{The decision made by the} {\textit{Acad\'{e}mie des sciences}} {to
provide since January 1, 2020 a fully open access worldwide to its
well-established publications} {\textit{Comptes Rendus}}{, including of
course} {\textit{Comptes Rendus Chimie}} {(``diamond model'') was
acclaimed by the entire scientific community, authors and readers
alike.}

{Most of you are familiar with our editorial policy. Chemistry is a
very rich and diverse science, and we aim to cover all its aspects,
from fundamental concepts to applications, whether in the core of the
discipline or at the frontiers with other disciplines. We publish
original research articles and accounts (short reviews focused on the
authors' recent scientific contributions), preliminary communications
that typically describe novel and important results, as well as
historic chronicles. The work should be of high general interest or
outstanding specialized interest. Furthermore, thematic issues
coordinated by one or many guest editor(s) (upon invitation or
spontaneous suggestions) are particularly attractive and welcome by our
readers because they allow an easy and efficient assessment of rapidly
expanding fields of research. We are most grateful to our authors and
guest editors because they are responsible for the success of this
journal and its increasing\break visibility.}

The thematic issues published in 2023 covered the following topics:
\begin{itemize}
\item Louis Pasteur: to celebrate his 200{th} anniversary,
various articles were published
\href{https://comptes-rendus.academie-sciences.fr/page/louis-pasteur\_en/}{here}
in collaboration with \textit{Comptes Rendus Biologie}, the
\textit{Notes Acad\'{e}miques de l'Acad\'{e}mie d'agriculture de
France}, and the \textit{Bulletin de l'Acad\'{e}mie
v\'{e}t\'{e}rinaire}, which illustrated his contributions to chemistry,
biology, medicine, and agriculture 

\item \href{https://comptes-rendus.academie-sciences.fr/chimie/item/CRCHIM\_2023\_\_26\_S1/}
{Materials and Clean Processes for Sustainable Energy and Environmental Applications} 
{(Guest Editors: Mejdi Jeguirim, Patrick Dutourni\'{e})}

\item \href{https://comptes-rendus.academie-sciences.fr/chimie/item/CRCHIM\_2023\_\_26\_S2/}
{Chemical Ecology -- Chemical Mediation in the Environment} 
{(Guest Editors: Anne-Genevi\`{e}ve Bagn\`{e}res, Olivier Thomas)}

\item \href{https://comptes-rendus.academie-sciences.fr/chimie/item/CRCHIM\_2023\_\_26\_S3/}
{Chemical Biology} {(Guest Editors: Marie Lopez, Elisabetta Mileo, Eric
Defrancq, Agnes Delmas, Boris Vauzeilles, Dominique Guianvarch,
Christophe Biot)}
\end{itemize}

{As practised by most major scientific journals and in order not to
overload our referees unduly, only submissions considered by the
Editorial office to potentially meet the criteria given above are sent
out to referees. We are fully aware that this policy can generate
frustrations, but this is the only way to proceed given the number of
submissions received by the Editorial Office. To be able to rely on
high-level scientific referees with an ethic that lives up to their
task is essential for a scientific journal and we know that these
colleagues are being increasingly solicited. We sincerely thank them
for their contribution to the success of} {\textit{Comptes Rendus
Chimie}} {and we are particularly grateful to our 10 most active
referees listed in Table~\ref{tab1}.}

\begin{table*}
