About this journal

Aims and scope

This journal has ceased (2020).

A home for scientifically sound, fully open access and peer-reviewed research, Cogent Chemistry, part of the Taylor & Francis Group, offers authors a fast and affordable option for the publication of their work. The journal is broad in scope, publishing across all major branches of chemistry, from medicinal to materials and analytical to organic, and also welcomes negative results with sound hypotheses and methodology, and replication studies.

Led by the Editor-in-Chief, our expert international editorial board evaluate manuscripts based on scientific validity, methodological soundness and research integrity rather than the impact. Article-level metrics allow the research to be assessed on its own merit.

With open access publishing, research is available to everyone, anywhere, any time, contributing to the global development of research topics at the intersection with other communities such as environmental science, physics, food and agriculture, and engineering. Cogent Chemistry is a fully peer-reviewed, open access journal with a mission to help researchers communicate with a global audience and interact with expert scientists from across the chemistry community and beyond.

Cogent Chemistry considers original research articles and reviews in all fields of chemistry. Submissions are handled by a team of active specialists within the following sections of the journal:

  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Inorganic Chemistry
  • Materials Chemistry
  • Medicinal Chemistry
  • Organic Chemistry
  • Physical Chemistry
  • Theoretical & Computational Chemistry
 
Cogent Chemistry takes an objective and constructive approach to peer review, with editorial teams evaluating work based on its methodological soundness and scientific relevance rather than a perceived level of future importance. A host of post-publication metrics will indicate the ongoing impact of each individual article.
