Louise Berben joins Chem Soc Rev as Associate Editor

We warmly welcome Professor Louise Berben (University of California Davis) as a new Associate Editor for Chem Soc Rev

Prof. Berben

Louise Berben is Associate Professor of Chemistry at the University of California Davis where her research program focuses primarily on synthetic and physical inorganic chemistry. Her honours and awards include the Chemical Communications Emerging Investigator Lectureship (2013), Organometallics Young Investigator Fellowship (2014), Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (2014), and Kavli Fellow (2015).

Her research program spans synthetic and physical inorganic chemistry with a primary emphasis on synthesis of new transition metal and main group molecules with unusual electronic structures, which support electron and proton transfer reactions, and the generation and reaction of hydride with small molecules such as CO2 and N2. Recent work includes electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 to formate in neutral water, including thermochemical and kinetic investigations that explain the selectivity of the C-H bond formation event.

Read Professor Berben’s recent articles published in Chem Soc Rev‘s sister journals:

Royal Society of Chemistry and ACS Publications commit to ORCID integration

On 28 November 2016, the Royal Society of Chemistry and the American Chemical Society Publications Division, ACS Publications, both signed the ORCID Open Letter committing to unambiguous identification of all authors that publish in our journals.

The official press release can be found here: http://rsc.li/orcid

In brief, this partnership with ORCID will resolve ambiguity in researcher identification caused by name changes, cultural differences in name presentation, and the inconsistent use of name abbreviations, thereby ensuring their contributions are appropriately recognized and credited.

Chem Soc Rev 2016 Emerging Investigators themed issue – now published

We are pleased to announce that the Chemical Society Reviews 2016 Emerging Investigators themed issue is now available to read online.

This issue highlights the very best work from scientists in the early stages of their independent career.  This issue follows the great success of our 2014 Emerging Investigators Issue, as we have been overwhelmed by the community’s positive response.

This year’s issue includes a broad selection of reviews in various areas of chemistry, from catalysis to nanomedicine, together with materials and theoretical chemistry. Covering a wide geographic diversity – the Americas, Asia, Europe and Oceania – this issue also features our contributors’ profiles, with varied bios and colourful backgrounds including exciting barbecues, thrilling video games, vibrant Queen concerts and unforgettable Playmobils®!

Read our 2016 Emerging Investigators themed issue today
