Below field-year expectation
of 1,795 topic-associated OpenAlex sources by lifetime output
FWCI compares papers with the same publication year, type, and field. 1.0 is the world average; above 1.0 is above expectation. This journal's median is 0.13, so its typical recent paper runs about 87% below its field benchmark.
1.7% of recent papers rank in the global top 10% after field normalization. This is easier to compare across specialties than raw citation totals.
Volume is separated from citation accumulation so newer papers are not presented as weaker simply because they are newer.

A lower-cited Q4 journal by citation data
By citation data, Theoretical and Experimental Chemistry is in the lowest quartile in Catalysis and 3 other subfields and ranks #760 of 877 Chemistry journals by Journal Metrics Score (top 87%). A Q4 placement means its papers are cited less than most in the subfield; on its own it does not mean the journal is predatory or that its peer review is weak. Theoretical and Experimental Chemistry's 2026 Journal Metrics Score is 0.7. OpenAlex classifies its papers in subfields including Catalysis, Physical and Theoretical Chemistry, and Organic Chemistry, so check that your topic fits its scope.

Theoretical and Experimental Chemistry's 2026 Journal Metrics Score is 0.7, from the August 2026 data release. The score is a two-year citation average computed from OpenAlex (CC0) data: citations received in the most recent complete year to works published in the two prior years, divided by the number of those works.
We have not found an official acceptance rate published by Theoretical and Experimental Chemistry or its publisher, and Journal Metrics does not estimate one because submission counts are not public. To judge selectivity, compare Theoretical and Experimental Chemistry's quartile and score with similar journals, or ask the editorial office.
Theoretical and Experimental Chemistry's best quartile is Q4. By OpenAlex subfield: Q4 in Catalysis; Q4 in Physical and Theoretical Chemistry; Q4 in Organic Chemistry; Q4 in Materials Chemistry. Quartiles rank journals by Journal Metrics Score within each subfield.
No. Journal Metrics computes the score independently from OpenAlex open data. Other providers use different citation databases, document types, and counting rules, so their published figures for Theoretical and Experimental Chemistry will not match this score exactly. Compare journals using one source at a time.
Comparable journals include Catalysis Communications, Topics in Catalysis, Catalysis Reviews-Science and Engineering, and Catalysis Today. Compare their scores, acceptance times, and costs in the recommended alternatives on this page before choosing where to submit.
