BMC Chemistry

Scope

BMC Chemistry, formerly known as Chemistry Central Journal, is an open access, peer reviewed journal publishing research in all areas of pure and applied chemistry. BMC Chemistry does not make editorial decisions on the basis of the interest of a study or its likely impact. Studies must be scientifically valid; for research articles this includes a scientifically sound research question, the use of suitable methods and analysis, and following community-agreed standards relevant to the research field. Our scope includes, but is not limited to, the core subject areas of analytical, inorganic, organic, physical and materials chemistry, and covers the broad spectrum of chemical research including chemical biology, catalysis, computational and theoretical chemistry, energy materials, environmental chemistry, green chemistry, medicinal chemistry, nuclear chemistry, polymer chemistry, supramolecular chemistry, chemical nanoscience and surface chemistry, as well as cross-disciplinary fields such as bioinorganic, bioorganic, organometallic and physical-organic chemistry. The submission of manuscripts detailing research performed at the interface of chemistry and other scientific fields such as biochemistry, materials science, nanotechnology and physics is also encouraged, where the major advances reported fall within the bounds of chemistry.
