Royal Society of Chemistry Symposium at the University of Edinburgh

30 Oct 2013

Thank you to everyone who attended the Royal Society of Chemistry Symposium at the University of Edinburgh on 28th October.

After escaping the storms in the south of England, our team were ‘blown away’ by the warm welcome we received in Edinburgh.

We presented sessions on publishing, careers, education and communication and had some great discussions with students and staff, on topics ranging from open access publishing to working at the Royal Society of Chemistry and joining as a member.

We’d like to say a massive thank you to RSC education coordinator Margaret Ritchie for her enthusiasm and help both on the day and in the run up to the symposium.

Did you find the event useful? Please contact us with your feedback or leave your comments below.

Find out which other universities we’ll be visiting in the coming months on our website.

Altmetrics added to Royal Society of Chemistry journals

12 Sep 2013

We are pleased to announce the inclusion of Altmetrics on 5 Royal Society of Chemistry journals.

Energy and Environmental Science
Dalton Transactions
Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics
Chemical Society Reviews
Lab on a Chip

With a constantly changing publishing landscape and changes to the way people use scientific literature, altmetrics is a measure that can monitor the level of conversation and interest in a particular piece of research at the article level. Thus altmetrics provides an additional modern metric for our authors to measure the impact of their work, rather than rely solely on citations and impact factor.

To view the altmetrics on articles within these journals, from the article landing page use the Metrics tab as pictured below.

A press release from Altmetrics is available on our website.

We are interested to hear your feedback on this new development and how you are utilising these new types of metrics. Please leave your comments below.
