The American Chemical Society (ACS) has announced that its journal ACS Catalysis has been awarded the Association of American Publishers' (AAP) prestigious PROSE Award for "Best New Journal in Science, Technology & Medicine." Launched in January 2011, the journal has already had a tremendous impact on both science and the world by fostering and publishing research that is helping to solve urgent global challenges such as the development of sustainable sources of energy and chemicals.
ACS Catalysis responds to the increasing importance of catalysis across all fields of chemistry and the need for stronger collaboration among chemists using different forms of catalysis. The journal has taken the lead in defining the scope of the entire field, enabling researchers to discover common ground and make new discoveries by drawing from the three traditionally distinct disciplines of heterogeneous, homogeneous and enzymatic catalysis.
ACS Catalysis is led by Editor-in-Chief Christopher W. Jones, New-Vision Professor in the School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and Adjunct Professor in the School of Chemistry and Biochemistry, both at Georgia Institute of Technology. Jones is supported by Associate Editors T. Brent Gunnoe, Philippe Sautet, Huimin Zhao and Susannah Scott. The journal is also guided by a global Editorial Advisory Board consisting of 27 men and women.
