Editorial January 2022 for Comptes Rendus Chimie
Pierre Braunstein
Since January 1, 2020, a major development has
taken place for all the publications of the Académie
des sciences, including Comptes Rendus Chimie,
since they are now fully Open Access worldwide on-
line, with no fee for authors nor readers (“diamond
model”). This has been achieved through an innova-
tive collaboration with the Mersenne Centre for open
scientific publishing, supported by the CNRS and the
University of Grenoble-Alps.
Comptes Rendus Chimie publishes original re-
search and accounts (short reviews and historic
chronicles) in all areas of chemistry, including at
the frontiers of chemistry with other disciplines.
Notes (preliminary communications) should de-
scribe novel and important results, while full papers
should provide a detailed account of new results. In
all cases, the work should be of high general interest
or outstanding specialized interest. Short reviews
focusing on the author(s) research but placed in the
context of the most recent advances in the field are
also welcome. Furthermore, thematic issues, coor-
dinated by one or many guest editor(s) provide an
opportunity to take stock of an emerging and/or
rapidly growing scientific area and their content
always attracts much attention.
Four such thematic issues covering very diversi-
fied fields, have been published in 2020–2021. These
were, in chronological order:
• Variations around the Periodic Table
(P. Braunstein, R. Guillaumont)
• Sustainable Biomass Resources for Environ-
mental, Agronomic, Biomaterials and Energy
Applications. 1 (Guest editors: M. Jeguirim,
S. Jellali; B. Khiari)
• Sustainable Biomass Resources for Environ-
mental, Agronomic, Biomaterials and Energy
Applications. 2 (Guest editors: M. Jeguirim,
S. Jellali; B. Khiari)
• MAPYRO: the French Fellowship of the
Pyrrolic Macrocyclic Ring (Guest editors:
B. Boitrel, J. Weiss)
Only submissions considered by the Editorial of-
fice to potentially meet the criteria given above are
sent out to referees. Of course, we understand the
frustrations generated by a rejection not accompa-
nied by detailed comments from the referees, but
this is the only way to proceed given the number of
submissions received by the Editorial Office. We all
know how essential it is for a journal to be able to
rely on high-level scientific referees with an ethic that
lives up to their task and we also know that these
colleagues are being increasingly solicited. We sin-
cerely thank them for their contribution to the suc-
cess of Comptes Rendus Chimie and we are particu-
larly grateful to our 20 most active referees listed in
Table 1.
We are very pleased that the Académie des sciences
has recently signed “The Declaration on Research As-
sessment (DORA)” which recognizes the need to im-
prove the ways in which researchers and the out-
puts of scholarly research are evaluated. Although the
Journal Impact Factor was originally created as a tool
to help librarians identify journals to purchase and
not as a measure of the scientific quality of research

in an article, we know that authors remain interested
in its evolution, either for a given journal or within
a given field of research. The 2-year impact factor of
Comptes Rendus Chimie rose from 2.223 in 2019 to
3.117 in 2020.
We are also pleased to share with you that the
quality and diversity of the contributions published
in Comptes Rendus Chimie have attracted much in-
ternational awareness, with most views originating
from the USA, France, India and China. The 20 most
viewed and downloaded articles in 2021 are listed in
Tables 2 and 3, respectively.
The most cited articles in 2020–2021 are listed in
Table 4.
We wish to congratulate our authors for their
achievements and we are proud to increase the vis-
ibility of their work thanks to a fully Open Access
worldwide journal!
We are most grateful to our authors, guest editors
and referees because they are responsible for the suc-
cess of this journal and its increasing visibility.
We would also like to welcome the new foreign
members of the Advisory Board who have joined
us in 2021: R. D. Adams (University of South Car-
olina, USA), A. Corma (Valencia, Spain), S. Dehnen
(Marburg, Germany), P. J. Dyson (EPFL Lausanne,
Switzerland), A. J. L. Pombeiro (Lisbon, Portu-
gal) and J. Rocha (Aveiro, Portugal) and look for-
ward to a fruitful collaboration. At the same time,
we warmly thank those who have left the Advi-
sory Board after supporting our journal for many
years: M. Driess (Berlin, Germany), K. Dunbar
(Texas, USA), T. F. Fässler (Munich, Germany), A.
Fürstner (Mülheim, Germany), F. Gabbai (Texas,
USA), M. Grätzel (EPFL Lausanne, Switzerland),
L. A. Oro (Saragossa, Spain), H. W. Roesky (Göt-
tingen, Germany), and H. Schwarz (Berlin, Ger-
many).
Finally, I am most grateful to the editorial and pro-
duction staff of Comptes Rendus Chimie, in particular
to Julien Desmarets (scientific secretary), for their co-
operation and commitment.
The continuing success of Comptes Rendus
Chimie depends on you! We welcome all sugges-
tions you may have to help us meet your expecta-
tions!
