ChemComm is publishing its 60th volume in 2024. Over the past 60 years, ChemComm has been the RSC’s most cited journal, and one of the most trusted venues for rapid publication of short communications. In our anniversary year, we recognise the important contributions ChemComm has made, and continues to make, in advancing the chemical sciences.
As part of our anniversary celebrations, we’ve brought together a collection featuring the latest research from some of our most loyal and dedicated authors. From those marking the beginning of their independent academic career by publishing their first article with us, to the rising stars and established leaders publishing in our yearly ‘Emerging Investigators’ and ‘Pioneering Investigators’ collections, this collection champions the contributions of our worldwide author community. We are proud many authors choose to support our journal by regularly publishing their best work with us. This collection also features papers from our ChemComm Emerging Investigator Lectureship winners, and our Outstanding Reviewer awardees, whose invaluable feedback has shaped our published content through the years.
To accompany the collection, we’ll be publishing interviews with contributing authors where they provide further insight into their research and reflect on their journey with ChemComm.

What is your favourite thing about ChemComm?
Firstly, I would like to congratulate ChemCommun on its 60th anniversary. It is also a great honour to share our progress on this special occasion. ChemCommun is an excellent community for chemists to share their interesting research findings. I have been publishing research papers in ChemCommun for 10 years, with my first article appearing in 2015. The reasons I chose ChemCommun, or its advantages compared to other journals, include its concise layout, rapid review process, and quick publication speed. This not only provides a great submission experience but also allows everyone to access the information they need in a short time, which is particularly important in today’s fast-paced society. I wish ChemCommun continued success in the future!
