Faraday Discussions are a long-established series of meetings which provide a unique international platform for the exchange of views and newly acquired results in developing areas of physical chemistry, biophysical chemistry and chemical physics.

All the presented papers and the discussion, including new research presented by any delegate, are published together in the Faraday Discussion volume. The latest Impact Factor is 5.0.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is a sister journal to Faraday Discussions. PCCP brings you content of the highest quality in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry.

We invite you to submit your research to PCCP today.
