Journal Title：Foundations Of Chemistry

Foundations of Chemistry is an international journal which seeks to provide an interdisciplinary forum where chemists, biochemists, philosophers, historians, educators and sociologists with an interest in foundational issues can discuss conceptual and fundamental issues which relate to the `central science' of chemistry. Such issues include the autonomous role of chemistry between physics and biology and the question of the reduction of chemistry to quantum mechanics. The journal will publish peer-reviewed academic articles on a wide range of subdisciplines, among others: chemical models, chemical language, metaphors, and theoretical terms; chemical evolution and artificial self-replication; industrial application, environmental concern, and the social and ethical aspects of chemistry's professionalism; the nature of modeling and the role of instrumentation in chemistry; institutional studies and the nature of explanation in the chemical sciences; theoretical chemistry, molecular structure and chaos; the issue of realism; molecular biology, bio-inorganic chemistry; historical studies on ancient chemistry, medieval chemistry and alchemy; philosophical and historical articles; and material of a didactic nature relating to all topics in the chemical sciences. Foundations of Chemistry plans to feature special issues devoted to particular themes, and will contain book reviews and discussion notes. Audience: chemists, biochemists, philosophers, historians, chemical educators, sociologists, and other scientists with an interest in the foundational issues of science.

Foundations Of Chemistry創(chuàng)刊于1999年，由Springer Netherlands出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋HISTORY & PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCE全領(lǐng)域，此刊是中等級別的SCI期刊，所以過審相對來講不是特別難，但是該刊專業(yè)認(rèn)可度不錯，仍然是一本值得選擇的SCI期刊 。平均審稿速度 ，影響因子指數(shù)1.8，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預(yù)警名單，廣大學(xué)者值得一試。
