《化學(xué)物理》的出版標準是標新立異、高質(zhì)量和對實驗和理論化學(xué)、物理化學(xué)的普遍興趣。歡迎討論電子和結(jié)構(gòu)動力學(xué)、反應(yīng)機理、催化的基本方面、太陽能轉(zhuǎn)換和一般化學(xué)反應(yīng)的文章，涉及原子、分子、蛋白質(zhì)、團簇、表面、界面和大塊物質(zhì)。特別歡迎關(guān)于新方法的報告和對現(xiàn)有方法的全面評估，以及對新類型問題的應(yīng)用。實驗論文要與理論聯(lián)系起來，理論論文要與現(xiàn)在或?qū)淼膶嶒灺?lián)系起來。將標準方法應(yīng)用于特定的物理化學(xué)問題和/或特定的系統(tǒng)的手稿，如果它們報告了對一個重要問題的高興趣的新結(jié)果和/或如果它們提供了重要的新見解，是合適的。描述常規(guī)使用或?qū)σ呀⒑?或已發(fā)表的實驗和理論方法進行小的擴展或修改的手稿不適合在該期刊上發(fā)表。此外，描述使用現(xiàn)有光譜技術(shù)的分析程序的手稿，例如用于樣品表征的分析程序，將不被接受出版，即使與以前使用的程序相比，這些手稿似乎是新的或改進過的。除了定期的研究論文，化學(xué)物理學(xué)還發(fā)表邀請透視文章(稱為ChemPhys透視)和專題問題。每一期的化學(xué)物理特刊都提供了當前化學(xué)物理某一特定領(lǐng)域的前沿研究概況，并載有該領(lǐng)域?qū)＜业奶匮恼隆Ｆ淠康氖蔷幹埔惶孜恼拢硪粋€領(lǐng)域的最新研究結(jié)果，相當于專題會議的報告。

Criteria for publication in Chemical Physics are novelty, quality and general interest in experimental and theoretical chemical physics and physical chemistry. Articles are welcome that deal with problems of electronic and structural dynamics, reaction mechanisms, fundamental aspects of catalysis, solar energy conversion and chemical reactions in general, involving atoms, molecules, proteins, clusters, surfaces, interfaces and bulk matter. Reports on new methodologies and comprehensive assessments of existing ones, as well as applications to new types of problems are especially welcome. Experimental papers are expected to be brought into relation with theory, and theoretical papers should be connected to present or future experiments. Manuscripts that apply standard methods to specific physical-chemical problems and/or to specific systems are appropriate if they report novel results for an important problem of high interest and/or if they provide significant new insights.Manuscripts describing routine use or minor extensions or modifications of established and/or published experimental and theoretical methodologies are not appropriate for the journal. In addition, manuscripts describing analytical procedures that use established spectroscopic techniques, such as for sample characterization, will not be accepted for publication, even if they appear new or improved with respect to procedures previously used.In addition to regular research papers, Chemical Physics publishes invited perspectives articles (called ChemPhys Perspectives) and Special Thematic Issues. Each Chemical Physics Special Issue provides a snapshot of the leading edge in current research of a particular field in chemical physics, and contains invited articles by specialists in that field. The objective is to create a collection of articles representative of the newest findings in a field and equivalent to that covered at a topical conference.
