RSC Publishing Platform reaches the one million milestone

14 Jan 2011

The one millionth paper Controlled assembly of plasmonic colloidal nanoparticle clusters by José M. Romo-Herrera, Ramón A. Alvarez-Puebla and Luis M. Liz-Marzán.

This seven figure milestone was reached as the RSC’s exceptional range of peer-reviewed journals, magazines, books, databases and publishing services to the chemical science community more than doubled in output in the last three years.

Royal Society of Chemistry editorial director James Milne said: “Today marks a significant landmark for the RSC Publishing Platform. Delivering the millionth record, a paper published in the RSC journal Nanoscale, demonstrates not only the significance of the RSC in terms of disseminating high-quality research content worldwide but also with many millions of article downloads each year, the value researchers place on being able to access this content through our new publishing platform.” In the last four years RSC Publishing has gone from being the fifth largest publisher in chemistry to challenging Wiley in third place.

“This incredible growth, including launching 10 new journals and more than doubling the number of high impact papers published, seems set to continue into 2011,” added James. “In addition to growing in scale, the quality of the RSC Portfolio remains at the top of the field. More than 90% of the RSC’s 30 journals have an impact factor over 3.0 – a feat no other publisher can match. This high quality portfolio is attracting more and more submissions from a truly international research community, all supported by a highly qualified editorial team providing exceptional customer service to the journal authors. Similar developments are taking place with the book’s portfolio with a record 85 books published last year alone, most also available as ebooks.”

The new platform, providing powerful, fast access to journals, books and databases from RSC Publishing, provides access to more than one million articles, papers and database records using one simple interface where results are refined through intuitive filters.

Professor Luis M. Liz-Marzan, from the University of Vigo in Spain and lead author of the one millionth paper, said he was delighted with the achievement and explained why he chooses RSC publishing to promote his work: “I publish in RSC journals because they guarantee high quality standards and widespread readership. I am delighted that one of my papers has become RSC’s millionth paper.”

New RSC Publishing platform launched today

27 Jul 2010

Today saw the launch of the new RSC Publishing platform which provides access to nearly one million journal articles and book chapters through one simple, integrated search.

So how will the new platform benefit you?

Save time by searching across all RSC-hosted journal, book and database content using one simple search
Discover new research as the platform will automatically include related articles
Find the right content fast through filtered searching which allows you faster access to relevant information by displaying authors and RSC publications that have published related work
Share & recommend research with tools such as Facebook, Twitter and Google
Register and create a personalised account which allows you to store searches and receive search results as alerts

Project Manager and Electronic Publisher Graham McCann explains the processes and project priorities: “We created the new platform in consultation with the international scientific and librarian community by running a beta version alongside the existing RSC Publishing website. Everybody had the chance to actively contribute by submitting their feedback and ideas.”

Here are some user comments we received during the beta testing:

“I really like the ability to do a search by specific month. I also like the filters, in particular the possibility to specify a journal.”

“It looks pretty slick for accessing the eBooks. I especially like the variety of “Browse by” features (series, subject, year, new) and the related books & article links. The same author feature is fun since it lets you easily move between the author’s monograph and journal literature.”

“This is an excellent move. The interaction platform allows the viewer to have access to more information on a particular article and hence save time and it has fewer steps.”

“I really appreciate the Citation download link. Clean look to the site, non-cluttered. Excellent.”

We’d like to encourage everybody to visit the platform and try it out for themselves.
RSC Publishing Platform: search faster • navigate smarter • connect more

2009 Impact Factors – RSC rise continues

21 Jun 2010

It’s quality that really matters at RSC Publishing. And the recently published 2009 Journal Citation Reports ® prove that our quality is better than ever. Our average impact factor (IF) has risen from 4.9 to 5.4. It’s an impressive figure, especially when compared with the average for a chemistry journal* of 2.4.

But we don’t rely on just one or two titles to boost our average. It’s our entire collection that counts.
