Going for Gold with the Royal Society of Chemistry

Our new premium collection of international journals, databases and magazines offering access to all published material is proving to be very popular within the academic community in the UK. Currently 21 universities, including the Universities of Cambridge, Edinburgh, York, Leeds, Warwick and Imperial College London, subscribe to RSC Gold, with several more interested in this comprehensive package.

In an era of carefully balanced budgets, the success of RSC Gold highlights the value placed by institutions on our content.

If a university has an RSC Gold subscription, staff are entitled to receive a 15% discount on the relevant RSC Open Science fee. Authors are offered the option of paying a fee in exchange for making their accepted communication, research paper or review article openly available to all via the web. Of course, RSC Open Science will only be available to authors once their papers have been accepted for publication, following the normal rigorous peer-review procedures.

For more information, read our Press Release.
