Chemical Science chemical biology symposium – the highlights

On 6th November 2013, the Department of Chemistry at the University of Warwick hosted a Chemical-Science sponsored symposium on Chemical Biology. The symposium was convened to celebrate several prizes and awards from the RSC Chemistry Biology Interface Division. There were over 130 attendees from industry and many different UK Universities, including a healthy number of local attendees from Warwick.

The first talk of the day was from Prof. Richard Silverman, winner of the RSC Centenary Prize medal, who got things off to a great start and some excellent discussion/questions from the audience. Prof Thomas Carell (Chemical Science invited speaker) and Prof Gregory Challis (from the home team) completed an excellent first session. After a quick break, we had talks from Prof Benjamin Davis (President of RSC Chemistry Biology Interface Division and Chemical Science Associate Editor) and last but not least, Prof Rein Ulijn gave his Norman Heatley Award lecture.

It is also important to thank the Warwick Centre for Analytical Science for sponsoring lunch and the student helpers who helped make this a great event. It goes without saying that the speakers enjoyed a well-earned dinner in the evening to celebrate the awards!

Chemical Science = high impact

We want our authors’ research to get the recognition it deserves: Publishing in Chemical Science means your article will have excellent visibility and impact.

Graph 1 below shows the number of citations to articles published so far in 2013 in Chemical Science and other similar general chemistry journals – showing that articles in Chemical Science are read and cited quickly.

This is also reflected in Chemical Science‘s high Impact Factor (8.3) and Immediacy Index (2.7) – see how this compares to JACS and Angewandte Chemie in graph 2 below.*

Chemical Science Citations

Graph 1: Citations to articles published in January to June 2013 (Data downloaded from ISI Web of Science on 16 August 2013)

Immediacy Index

Graph 2: Immediacy Index

*Figures from the 2012 Journal Citation Report © 2013 Thomson Reuters. The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published and indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited.
