Original version of the full text (Propose a translation )

Since January 1, 2020, a major development has taken place for all the publications of the Académie des sciences, including Comptes Rendus Chimie, since they are now fully Open Access worldwide online, with no fee for authors nor readers (“diamond model”). This has been achieved through an innovative collaboration with the Mersenne Centre for open scientific publishing, supported by the CNRS and the University of Grenoble-Alps.

Comptes Rendus Chimie publishes original research and accounts (short reviews and historic chronicles) in all areas of chemistry, including at the frontiers of chemistry with other disciplines. Notes (preliminary communications) should describe novel and important results, while full papers should provide a detailed account of new results. In all cases, the work should be of high general interest or outstanding specialized interest. Short reviews focusing on the author(s) research but placed in the context of the most recent advances in the field are also welcome. Furthermore, thematic issues, coordinated by one or many guest editor(s) provide an opportunity to take stock of an emerging and/or rapidly growing scientific area and their content always attracts much attention.

Four such thematic issues covering very diversified fields, have been published in 2020–2021. These were, in chronological order:

Only submissions considered by the Editorial office to potentially meet the criteria given above are sent out to referees. Of course, we understand the frustrations generated by a rejection not accompanied by detailed comments from the referees, but this is the only way to proceed given the number of submissions received by the Editorial Office. We all know how essential it is for a journal to be able to rely on high-level scientific referees with an ethic that lives up to their task and we also know that these colleagues are being increasingly solicited. We sincerely thank them for their contribution to the success of Comptes Rendus Chimie and we are particularly grateful to our 20 most active referees listed in Table 1.

We are very pleased that the Académie des sciences has recently signed “The Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA)” which recognizes the need to improve the ways in which researchers and the outputs of scholarly research are evaluated. Although the Journal Impact Factor was originally created as a tool to help librarians identify journals to purchase and not as a measure of the scientific quality of research in an article, we know that authors remain interested in its evolution, either for a given journal or within a given field of research. The 2-year impact factor of Comptes Rendus Chimie rose from 2.223 in 2019 to 3.117 in 2020.

We are also pleased to share with you that the quality and diversity of the contributions published in Comptes Rendus Chimie have attracted much international awareness, with most views originating from the USA, France, India and China. The 20 most viewed and downloaded articles in 2021 are listed in Tables 2 and 3, respectively.
