The Frontiers journals aim to publish the very best research from China, Asia and the rest of the world to an international audience. This collaboration celebrates a new phase in scientific growth, and will provide researchers with unparalleled opportunities for global visibility and international collaboration.

An integral part of the development of each journal is collaboration with a top Chinese institute in the relevant field. These partner institutes will bring prestige and scientific knowledge to the enterprise. The first two journals and their partner institutes are: 

• Inorganic Chemistry Frontiers, College of Chemistry and Molecular Engineering, Peking University (PKU)
• Organic Chemistry Frontiers, Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry (SIOC)

Each Frontiers journal will be jointly owned by CCS, RSC and the relevant partner institute, with each owner bringing their expertise to the project.

The two journals will publish their first issues in 2014. Other journals from core chemistry areas will follow in the coming months and years. Ultimately the aim is for the Frontiers portfolio to become a leading international journal series for the chemical sciences community.

You can find out more about this initiative, and the partner organisations, from our Press Release and via our website.

                  

That’s why we’re delighted to be involved in Research4Life, which helps us disseminate our high quality journal articles to researchers in developing countries.

Research4Life is the collective name given to a series of public-private partnerships that offer health, agriculture and environmental research for free or at low cost to developing countries.

Around 6000 institutions are registered for access to publications through Research4Life. Partly thanks to this improved access, scientific research output from developing countries has increased dramatically in recent years.

That’s great news, not just for those developing countries but for the entire science community.

Chemistry – it makes a world of difference.

Unfortunately only one of you can take home the Kindle Fire, but I hope all booth visitors enjoyed finding out more about Gold for Gold and what we are doing about Open Access, as well as seeing the UK  launch of The Merck Index* Online.

Back to the business of the Kindle Fire, I am delighted to announce that the winner of our Buzzwire Competition (involving 45 steady-handed librarians), in a staggering time of 17 Seconds, was Claire Gravely, Information Resources Advisor, University of Surrey.

Editors Liz Dunn and Sam Keltie were on hand to answer questions and tell people about our top journals and books, including Biomaterials Science, Energy & Environmental Science and Journals of Materials Chemistry A, B and C.  

There was lots of excitement around the launch of new journal Materials Horizons. It’s now open for submissions, welcoming the very best research at the cutting-edge interface of materials science with chemistry, physics, biology and engineering.

But what will this journal bring to the materials community? Find out from Editorial Board Chair Seth Marder in this short video.

We’ll be in Boston for the 2013 MRS Fall Meeting and Exhibit in December. We hope to see you then!

                  

We are delighted to be exhibiting at the ACS Spring Meeting in New Orleans, and we’d love to see you there.

Look no further: Materials Horizons is now open for submissions!

Materials Horizons will be:

• High impact – publishing only the most novel and exciting advances
• A leader – the Editorial Board, led by Seth Marder (Georgia Institute of Technology, USA), will drive scientific development, with Scientific Editors helping to maintain scientific standards
• Interdisciplinary – showcasing the best research at the cutting-edge interface of materials science with chemistry, physics, biology and engineering
• Internationally visible – free access to all content published during 2014 and 2015, guaranteeing maximum exposure
• Rapid – speedy reviewing and publication

And unlike some other journals, Materials Horizons won’t charge you for using colour to enhance the scientific understanding of your figures.

So don’t delay – submit your manuscripts via our website for the chance to be included in the high profile first issue.

                  

Drop by RSC Publishing booth #602 to find materials that matter. 

If you’ve seen us before at the Fall MRS meeting, you’ll know we publish a diverse range of books and journals covering the breadth of materials science – from the synthesis of materials through to an assortment of applications.

At this meeting, we’re celebrating the launch of our new title, Materials Horizons. The journal will publish first reports of exceptional significance at the cutting-edge interface of materials science with chemistry, physics, biology and engineering – and the great news is that all the content will be free to access until the end of 2015. It opens for submissions on 2 April 2013 – find out more at the booth.

Of course, we’ll have our other top titles on display, including Biomaterials Science, Journal of Materials Chemistry A, B and C and the flagship general chemistry journal, Chemical Science. 

You can enjoy a conference discount of 30% (or 35% if you’re an RSC member) on all RSC books on display at our booth, including Janus Particle Synthesis, Self-assembly and Applications from our Smart Materials book series and our popular science title, Science of Chocolate. 

So to find out more about cutting-edge research, top quality reference works or the best place to publish – make sure you visit booth #602.
