Topic modelling aids discoverability

As a journal covering all the chemical sciences, RSC Advances will have a significant volume of published articles from the very first issue. But we appreciate that if you want to read just those articles that are related to your area of expertise, or that are relevant to your current research, it can be time-consuming to find them in amongst the rest of a journal’s content.

The good news is that it will be easy with RSC Advances. This is thanks to sophisticated behind-the-scenes topic modelling, which classifies the content into one or more of twelve main subject areas in the chemical sciences: analytical; biological; catalysis; chemical biology and medicinal; energy; environmental; food; inorganic; materials; nanoscience; organic; and physical.

So, you won’t have to work your way through a long list in the Table of Contents alert to find the most relevant articles – you’ll be able to sign up  for an alert in the subject(s) of your choice. Then each time you receive an alert, you’ll see what has been published in your field.

And you’ll be able to go directly online to whichever subject area is most relevant to you, using the subject tab that will be on the RSC Advances website.

So authors can be sure that their article is readily discoverable by the people who matter, and readers can save time in finding what is important.

Watch out for the very first articles, appearing soon on a screen near you – and for the very latest news, keep an eye on our blog.

Welcome to Professor Suning Wang: new Associate Editor for RSC Advances

RSC Advances is pleased to welcome Professor Suning Wang from Queen’s University, Canada, as the new Associate Editor handling manuscripts on inorganic and materials chemistry.

Professor Suning Wang obtained a Ph.D. degree in Chemistry at Yale University. She did postdoctoral research at Texas A&M University. She was a faculty member in the department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Windsor, Ontario, Canada for 6 years. In 1996, she moved to Queen’s University at Kingston, Ontario, Canada, where she is a professor and a Queen’s University research chair.

Her current research interests concern photophysical/photochemical properties and applications of organic and organometallic luminescent molecules especially those that have an organoboron chromophore and a metal ion. She is a fellow of the Chemical Institute of Canada since 2002. Her research achievements have been recognized by the Royal Society of Canada Rutherford memorial medal in Chemistry (2002) and the Alcan award of the Canadian Society for Chemistry (2007).

Professor Wang’s editorial office in Canada is now open for submission and we would welcome all papers in her areas of expertise as described above. Take this opportunity to submit your work to RSC Advances today!

P.S. RSC Advances is an international journal to further the chemical sciences. All articles published in 2011 and 2012 will be made free to access at NO cost to the authors or readers.
