Over the past week or two we’ve been writing the editorials for Chemical Science, ChemComm and Chem Soc Rev issue 1s, 2011. It seems strange to be wishing people a Happy New Year in October but the issues will be sent to the printers next month so we need to plan in advance. It has been great to reflect on all the success of 2010 – we’ve launched a new journal, published more articles than ever before…but I’ll stop there before I give too much away. All will be revealed in issue 1.
We’ve also been planning our conference attendance for next year. There are so many great events to choose from so it has been really difficult to narrow them down to a manageable and affordable number. We’ll of course be at the ISACS meetings in July and September but if you have any suggestions of where else we should be, please do let us know.
Particularly exciting during the past month has been a short Chemical Science information film we’ve been working on with Anne from the RSC communications team. Thankfully I was behind the scenes only but Robert (the Editor) gave a stellar performance on camera – Anne described him as “a natural”. The film will be screened at the RSC general assembly in November.
Please keep sending us your feedback and suggestions for Chemical Science, ChemComm and Chem Soc Rev. You can leave comments below or email me.
