Biomaterials Science won’t publish its first articles until later in the year. We’re very excited about the journal launch (we hope you are too!), and we’re looking forward to seeing the first articles online. But until then we’ll be highlighting a few other things that we hope the community will find interesting. Here’s a collection of books on biomaterials and related topics published by RSC Publishing. The first chapter 1 of each eBook is available for free. I hope you enjoy reading them.

Renewable Resources for Functional Polymers and Biomaterials
Peter A Williams (Editor)

Stem Cell-Based Tissue Repair
Raphael Gorodetsky (Editor), Richard Schäfer (Editor)

A Handbook of Applied Biopolymer Technology: Synthesis, Degradation and Applications

Do you want your next paper to be read all over the world?

23 Mar 2012

By Russell Johnson, Development Editor.

Hopefully you’ve seen our previous announcements, but if you missed them RSC Publishing and the Institute for Integrated Cell-Material Sciences, Kyoto University, Japan are launching a new journal – Biomaterials Science. This will be an international, high impact journal bringing together the molecular and mesoscopic interactions of biomaterials and their applications.

Articles in Biomaterials Science will be free to access* until the end of 2014 which means they will reach the widest possible audience. We invite you to support Biomaterials Science and not-for-profit publishing by submitting your next article: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/bmsci

If you’re wondering what the journal will cover you can read About Biomaterials Science here, but briefly Biomaterials Science has a broad scope that covers the fundamental science of biomaterials through to their biomedical applications. We’ll be highlighting different areas of the scope over the next few months but to start off with…

Mesoscopic science of cells and materials

Biomaterials Science will publish articles covering fundamental and applied research on Mesoscopic science of cells and materials. To celebrate this we’ve made a few articles published in RSC journals free to access for 4 weeks. I hope you enjoy reading them.

Highlight: Scaling concepts in cell physics: paradigms for cell adhesion: Hélène Delanoë-Ayari, Julien Brevier and Daniel Riveline, Soft Matter, 2011, 7, 824-829.
Critical Review: Controlled polymer synthesis—from biomimicry towards synthetic biology: George Pasparakis, Natalio Krasnogor , Leroy Cronin , Benjamin G. Davis and Cameron Alexander, Chem. Soc. Rev., 2010, 39, 286-300.
Paper: Hierarchical coarse-graining strategy for protein-membrane systems to access mesoscopic scales: Gary S. Ayton, Edward Lyman and Gregory A. Voth, Faraday Discuss., 2010, 144, 347-357.
Review: Multiscale simulation of soft matter systems – from the atomistic to the coarse-grained level and back: Christine Peter and Kurt Kremer, Soft Matter, 2009, 5, 4357-4366.
Communication: Mesoscopic organic nanosheets peeled from stacked 2D covalent frameworks: Yugen Zhang , Meixuan Tan , Hai Li , Yuangang Zheng , Shujun Gao , Hua Zhang and Jackie Y. Ying, Chem. Commun., 2011, 47, 7365-7367.

Don’t forget Biomaterials Science is now accepting submissions. Please don’t hesitate to contact the editorial office if you have any questions. We look forward to receiving your work.

*Individuals can access the content by signing up for an RSC Publishing Personal Account. Existing institutional RSC journal subscribers, with registered IP, have automatic access. Other institutions can register for free access.

So what else does the RSC do?

13 Mar 2012

By Russell Johnson, Development Editor.

Biomaterials Science is owned by the Royal Society of Chemistry which (amongst other activities) is a not-for-profit society publisher. Any surplus from our publishing division is used to support the global scientific community. If you’re not familiar with the RSC here’s a quick recap of just a few of the things the society does. I hope you’ll find them interesting.

Support a wide range of science activities. Including: Policy reports and responses, Prizes & Awards, Public Activities, Industry and Technology, Our Work in Parliament
Organise conferences and events
Support our membership
Support education in the chemical sciences
Publish journals, magazines, books, databases

Hopefully this has given you a flavour of some of the things the RSC is involved in. If you’re interested to know more you can read about the full range of activities on our website.

We hope you’ll support Biomaterials Science and non-for-profit publishing by submitting your next article to the journal:
