Trends in Chemistry represents a new global platform for discussion of significant and transformative concepts in all phases of chemistry. Undoubtedly, uncovering new frontiers in chemistry will have significant impact on many of the imposing challenges facing our world today. The journal offers readable, multidisciplinary review, opinion, and short articles that are thoughtfully designed to keep students and leading scientists alike updated on the most pressing issues in the field. The journal highlights all aspects of analytical, inorganic, organic, physical, and theoretical chemistry with major themes including: biochemistry, catalysis, colloids, environmental chemistry, materials, medicine, polymers, and supramolecular chemistry. Additionally, we welcome articles on chemical education; health and safety; policy and public relations; and ethics and law. Articles for Trends in Chemistry are peer-reviewed and generally commissioned by the editor, however, proposals are encouraged. Because chemistry intersects many other scientific disciplines such as biology, computer science, mathematics, and physics, the audience for Trends in Chemistry is broad. Accordingly, we emphasize readable articles that minimize field-specific language and abbreviations. Please note that we cannot accept manuscripts that rely on unpublished data.
