# Nature Reviews Chemistry (nature-reviews-chemistry)
## Journal positioning
Nature Reviews Chemistry is a Springer Nature review journal that publishes authoritative, accessible reviews across the whole of chemistry — organic, inorganic, physical, analytical, materials, and chemical biology. Its defining character is that content is overwhelmingly invited and commissioned by a professional in-house editorial team: authors are recognized leaders, and articles are developed in close collaboration with editors rather than submitted cold. The journal publishes no primary research; its value is conceptual synthesis — framing a field, organizing competing ideas into a coherent narrative, and using figures as pedagogy so that a non-specialist chemist can grasp the state and trajectory of a subfield. Readership is the broad chemistry community plus adjacent scientists who need an expert's map of an area. This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current official guidelines. Before any contact, re-check the live author and proposal information on the Nature Reviews Chemistry site.
## When to trigger
- An author wants to propose or has been invited to write an authoritative, field-defining review across any area of chemistry.
- A leading researcher is choosing between Nature Reviews Chemistry and Chemical Reviews or Chemical Society Reviews for a synthesis-style article and needs to understand the commissioned, conceptual, accessibility-first model.
- A team has primary results and is mistakenly considering a "review" framing here; the trigger is to redirect them to a primary-research venue.
- An author needs the journal's expectations on conceptual framing, figure-as-pedagogy, and the pre-submission proposal route before approaching the editors.
