We are delighted to announce a special collection designed to feature members of our community who are just starting out as principal investigators.
Did you start your position as a new group leader within the last three years?*
We know it can be tough setting up a new lab, training students for the first time, teaching undergraduates, as well as growing your own profile in the community.
We want to help. If you submit to this collection, and if your paper is accepted, we will offer extra promotion and visibility through our journal networks to raise your profile with an interview-style blog discussing your vision for your group’s research.
This collection will be hosted by the Advances family of journals at the Royal Society of Chemistry, which publish interdisciplinary, robust, quality science. As Gold Open Access journals, the Advances family means maximum visibility for your work, to both subject specialists and a general audience.
Submit any time during the eligible period. Articles will be promoted and added to an online collection as soon as they are accepted.
Choose one of our Advances journals below** and quote “New Principal Investigator Collection” in the submission form when it asks you if you are contributing to a themed collection.
