RSC Publishing Blog

The free RSC Publishing supplements Highlights in Chemical Science, Highlights in Chemical Biology and Highlights in Chemical Technology are moving.

From January 2011, all online news articles will be published on the Chemistry World news page. They will still be free for everyone to access. Plus, a selection of the content will be published in print as part of the Research section of Chemistry World. The original RSC Publishing research, on which the articles are based, will be free for a limited time.

Issue 12, 2010, will be the final issue of each of the three supplements. All published issues will be freely accessible from the RSC website.

Originally launched back in 2004 to provide a news service drawing together coverage from all RSC publications, the supplements have provided a vehicle for wider promotion of the most cutting-edge science published in RSC journals.

By moving to Chemistry World, articles will have the opportunity to reach even wider audiences.

Make sure you keep in touch with the latest RSC Publishing research news by following us on Twitter (ChemWorldSci, ChemWorldBio or ChemWorldTech) or by signing up for the Chemistry World daily, weekly or monthly alert.
