Introducing RSC Mechanochemistry

Where did the idea for RSC Mechanochemistry come from?

We decided to create RSC Mechanochemistry after top researchers from our community approached us directly with a new, innovative journal proposal.

 

Meet our Editors-in-Chief

James Batteas

Texas A&M University

Tomislav Friščić

University of Birmingham

 

The idea behind RSC Mechanochemistry is compelling. This journal will be a platform for scientists to examine all aspects of mechanochemistry, from the fundamentals to applied work in many disciplines.

 

Find out more on the journal webpage.

 

Until now, there has been no dedicated mechanochemistry journal. The launch of RSC Mechanochemistry changes this.

 

We will be sharing more news soon, including details on our editorial board and scope. Sign up for email alerts to stay updated.

RSC Applied Interfaces is an interdisciplinary home for articles on applied interfacial and surface research. While RSC Applied Polymers offers a dedicated platform for work on the application of natural and synthetic polymers. These two new titles complement our current portfolio, which includes journals on materials and polymer research. We want to give you more options to discover and publish innovative articles across the spectrum of interfacial and polymer science. Both of these journals are gold open access, and we will be covering all article processing charges until mid-2025.

Announcing three new journals: EES Catalysis, RSC Sustainability and Sustainable Food Technology

Committed to sustainability, created for you.

The Royal Society of Chemistry is committed to supporting the chemical science community in solving global sustainability challenges. As a signatory of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Publishers Compact, we are dedicated to helping achieve the UN’s SDG goals by 2023 as well as helping you and your discoveries make the world a better place. Therefore, as part of our ongoing commitment to addressing global challenges, we are announcing three new Gold Open Access journals, each with a sustainability focus.

 

EES Catalysis publishes high quality research on energy and environmental catalysis, and delivers the same impact and influence that researchers associate with our Energy & Environmental Science brand. As a multidisciplinary platform, it will cover catalysis across chemistry, materials science, engineering and beyond. Find out more and sign up to e-Alerts here.

 

RSC Sustainability welcomes research from all subject areas that are dedicated to solving sustainability challenges for a better, greener future. It also complements the Royal Society of Chemistry’s premier sustainability journal, Green Chemistry. Find out more and sign up to e-Alerts here.

 

Sustainable Food Technology, a companion journal to Food & Function, publishes high quality sustainable research on food engineering and technologies. Key topics include food preservation methods, shelf life and the creation of greener packaging. Find out more and sign up to e-Alerts here.

 

Dr Emma Wilson, Royal Society of Chemistry Director of Publishing, said: “While the scale and seriousness of these many sustainability challenges is undoubtedly urgent, we know that scientists from around the globe are already working on innovative, ground-breaking solutions, working together and sharing ideas. I’m enthusiastic about our Royal Society of Chemistry journals taking this important step to enable them to further their work.”
Professor Tom Welton, President of the Royal Society of Chemistry, said: “As a global society we are facing urgent and pressing challenges, from rising sea levels to impacts on food production. There is increasing pressure on scarce resources such as the precious elements required for medicine, technology, and sustainable energy, and we’re facing unprecedented levels of pollution in the natural environment and in our air. That’s why I’m proud that the Royal Society of Chemistry is leading the way by expanding their sustainability journals portfolio with these three new journals – providing a home for even more cutting-edge research to help tackle the urgent issues facing us all.”

All three new journals will be Gold Open Access from launch, offering readers no barriers to reading the published work, ensuring research can reach a global readership. Additionally, all article processing charges (APCs) are waived until-2025. All journals will open for submissions in summer 2022.
