The latest figures published by Thomson ISI Web of Knowledge show Chem Soc Rev's impact factor has increased by an impressive 33.15%, to 17.42. The 2008 impact factors show that the journal has had the biggest percentage increase for all general chemistry review journals, making it the journal with the second highest impact factor in the field.

In addition, Chem Soc Rev has the highest immediacy index for general chemistry review journals showing that the journal continues to publish highly topical and urgent work from across the science community.
Professor Jonathan Sessler (University of Texas, USA) comments: "I attribute the success to the quality of the authors that the editor and editorial board have been able to recruit..."
According to Wilhelm Huck, Chem Soc Rev Editorial Board Chair, "...the Editor and Editorial Board have made a concerted effort to attract reviews from leading authorities in their fields by suggesting topics for special issues in emerging or rapidly developing areas of science. This has increased the visibility of Chem Soc Rev and established the journal as the platform for topical reviews."
Chem Soc Rev is "first in its class" publishing the largest number of reviews for a general review chemistry journal in 2008. The journal continues to grow and has published more reviews than any other general chemistry reviews journal in the first 5 issues of 2009 (ISI Web of Knowledge data June 2009).
