As reported by C&EN and Retraction Watch, the Elsevier journal Chemosphere, which still appears as a Q1 chemistry journal on the list maintained by Scimago, is one of the latest titles which lost their impact factor, managed by Clarivate (Web of Science).
A committee of scholars in Finland, called JUFO, has decided to downgrade 271 scientific journals, including a number of chemistry titles, like Atoms, Molecules, and Polymers, from the publishers Frontiers and MDPI in their quality rating system to level 0 (these papers count in Finland the same as popular articles or scientific articles that haven’t been peer-reviewed). The expectation is that this move may discourage researchers from submitting manuscripts to these journals.
May this holiday season bring enjoyment, peace, light, knowledge, and open-mindedness to all the past and present doctoral candidates and supervisors of HKDI, as well as a happy and healthy 2025.
Interesting reading from IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry), the leading international organization of chemists working in academia and industry: the top 10 emerging technologies in 2024.
