Moving Highlights

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.

International Symposia on Advancing the Chemical Sciences (ISACS) 2011

After a successful introduction in 2010, the International Symposia on Advancing the Chemical Sciences (ISACS) is set to return in 2011. Continuing its support of the RSC flagship journal Chemical Science, this significant new global symposia series is ambitious in its scale and coverage.

The second three symposia, like ISACS 1-3, will be held on three continents, over three separate weeks and have already attracted support from some of the leading names in the chemical sciences.

– ISACS4: Challenges in Renewable Energy
– ISACS5: Challenges in Chemical Biology
– ISACS6: Challenges in Organic Materials & Supramolecular Chemistry

Professor Tianquan Lian, from Emory University, Atlanta, said about the ISACS2 meeting: “The scientific content of the conference was of the highest quality and the hospitality was just superb. I have already told my colleagues about this wonderful conference and the new journal”.

Each ISACS event will feature a single stream of plenary lectures complemented by oral presentations and extensive poster sessions with plenty of time dedicated to networking. The chance for young researchers to present their work alongside some of the leading and emerging names in the field is an opportunity not to be missed.

    ChemSpider Makes it a Hat-Trick of Awards in 2010

    ChemSpider was awarded the prestigious ALPSP Award for Publishing Innovation 2010 in a shortlist of four. This Award recognises a significantly innovative approach to any aspect of publication. The judges considered the originality and innovative qualities of each application, together with its utility, benefit to its community and long term development prospects.

    The judges said: “ChemSpider has quickly become a highly valued and comprehensive community resource and has immense potential for future development.”

    ChemSpider, which won the iExpo/KM Forum 2010 ‘Most Innovative Software’ award in June on the back of the Bio-IT Best Practice Award for Community Service in April, links together compound information across the web, providing free text and structure search access of millions of chemical structures. With an abundance of additional property information, tools to curate and use the data, and integration to a multitude of other online services, ChemSpider is the richest single source of structure-based chemistry information available online.

    In the pink in Boston

    It might have rained almost continuously during the ACS Fall 2010 National Meeting in Boston, but it didn’t dampen the enthusiasm of the 14,000+ people there for the event. Of those who visited the Exhibition Hall, not many could have failed to notice the striking pink colour theme on the RSC booth.

    Delegates browsed the books and journals on display, celebrated new journal Chemical Science and the other latest product launches, and learned how the RSC is committed to investing in the advancement of the chemical sciences. 30 journals, from across the chemical sciences, revealed opportunities for international scientists to read or publish the latest research. Visitors also learned about the benefits of registering for a personal account on the new e-platform, including: free access to new journals; the ability to save searches and create custom alerting; and much more. Don’t miss out – sign up for your personal account today!

    The competition to win an Apple iPad proved very popular: the winner, selected at random from the correct entries, was Professor Ekkehard Sinn from Western Michigan University, USA.

    The correct answers revealed that:

    • In 2009, RSC donated more than 53 million dollars to charitable activities and programmes to advance the chemical sciences
    • 90% of RSC journals have an Impact Factor greater than 3
    • 65 scientists will receive RSC Prizes and Awards in 2010
    • RSC members come from more than 70 countries

    So, goodbye to Boston – and we look forward to meeting you in Anaheim for the ACS Spring 2011 National Meeting. Can we request some Californian sunshine?
