The Chemical Record (TCR) is a "highlights" journal publishing timely and critical overviews of new developments at the cutting edge of chemistry of interest to a wide audience of chemists (2013 journal impact factor: 5.577). The scope of published reviews includes all areas related to physical chemistry, analytical chemistry, inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, polymer chemistry, materials chemistry, bioorganic chemistry, biochemistry, biotechnology and medicinal chemistry as well as interdisciplinary fields.TCR provides carefully selected highlight papers by leading researchers that introduce the author's own experimental and theoretical results in a framework designed to establish perspectives with earlier and contemporary work and provide a critical review of the present state of the subject. The articles are intended to present concise evaluations of current trends in chemistry research to help chemists gain useful insights into fields outside their specialization and provide experts with summaries of recent key developments.

《化學記錄》(TCR)是一本“亮點”期刊，它及時發表了化學家們感興趣的前沿化學新進展的批判性綜述(2013年《影響因子》：5.577)。出版的綜述涵蓋了物理化學、分析化學、無機化學、有機化學、高分子化學、材料化學、生物有機化學、生物化學、生物技術和藥物化學等各個領域以及跨學科領域。TCR提供由主要研究人員精心挑選的重點論文，在一個框架內介紹作者自己的實驗和理論結果，該框架旨在建立與早期和當代工作的觀點，并提供對該學科現狀的批判性回顧。本文旨在對化學研究的當前趨勢進行簡明的評估，以幫助化學家獲得對其專業以外領域的有用見解，并向專家提供最近關鍵進展的摘要。
