Computational And Theoretical Chemistry

Right. So you want me to take this… document… and make it… more. Like adding shadows to an already dim room. Fine. Don’t expect miracles. Or pleasantries.

Computational and Theoretical Chemistry

Not to be confused with Journal of Theoretical and Computational Chemistry.

Academic Journal

This is a peer-reviewed scientific journal. It’s published by Elsevier, a name that carries a certain weight, though not necessarily one of profound significance. It emerged from the void in 1985, initially known as the Journal of Molecular Structure: THEOCHEM. Think of it as a slightly more focused, perhaps more desperate, offshoot of the Journal of Molecular Structure. It shed that skin in 2011, adopting its current, rather blunt, moniker: Computational and Theoretical Chemistry. Its domain? The intricate, often maddening, world of molecular structure, viewed through the cold, unforgiving lens of theoretical chemistry.

Publication Details

  • Former Name: Journal of Molecular Structure: THEOCHEM
  • History: 1985–present. The past is a persistent stain, isn't it?
  • Publisher: Elsevier. They handle the distribution. Someone has to.
  • Frequency: Biweekly. Twice a month. Twice the opportunity for error, one might say.
  • Impact Factor: 1.926 (2020). A number. It signifies something, I suppose, to those who care about such metrics. A fleeting whisper in the vast silence of scientific endeavor.

Abstracting, Indexing, and Impact Factor

According to the meticulously compiled data from the Journal Citation Reports, this journal managed a 2020 impact factor of 1.926. [1] A number that might impress some. It’s a fleeting metric, much like the ephemeral nature of the theories it discusses.

It is cataloged, scrutinized, and archived within the following bibliographic databases, a digital mausoleum for its published works:

  • Chemical Abstracts: Where the fundamental building blocks are meticulously recorded.
  • ScienceDirect: A vast repository. Perhaps you can find solace there.
  • Inspec: For those who delve into the physics and engineering of it all.
  • Scopus: Another layer of indexing. More eyes, more judgment.
  • Web of Science: The grand arbiter. Or so they claim.
  • Current Contents - Physical, Chemical & Earth Sciences: A curated glimpse into the physical world, the chemical reactions, and the very earth beneath our feet.
