RSC Advances’ latest Impact Factor: 3.049

RSC Advances new Impact Factor Royal Society fo Chemistry

RSC Advances is very pleased to announce that our latest Impact Factor has increased to 3.049*, demonstrating our continuting commitment to quality and increased visibility of published work following its transition to gold open access.

As the largest gold open access journal dedicated to the chemical sciences, RSC Advances is here for everyone who wants to publish quality chemistry research and share it with the world.

We are here for everyone who needs access to work in every area of the chemical sciences and related disciplines. And as part of the Royal Society of Chemistry, we are at the heart of open, international research dissemination for the chemistry community.

Great science matters. We make sure the world knows it.

RSC Advances in numbers:

A 5-year impact factor above 3
Submissions from 90+countries in 2018
An average of 30 days from submission to first decision
An acceptance rate of 44%
Associate editors in 30+ countries
10,000+ articles free to access and growing

 

We would like to thank all our authors, readers, reviewers along with our Editorial and Advisory Board members for their continued support.

Find all of the RSC’s newly published 2018 Impact Factors* here.

*The Impact Factor provides an indication of the average number of citations per paper. Produced annually, Impact Factors are calculated by dividing the number of citations in a year, by the number of citeable articles published in the preceding two years. Data based on Journal Citation Reports (Web of Science Group, 2019).

Meet the Editor

Born in Brussels, Thierry Ollevier obtained his B.Sc. and Ph.D. at the Université de Namur, Belgium, and was Postdoctorate Fellow at the Université Catholique de Louvain, Belgium under István E. Markó (1997), NATO Postdoctorate Fellow at Stanford University under Barry M. Trost (1998–2000), then Postdoctorate fellow at the Université de Montréal under André B. Charette (2000–2001).

After being appointed as an Assistant Professor in 2001 at Université Laval, he became an Associate and is currently Full Professor. Current research in his group aims at designing novel catalysts, developing catalytic reactions and applying these methods to chemical synthesis. He is active in the areas of Lewis acids, asymmetric catalysis, and synthetic green chemistry. He has served as an Associate Editor of RSC Advances since 2015 and was admitted as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (2016).

Welcome to our new Associate Editors: Angela Meireles & Amanda Garner

A warm welcome to both Professor M. Angela. A. Meireles and Professor Amanda L. Garner who start as Associate Editors for RSC Advances in June!

Angela Meireles. RSC Advances Associate Editor RSCEmployed for close to 34 years at the University of Campinas (UNICAMP) in São Paulo, Brazil, Professor Meireles completed her PhD in Chemical Engineering at Iowa State University. Starting as an Assistant Professor in the School of Food Engineering in 1983, she has since become a Professor and has supervised 50 PhD dissertations, 30 MSc theses and approximately 72 undergraduate research projects. She has also coordinated scientific exchange projects between UNICAMP and European universities in France, Germany, Holland, and Spain. Angela has served as a Head of Department, as Associate Dean for Undergraduate Studies of Food Engineering and as Associated Director at the Chemical, Biological, and Agricultural Pluridisciplinary Research Center.

Professor Meireles’ expertise helped her serve as the coordinator of Food Science for the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES) between 2014 and 2018. She is a partner and innovative director of Bioativos Naturais, Ltd. and a current invited Professor at the School of Food Engineering at the University of Campinas.

Angela is excited to join the RSC Advances team, saying “I am truly grateful to belong to the Editorial team of this prestigious Open Access Journal: this is the future of scientific publications.”

Amanda L Garner. RSC Advances Associate Editor RSCAmanda Garner received her Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of Pittsburgh working under the supervision of Prof. Kazunori Koide and completed NIH-funded postdoctoral studies in the laboratory of Prof. Kim Janda at The Scripps Research Institute. She began her independent career in 2013 in the Department of Medicinal Chemistry at the University of Michigan.
Her laboratory uses chemical biology, medicinal chemistry and molecular and cellular biology approaches to investigate the high-risk/high-reward areas of targeting microRNAs, RNA-protein and protein-protein interactions for probe and drug discovery.

Amanda looks forward to her new role, saying “I am excited for the opportunity to help RSC Advances in promoting the high-quality and impactful chemical research being performed within the global community.”
