《化學學會評論》發表了對化學科學領域當前感興趣的主題的簡短介紹性綜述。該雜志的哲學是介紹化學家不熟悉的領域討論最新的想法和發展。這些評論不是針對專家的，因此是以一種友好的、信息豐富的風格撰寫的。作者是該領域的知名工作者，他們被要求定義必要的技術術語，但要避免行話。本文介紹了這一回顧的背景和歷史背景，并對當前的思想作了簡明扼要的介紹。編輯委員會積極鼓勵跨學科和創新的想法;這使得非專業人員可以訪問評審。沒有提供一個全面的說明，相反，審查應該作為一個跳板，有興趣的讀者開始進一步閱讀。由于跨學科的方法，專家也可能對該領域獲得新的見解。因此，《化學學會評論》具有廣泛的吸引力。即將從事研究工作的學生將會從各種各樣的主題中找到有價值的背景信息。尋求新方向的經驗豐富的研究人員將受到跨學科性質的評論的啟發。想要跟上自身利益之外的進步的化學家們將會被雜志上解釋的這項研究所吸引?；瘜W學會的評論使你處于化學科學的前沿。

Chemical Society Reviews publishes short introductory overviews of topics of current interest across the chemical sciences. The philosophy of the journal is to introduce chemists not familiar with the field under discussion to the most recent thinking and developments. The reviews are not aimed at the expert and as such are written in a friendly, informative style. Authors, who are renowned workers in the field, are asked to define necessary technical terms but to avoid jargon. A background and historical context to the review are given as well as a clear but concise guide to current thought. Interdisciplinary and innovative ideas are positively encouraged by the Editorial Board; this makes the reviews accessible to the non-expert. A comprehensive account is not provided, rather, the review should act as a springboard for interested readers to begin further reading. The expert may also gain new insights into the field because of the interdisciplinary approach. As a result, Chemical Society Reviews has a wide appeal. Students about to embark on a career in research will find valuable background information to a wide variety of topics. Experienced researchers looking for a new direction will be inspired by the interdisciplinary nature of the reviews. Chemists wanting to keep up with advances outside their own immediate interests will be fascinated by the research explained in the journal. Chemical Society Reviews keeps you at the frontiers of chemical science.
