Chem Soc Rev now features Altmetrics

10 Dec 2013

We are pleased to announce the inclusion of Altmetrics on Chem Soc Rev.

With a constantly changing publishing landscape and changes to the way people use scientific literature, altmetrics is a measure that can monitor the level of conversation and interest in a particular piece of research at the article level. Thus altmetrics provides an additional modern metric for our authors to measure the impact of their work, rather than rely solely on citations and impact factor.

To view altmetrics on Chem Soc Rev articles, use the Metrics tab as pictured below on the article landing page.

A press release from Altmetrics is available on our website.

What do you think? We are interested to hear your feedback on this new development and how you are utilising these new types of metrics. Please leave your comments below.

Nominate a colleague before 15 December – Deadline approaching for Chem Soc Rev Emerging Investigator Lectureship 2014

09 Dec 2013

This week is your last chance to nominate a colleague for the Chem Soc Rev 2014 Emerging Investigator Lectureship.

Nominate by 15th December 2013

This annual lectureship is given to recognise an emerging scientist who has made a significant contribution to their research field.

Qualifying details

To be eligible for the Chem Soc Rev Emerging Investigator Lectureship, the candidate should have completed their PhD on or after 15^th September 2005.

Award details

The recipient of the lectureship will be asked to present a lecture at an international meeting. The Chem Soc Rev Editorial Office will provide the sum of £1000 to the recipient for travel and accommodation costs. The recipient will be presented with a certificate and will also be asked to contribute a review to the journal.

Nominations

Those wishing to make a nomination should send details of the nominee, including a brief CV together with a letter supporting the nomination, to the Chem Soc Rev Editorial Office by 15^th December 2013.

Please note that self nomination is not permissible.

Following the close of nominations, nominees will be contacted and asked to summarise their key achievements and identify up to 5 of their top independent publications. They will also be asked to highlight the impact of their work and discuss how their research has evolved from their previous supervisor’s.

Selection

The recipient of the lectureship will be selected and endorsed by the Chem Soc Rev Editorial Board.

Previous winners include:

	2013 – Xile Hu from the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland

Mario Pagliaro joins Chem Soc Rev Advisory Board

05 Dec 2013

We warmly welcome Dr Mario Pagliaro (National Research Council (CNR), Italy) as a new member of the Chem Soc Rev Advisory Board.

Mario is a chemistry, solar energy and management scholar who leads a research group whose work focusses on the overlap of organic chemistry and materials science, for which he has been frequently cited. He is the co-founder of Sicily’s Photovoltaics Research Pole. His research interests are in the broad area of nanochemistry, and span from sol-gel materials to biomass valorization and solar energy. He has also had a long-term interest in sustainability and management topics.

His research group works in close partnership with researchers based in 11 countries at the development of new functional materials and chemical processes for a multiplicity of applications, ranging from synthetic organic chemistry to foul release coatings through solar energy and photocatalysis. Their studies have a strong theoretical input and are aimed at producing devices as well as new chemical processes based on the understanding of the relations between structure and activity of materials and reactants involved.

Read more about Mario’s research in his latest Chem Soc Rev article:
