Subject coverage

Chemical Society Reviews publishes articles on all areas of the chemical sciences.

Article types

Chemical Society Reviews publishes Tutorial reviews and Critical reviews.

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, but 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.

Audience/readership

Chemists and educators working in all areas of the chemical sciences. The tutorial reviews are especially useful tools for teaching.
