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.

《化學(xué)基礎(chǔ)》是一本國際期刊，旨在提供一個(gè)跨學(xué)科論壇，讓對(duì)基礎(chǔ)問題感興趣的化學(xué)家、生物化學(xué)家、哲學(xué)家、歷史學(xué)家、教育家和社會(huì)學(xué)家可以討論與化學(xué)“核心科學(xué)”相關(guān)的概念和基本問題。這些問題包括化學(xué)在物理學(xué)和生物學(xué)之間的獨(dú)立作用以及將化學(xué)簡(jiǎn)化為量子力學(xué)的問題。該期刊將發(fā)表同行評(píng)議的學(xué)術(shù)文章，涉及廣泛的子學(xué)科，其中包括：化學(xué)模型、化學(xué)語言、隱喻和理論術(shù)語；化學(xué)進(jìn)化和人工自我復(fù)制；工業(yè)應(yīng)用、環(huán)境問題以及化學(xué)專業(yè)性的社會(huì)和倫理方面；建模的性質(zhì)和儀器在化學(xué)中的作用；化學(xué)科學(xué)中的機(jī)構(gòu)研究和解釋的性質(zhì)；理論化學(xué)、分子結(jié)構(gòu)和混沌；現(xiàn)實(shí)主義問題；分子生物學(xué)、生物無機(jī)化學(xué)；古代化學(xué)、中世紀(jì)化學(xué)和煉金術(shù)的歷史研究；哲學(xué)和歷史文章；以及與化學(xué)科學(xué)所有主題相關(guān)的教學(xué)材料?！痘瘜W(xué)基礎(chǔ)》計(jì)劃推出專門針對(duì)特定主題的特刊，并將包含書評(píng)和討論筆記。讀者：化學(xué)家、生物化學(xué)家、哲學(xué)家、歷史學(xué)家、化學(xué)教育家、社會(huì)學(xué)家和其他對(duì)科學(xué)基礎(chǔ)問題感興趣的科學(xué)家。

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(jí)別的SCI期刊，所以過審相對(duì)來講不是特別難，但是該刊專業(yè)認(rèn)可度不錯(cuò)，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。
