The Publications Division of the American Chemical Society (ACS) has announced a concerted expansion of its applied materials portfolio of peer-reviewed journals.
The publishing initiative begins immediately with the addition of ACS Applied Energy Materials and ACS Applied Nano Materials to the Society's portfolio. The two new journals, and others planned to follow, are positioned within the editorial purview of the Society's highly successful journal, ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, which has been enthusiastically embraced by authors and readers worldwide since its inception in 2009. Deputy editors will lead the editorial direction of each journal, supported by distinguished and diverse Editorial Advisory Boards.
Kirk Schanze, editor-in-chief of ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, will also oversee the respective editorial teams to be assembled for both ACS Applied Energy Materials and ACS Applied Nano Materials.
Both ACS Applied Energy Materials and ACS Applied Nano Materials will begin accepting submissions for consideration as of October 2017. The first online issues will appear in early 2018 and will include original research articles and letters, reviews and other editorial features. ACS Applied Energy Materials will publish broadly in the area of materials for energy generation, storage, conversion and sustainability, with a focus on research that reports novel applications of materials and devices. ACS Applied Nano Materials will publish research of an applied nature on functional nanostructured materials, including the design, synthesis or fabrication, characterisation and properties of the materials.
Researchers who publish in these new ACS journals will benefit from a range of peer-review and author services offered by ACS Publications, including Manuscript Transfer - which enables the seamless rapid transfer of an author's submission from one ACS journal to another, and will thus facilitate the transfer of submissions from ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces to these journals where appropriate, without requiring the author to start the submission process anew. As with all ACS journals, ACS Applied Energy Materials and ACS Applied Nano Materials will also offer authors a range of flexible open access publishing and licensing options.
