CHEM 222: Is This A Good Journal?

American Chemical Society Journals

For this particular assignment, you need to look at a bunch of references and just kind of "know" what is and what isn't a good journal.  How are you supposed to know how to do this????

 

In general, you can always assume that journals published by the American Chemical Society are good journals.  Those journals are all listed below in alphabetical order.  While there are lots more chem journals that are also very very good, this is a fast & easy starting point to check & see if the things that you are finding are decent......
