ChemRxiv Preprints

Posted on by

Since the release of the ChemRxiv beta version in 2017, the support and usage of the free archive service for unpublished preprints in chemistry has increased tremendously. Since August 2019 the Chinese Chemical Society and the Chemical Society of Japan became co-owners of ChemRxiv, joining the founding societies the American Chemical Society, the Royal Society of Chemistry, and the German Chemical Society.

Just recently the 10.000th preprint article has been uploaded to the archive. The most prevalent topics include:

  • computational chemistry (2911 entries)
  • organic chemistry (2142 entries)
  • physical chemistry (2139 enties)

and many more…

Here are some useful tips in case you want to submit your preprint!

Or take a look at the ChemRxiv FAQ incase you have other questions.

American Chemical Society Preprint Policy

  • ACS Catalysis
  • ACS Central Science
  • ACS Nano
  • ACS Photonics
  • Inorganic Chemistry
  • The Journal of Physical Chemistry A
  • The Journal of Physical Chemistry B
  • The Journal of Physical Chemistry C
  • The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters
  • Nano Letters
  • …

Prior publication is not allowed:

  • Accounts of Chemical Research
  • Chemical Reviews
  • Journal of the American Chemical Society

ChemRxiv Beta Now Online

Posted on by

The ChemRxiv preprint server is open for submissions. It is now available in a fully functioning beta version. The American Chemical Society, Royal Society of Chemistry and German Chemical Society (GDCh), as well as other not-for-profit groups and scientific publishers, gave support to create a place for chemists to share early results and data before formal peer review.

Authors can submit preprints in various file formats that will automatically assigned with a digital object identifier. ChemRxiv will also link the final published version of articles with preprints.

Elsevier launched its own chemistry preprint server named Chemistry Research Network (ChemRN) in August, too.
