《化學開放》是一個多學科的、黃金之路開放獲取的國際論壇，旨在發表來自化學及相關領域的優秀評論、論文和交流。它由16個歐洲大陸化學學會共同擁有，這些學會在一個名為歐洲化學出版協會的聯盟中聯合起來，目的是出版化學及其邊緣學科領域的高質量期刊。一些國家的政府代表在歐洲化學協會強烈建議他們資助的研究是對所有讀者免費開放(開放)，歐洲化學協會擔心沒有期刊的道德標準被化學協會是用于監控這樣的論文。化學開放填補了這一空白。總部設在歐洲的化學開放吸引了來自世界各地的作者和讀者。評審、全文和通信都是同行評審的，電子處理確保了文本和數據的準確復制，以及較短的出版時間。

ChemistryOpen is a multidisciplinary, gold-road open-access, international forum for the publication of outstanding Reviews, Full Papers, and Communications from all areas of chemistry and related fields. It is co-owned by 16 continental European Chemical Societies, who have banded together in the alliance called ChemPubSoc Europe for the purpose of publishing high-quality journals in the field of chemistry and its border disciplines. As some of the governments of the countries represented in ChemPubSoc Europe have strongly recommended that the research conducted with their funding is freely accessible for all readers (Open Access), ChemPubSoc Europe was concerned that no journal for which the ethical standards were monitored by a chemical society was available for such papers. ChemistryOpen fills this gap.Based in Europe ChemistryOpen attracts authors and readers from around the world.Reviews, Full Papers, and Communications are peer-reviewed, and electronic processing ensures accurate reproduction of text and data, plus short publication times.
