ACS Chemical Neuroscience

ACS Chemical Neuroscience is a peer-reviewed scientific journal published by the American Chemical Society. It covers research on the molecular underpinnings of nerve function in organisms and animal models. The journal was established in January 2010.[1][2] The journal is one of the first journals of the American Chemical Society to be available in online-only format.[2] The founding editor-in-chief is Craig W. Lindsley (Vanderbilt University).

Types of content

The journal publishes research letters, articles, and review articles that all are peer-reviewed. In addition, specially commissioned articles that describe journal content and advances in neuroscience are solicited.[2] Because of the online-only format, researchers can use functionalities available only on the web.[2]

According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2019 impact factor of 4.486.[3] The journal regularly ranks in the highest quartile in all measured categories, i.e., "Neuroscience", "Chemistry, Medicinal", and "Biochemistry and Molecular Biology".[3]

Scope

The journal presents research dealing with diverse topics covering all areas of neuroscience such as neural development, plasticity, and degeneration; molecular and chemical analysis of neurotransmitters and receptors; design and development of pharmaceuticals and therapeutics for neurological diseases; computational neuroscience; pain and chemical senses; molecular basis, detection, and treatment of neurological diseases; molecular mechanisms of aging, learning, memory, and behavior; studies on neurotoxins; neural engineering; neuroimaging; development of tools and techniques in neuroscience; and the use of model organisms in the study of diseases of the central nervous system.[1][2]
