Foundations Of Chemistry

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.

《化學基礎》是一本國際期刊，旨在提供一個跨學科論壇，讓對基礎問題感興趣的化學家、生物化學家、哲學家、歷史學家、教育家和社會學家可以討論與化學“核心科學”相關的概念和基本問題。這些問題包括化學在物理學和生物學之間的獨立作用以及將化學簡化為量子力學的問題。該期刊將發(fā)表同行評議的學術(shù)文章，涉及廣泛的子學科，其中包括：化學模型、化學語言、隱喻和理論術(shù)語；化學進化和人工自我復制；工業(yè)應用、環(huán)境問題以及化學專業(yè)性的社會和倫理方面；建模的性質(zhì)和儀器在化學中的作用；化學科學中的機構(gòu)研究和解釋的性質(zhì)；理論化學、分子結(jié)構(gòu)和混沌；現(xiàn)實主義問題；分子生物學、生物無機化學；古代化學、中世紀化學和煉金術(shù)的歷史研究；哲學和歷史文章；以及與化學科學所有主題相關的教學材料?！痘瘜W基礎》計劃推出專門針對特定主題的特刊，并將包含書評和討論筆記。讀者：化學家、生物化學家、哲學家、歷史學家、化學教育家、社會學家和其他對科學基礎問題感興趣的科學家。

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警名單，廣大學者值得一試。
