Coordination Chemistry Research (COCR)

“Coordination Chemistry Research” (COCR) is the official journal of the Japan Society of Coordination Chemistry, published by Elsevier. This international journal covers all fields related to coordination chemistry, consisting of review articles and original research papers.

As a sister journal to Coordination Chemistry Reviews (CCR), COCR aims to become a leading publication platform in the field of coordination chemistry, with the ambitious goal of achieving an impact factor exceeding 10 in the future.

The journal will be published in an open-access format; however, no publication fees will be charged for the time being.
We are also committed to providing a prompt review and publication process.

We warmly encourage members of the Japan Society of Coordination Chemistry to support this initiative by submitting their manuscripts.
