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.
Check out our interview with Dr Ningning Lv (Wenzhou University, China) below!

Ningning Lv was born in Zhejiang, China in 1994. She received a Ph.D. degree from Zhejiang University under the supervision of Prof. Yuhong Zhang in June 2020. Then she joined the College of Chemistry and Materials Engineering, Wenzhou University at July 2020. Her current research interest focus on low-cost transition-metal-catalyzed functionalization of unsaturated hydrocarbons, cross-dehydrogenative coupling and the transformation of nitriles. |
What is your favourite thing about ChemComm?
My favorite thing about ChemComm is the convenient submission process.
In what ways do you think ChemComm stands out among other journals in your field?
I think the high efficiency of the peer review cycle and the quality of the articles make ChemComm stand out among other journals.
How would you describe the peer review process and interaction with the editorial team at ChemComm?
The peer review process and interaction with the editorial team are very convenient.
Are there ways in which the journal can further support and engage with future generations of scientists?
I appreciate that ChemComm provides opportunities for a young researcher to publish their work on ChemComm. I am honored to have the chance to publish our recent work on the 60th-anniversary collection of ChemComm.
Could you provide a brief summary of your recent ChemComm publication?
My recent work on ChemComm is about Cu-mediated C(sp3)-C(sp3) coupling/cyclization sequences of unactivated ketones and acylhydrazones for the expeditious construction of 3,4,6-trisubstituted and 3,5-disubstituted pyridazines.
