Publishing Price List 2014
09 Aug 2013
We all want great content, and we all want value for money.
At the Royal Society of Chemistry we are proud to be a not-for-profit organisation, dedicated to advancing excellence in the chemical sciences. Any surplus is reinvested back into this community, including sustaining and developing our publishing programme. Our Publishing Price List 2014 reflects this commitment.
Key highlights and changes for 2014:
- Our new partnership with the Chinese Chemical Society (CCS), delivering the first two titles in the new Frontiers journals series: Inorganic Chemistry Frontiers (with the College of Chemistry and Molecular Engineering, Peking University – PKU), and Organic Chemistry Frontiers (with the Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry – SIOC)
- Two further new journals: Materials Horizons and Environmental Science: Nano – both available for free to all existing subscribers or registered users until the end of 2015
- Our acquisition and development of The Merck Index* Online (15th edition), with both perpetual and subscription models available for multiple-users – we are the exclusive provider of what is considered the “bible” of chemistry
- An increase in content for Faraday Discussions (9 issues for 2014, previously 8 issues)
- Continued great savings on collections. RSC Gold equates to a 50% discount on the individual prices of products, and now includes Toxicology Research. Whilst our Core Chemistry and General Chemistry packages now include RSC Advances. We are discontinuing Package A and Package A+
- The new Materials Science Collection. This will include: Journal of Materials Chemistry A, B and C, Energy and Environmental Sciences, Nanoscale, Soft Matter, Polymer Chemistry, Cryst Eng Comm, Biomaterials Science (free in 2014) and Materials Horizons (free in 2014)
- Our annual eBook collections, now available for all years from 2008-2014
- And, in response to customer needs, we are discontinuing Annual Reports on the Progress of Chemistry to reflect a change in the needs of the chemical sciences community. Existing subscribers will not lose access to previous years’ reports

Successful careers event at the University of Nottingham
15 Jul 2013
Students discover that chemistry can take you anywhere
On 2 July, six Royal Society of Chemistry members at the University of Nottingham’s School of Chemistry organised “Chemistry Careers – What’s Next?”. The event showcased the diversity of careers available with a chemistry-related background and attracted over 100 students and research staff.
Speakers and organisers at 'Chemistry Careers - what's next?'
There were speakers from professions including R&D, patent law, publishing, consultancy, teaching, business and marketing. A recruitment consultant described the current job market and plenty of advice was available on how to best find and apply for jobs. A networking session gave delegates the opportunity to talk to all speakers in an informal and relaxed environment.
I gave an overview of my career pathway to date, highlighting roles within the Royal Society of Chemistry graduate scheme, my experience working as an editor and my current role as campaigns manager within marketing.
Commenting of the event, Amy Goddard, Chair of the PhD Forum, said: “The event was a huge success and I have no doubt it will be repeated in future years.”
Here at the Royal Society of Chemistry, we’ve got the support, the resources and connections to benefit chemistry graduates – for life! Find out more about our member benefits and services, including careers advice and professional development.

Environmental Science: Nano now open for submissions!
09 Jul 2013
Providing a voice and a forum for the environmental nanoscience community
Great news: Environmental Science: Nano‘s Editorial Offices are now open!
Associate Editors James Hutchison (University of Oregon) and Gregory Lowry (Carnegie Mellon University) are welcoming submissions of high quality research on the interactions of nanomaterials with biological and environmental systems.
But what’s different about this journal?
Until now there has been no high impact society journal dedicated to publishing the latest findings on the interaction of nanomaterials with environmental and biological systems, which, as Editor-in-Chief Vicki Grassian puts it, ‘is an enormously important aspect of the development of sustainable nanotechnologies for improving human and environmental health’. Find out more about the scope
Why should you submit?
Environmental Science: Nano will be:
- High impact – only publishing the most novel and exciting advances
- A leader – the Editorial Board will drive scientific development, with the Associate Editors responsible for peer review and editorial decisions
- Interdisciplinary – connecting scientists working in a range of areas, including chemistry, earth sciences, engineering, ecotoxicology and nanoscience
- Internationally visible – free access to all content published during 2014 and 2015, guaranteeing maximum exposure
- Rapid – offering the speedy publication and excellent service for which the Royal Society of Chemistry is renowned
And unlike some other journals, Environmental Science: Nano has no page charges or page limits and it won’t charge you for using colour to enhance scientific understanding of your figures.
When should you submit? And how?
As soon as possible! Submit your manuscript via the website for the chance to be included in the high profile first issue.
Open Access from the Royal Society of Chemistry
