Catalysis Impact-factor

As per available reports about 257 journals, 180 Conferences, 85 workshops are presently dedicated exclusively to Catalysis and about 198000 articles are being published on the current trends in Catalysis. In terms of research annually, USA, India, Japan, Brazil and Canada are some of the leading countries where maximum studies related to Catalysis are being carried out. As reported in Wikipedia article, Catalysis is the increase in the rate of a chemical reaction of one or more reactants due to the participation of an additional substance called a catalyst. Unlike other reagents in the chemical reaction, a catalyst is not consumed by the reaction. With a catalyst, less free energy is required to reach the transition state, but the total free energy from reactants to products does not change. A catalyst may participate in multiple chemical transformations. The effect of a catalyst may vary due to the presence of other substances known as inhibitors or poisons (which reduce the catalytic activity) or promoters (which increase the activity). The opposite of a catalyst, a substance that reduces the rate of a reaction, is an inhibitor.
