Journal Title：Foundations Of Chemistry

Foundations of Chemistry is an international journal which seeks to provide an interdisciplinary forum where chemists, biochemists, philosophers, historians, educators and sociologists with an interest in foundational issues can discuss conceptual and fundamental issues which relate to the `central science' of chemistry. Such issues include the autonomous role of chemistry between physics and biology and the question of the reduction of chemistry to quantum mechanics. The journal will publish peer-reviewed academic articles on a wide range of subdisciplines, among others: chemical models, chemical language, metaphors, and theoretical terms; chemical evolution and artificial self-replication; industrial application, environmental concern, and the social and ethical aspects of chemistry's professionalism; the nature of modeling and the role of instrumentation in chemistry; institutional studies and the nature of explanation in the chemical sciences; theoretical chemistry, molecular structure and chaos; the issue of realism; molecular biology, bio-inorganic chemistry; historical studies on ancient chemistry, medieval chemistry and alchemy; philosophical and historical articles; and material of a didactic nature relating to all topics in the chemical sciences. Foundations of Chemistry plans to feature special issues devoted to particular themes, and will contain book reviews and discussion notes. Audience: chemists, biochemists, philosophers, historians, chemical educators, sociologists, and other scientists with an interest in the foundational issues of science.

Foundations of Chemistry 是一本国际期刊，旨在提供一个跨学科论坛，让对基础问题感兴趣的化学家、生物化学家、哲学家、历史学家、教育家和社会学家可以讨论与“核心科学”相关的概念和基本问题。化学。这些问题包括化学在物理学和生物学之间的自主作用以及将化学还原为量子力学的问题。该杂志将发表广泛的子学科的同行评审学术文章，其中包括：化学模型、化学语言、隐喻和理论术语；化学进化和人工自我复制；工业应用、环境问题以及化学专业的社会和伦理方面；建模的性质和仪器在化学中的作用；机构研究和化学科学解释的性质；理论化学、分子结构与混沌；现实主义问题；分子生物学、生物无机化学；古代化学、中世纪化学和炼金术的历史研究；哲学和历史文章；以及与化学科学中所有主题相关的教学性质的材料。化学基础计划以专门针对特定主题的特殊问题为特色，并将包含书评和讨论笔记。受众：化学家、生物化学家、哲学家、历史学家、化学教育家、社会学家和其他对科学基础问题感兴趣的科学家。
