This article is a review articles on three levels of chemical representation until 2020. The method used in this research is document analysis. We obtained 72 articles published within 11 years (therefore, 2009-2020) that discussed the level of chemical representation. The results obtained were 50.67% of researchers using the term macroscopic, submicroscopic, and symbolic levels which were different from the original ideas of Johnstone. In addition, we found 15 new terms for 3 levels of chemical representation. Furthermore, the scope of macroscopic, submicroscopic, and symbolic levels becomes richer and broader.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
