It was great to meet old friends and new at the RSC Publishing booth at the 2012 MRS Fall Meeting in Boston last week. 

After the positive feedback we received last year, we opted for another environmentally friendly cardboard booth. We had a range of top titles on display, including Energy & Environmental Science, Nanoscale and our new journal Biomaterials Science.

Lots of visitors were keen to learn more about Journal of Materials Chemistry, which, in 2013, continues as three journals: Journal of Materials Chemistry A, B and C. 

And, as always, our books proved popular, in particular our new Smart Materials book series and Chocolate as Medicine.

RSC Publishing activities have evolved over recent years in response to the needs of the increasingly interdisciplinary community of materials scientists. This year is particularly significant as we have some brand new publications to showcase will be of real interest to you.

Our new journal, Biomaterials Science launches in January and will have free access for the first two years. The highly regarded Journal of Materials Chemistry is expanding and becoming three separate journals. And we launch the new RSC Smart Materials book series with the publication of the first book in the series – Janus Particle Synthesis, Self-Assembly and Applications. 

Staff on the stand will include our editors who will be delighted to meet you, and explain why RSC Publishing makes a good home for your materials science research. In attendance will be Liz Dunn, Managing Editor of Journal of Materials Chemistry, Soft Matter, Biomaterials Science and Polymer Chemistry; Philip Earis, Managing Editor of Energy & Environmental Science, Nanoscale and PCCP; and Merlin Fox and Leanne Marle, both Commissioning Editors, Books.
