advice on submission of revised manuscripts and
files for proof preparation is available online.
6.0 Solicitation of Articles
The majority of reviews will be solicited by members of the
Editorial Board in accordance with the policy of the Editorial
Board. However, the Editorial Office welcomes suggestions for
reviews that would be suitable for the journal.
To aid the Editorial Board judge the suitability of a proposed
review for the journal, all authors should submit a synopsis.
The aim is not to provide an extra burden for the author, but
to ensure the article will appeal to the journal’s intended
readership and to reduce the overall time and work needed
in the preparation of the final manuscript. Acceptance of
the synopsis by the Editorial Board does not guarantee
publication of the final manuscript.
Submission of synopses
A synopsis pro-forma is available from the Editorial Office
via csr@rsc.org
The synopsis should include:
?A paragraph explaining the current importance of the field,
its implications for the wider scientific community, and the
communities of readers who will find the article of interest
?A structured synopsis of the review, giving section headings
and expanding on each of these
?A few (8?0) sample references to indicate its breadth and
timeliness
?A brief curriculum vitae of the leading author
Synopses should be returned to the Editorial Office in
electronic form as a MS Word file (or a similar native
format).
