Deputy Editor Sarah Rainford visited RSC Advances Editorial Board members Prof. Qingdong Zheng and Prof. Leyong Wang at Nanjing University in June.
Sarah Rainford gave a lecture on “How to Publish with Impact – an Editor’s guide to peer review” at the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering (Nanjing University) and the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering (Southeast University). She gave a report on her work in journal publication in recent years and discussed the Open Access future of the Royal Society of Chemistry. In the discussion session, teachers and students actively asked questions and had a lively exchange and discussion on all things related to publishing. Sarah also visited Prof. Yitao Long, Associate Editor for Chemical Science, and Prof. Li-Min Zheng, Associate Editor for Dalton Transactions.
Sarah would like to thank her wonderful hosts at Nanjing University and Southeast University for their terrific hospitality!

RSC Advances is delighted to announce innovations in responsive switchable magnetic materials, a new themed collection.
This collection is Guest Edited by Irina Kühne (Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences FZU, Czech Republic), Yann Garcia (Université catholique de Louvain UCLouvain, Belgium), Patrick Rosa (Institute of Condensed Matter Chemistry of Bordeaux CNRS, France) and Paulo Nuno Martinho (Universidade de Lisboa Campo Grande, Portugal).
This themed collection in RSC Advances aims to develop our current knowledge of responsive switchable magnetic materials, offering opportunities for the development of technologies.
Spin crossover (SCO) compounds are a unique class of materials characterised by their ability to switch between two spin states, low-spin and high-spin. This switching occurs in response to external stimuli, such as temperature, pressure, magnetic and electric fields, or light. The transition is often accompanied by dramatic changes in the physical properties of the material, making SCO compounds highly desirable for applications in sensors, data storage, and smart materials. The study of SCO materials is at the forefront of materials science, offering opportunities for the development of responsive and adaptive technologies.
Current challenges in the field of SCO materials include achieving precise control over the SCO phenomenon and developing scalable synthetic methods for SCO compounds. Opportunities lie in the integration of SCO materials into nanotechnology and electronics, exploring new stimuli-responsive mechanisms, and using their unique properties for applications in smart devices, data storage, and sensing technologies. Advances in computational studies also offer opportunities to predict and design materials with well-defined properties.
Research topics of interest:
• Synthesis and characterisation of responsive switchable magnetic materials.
• Studies on the mechanisms of responsiveness and switching behaviour at the molecular or material level.
• Development and optimisation of fabrication techniques for scalable production.
• Integration of responsive magnetic materials into devices and systems.
• Theoretical and computational studies to predict and optimise the behaviour of switchable magnetic materials.
• Review articles that summarise recent advances, challenges, and future directions in the field.
We welcome your submission to the series.
