2012 has been an exciting year for ChemComm as we faced the challenge of becoming the first chemistry journal to publish 100 issues in a year. This move was made in response to the increasing number of submissions and having published over 3000 articles for the 2nd year in succession, ChemComm is now recognised as the largest international publisher of high quality communications within general chemistry.
After much hard work and dedication, the 100th issue of the year has just been published online and I wanted to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has made this possible.
In particular, thanks have to be paid to our Editorial and Advisory Boards for their continued input and support, to our Associate Editors around the world, our Editorial Staff within the RSC and of course our loyal authors, readers and dedicated referees, without which this achievement would simply not have been possible.
Despite moving to 100 issues, we are still maintaining the service and quality that our authors and readers have come to expect. Our times to publication are still around 50 days and our most recent Impact Factor has once again increased to 6.169 (from 5.787 last year). We will continue to be what we always have been; the home of urgent high quality communications from across the chemical sciences.
Thanks again for everything in 2012 and here’s to doing it all again in 2013!
Dr Robert Eagling,
Editor, Chemical Communications
