Until 1998, Chemische Berichte (usually abbreviated as Ber. or Chem. Ber.) was a German-language scientific journal featuring chemistry of all disciplines. It was one of the oldest scientific and may still be one of the most cited journals in chemistry.
Founded in 1868 as Berichte der Deutschen Chemischen Gesellschaft (ISSN 0365-9631, CODEN BDCGAS), it operated under this title until 1928 (Vol. 61). The journal was then split into:
Vol. 78 and 79 (1945–1946) were omitted and not published due to World War II. The journal was renamed Chemische Berichte (ISSN 0009-2940, CODEN CHBEAM) in 1947 (Vol. 80) until 1996 (Vol. 129).
In 1997, Chemische Berichte and Liebigs Annalen were merged with the Dutch journal Recueil des Travaux Chimiques des Pays-Bas to form Chemische Berichte/Recueil (CODEN CHBRFW) and Liebigs Annalen/Recueil (CODEN LIARFV).
