The UK's Royal Society of Chemistry has announced that its new flagship journal Chemical Science has won the ALPSP Award for Best New Journal. The Association of Learned and Professional Society Publishers (ALPSP) praised Chemical Science for its relevance and quality.
The award is open to any peer-reviewed journal launched in the last 1-3 years. The judges consider the main aspects of the journal including its launch: market research, editorial strategy, marketing and commercial success.
Chemical Science publishes original research articles of exceptional significance from across the chemical sciences. The journal helps to define the important areas by publishing the most significant cutting-edge research. Submissions must appeal to the general chemical science community, or be of exceptional interest to specialist researchers.
Launched last year with a groundbreaking series of three conferences held in three continents over three sequential weeks - the 'International Symposia on Advancing the Chemical Sciences' (ISACS) - Chemical Science has already established itself as the home of truly excellent chemical science research. A further three international conferences were held earlier this year, in Boston, Manchester and Beijing, with planning for the 2012 events well underway.
