Aims & Scope✦ Compiled from public sources

Molecular Catalysis publishes original contributions examining the molecular and atomic aspects of catalytic activation and reaction mechanisms. The journal covers heterogeneous catalysis including immobilized molecular catalysts, and homogeneous catalysis including organocatalysis, organometallic catalysis, and biocatalysis. It also includes photo- and electrochemistry and theoretical aspects of catalysis analyzed by computational methods, focusing on chemical synthesis for pharmaceutical building blocks, fine chemicals, commodity chemicals, or bulk chemicals.

Frequently asked questions about Molecular Catalysis

Is Molecular Catalysis a predatory journal?

PubScope has no integrity flags on record for Molecular Catalysis: it is indexed in Web of Science, Scopus, and is not on DOAJ's withdrawn list. Indexing is a transparency signal, not a guarantee β€” always confirm fit and policies before submitting.

What is the impact factor of Molecular Catalysis?

Molecular Catalysis is indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection, so Clarivate publishes an official Journal Impact Factor for it (since the 2023 Journal Citation Reports, every Core Collection journal β€” including Arts & Humanities and Emerging Sources titles β€” receives one). PubScope links to Clarivate's official source rather than reprinting the number, which can be out of date. Its open 2-year mean citedness is 2.64.

Is Molecular Catalysis indexed in Scopus and Web of Science?

Molecular Catalysis is indexed in Web of Science, Scopus.
