The journals listed below are the 20 top ranking chemistry journals according to impact factor. [3]

  1. Surface Science Reports (journal home)
  2. Chemical Reviews (journal home)
  3. Nature Materials (journal home)
  4. Accounts of Chemical Research (journal home)
  5. Annual Review of Physical Chemistry (journal home)

  10. Nano Letters (journal home)
  11. Medicinal Research Reviews (journal home)
  12. Catalysis Reviews (journal home)
  13. Natural Products reports (journal home)
  14. Progress in Inorganic Chemistry (journal home)
  15. Journal of the American Chemical Society (journal home)
  16. Separation and Purification Reviews journal home)
  17. Coordination Chemistry Reviews (journal home)
  18. Progress in Solid State Chemistry (journal home)
  19. Advanced Functional Materials (journal home)
  20. Advances in Organometallic Chemistry (journal home)

There are only two or three journals in common between the 'impact factor' list and either of the lists based on total counts of citations. The 'impact factor' list contains very many more review journals. Review journals tend to have high impact factors because they publish relatively few articles, but they are referenced many times. For example, Chemical Reviews was cited 45129 times and published 183 articles. Journal of the American Chemical Society has 231890 citations, but ends up with a lower impact factor because it published many more articles: 3167.

The list below presents scientific journals in chemistry and its various subfields.
