What a year Catalysis Science & Technology has had, Volume 1 contains no less than 9 Issues and 1696 pages! It has been a fantastic launch for the journal as we see our first Christmas since publishing Issue 1 in April and things are looking very bright for 2012. We saw our first themed issue ‘Heterogeneous catalysis for fine chemicals’ with Guest Editors Mario Pagliaro and Graham Hutchings and we have blogged about 47 ‘Hot Articles’ throughout the year.
We have published original research papers, communications, Minireviews and Perspectives across the breadth of the field, including homogeneous catalysis, heterogeneous catalysis, biocatalysis and catalysis in technology. It is the season of festivities which can occasionally lead to over-indulgence, so remember, if you need to take an afternoon off to relax and digest, all articles in Catalysis Science & Technology are free to access for the duration of 2011 and 2012!
