The Chinese Chemical Society (CCS) has announced the launch of its flagship journal, CCS Chemistry, dedicated to serving the global chemistry community. This is the first journal fully owned and published by CCS. The journal aims to provide chemists with access to a highly-selective collection of transformative global research from all areas of chemistry. Fewer than 200 articles will be published per year. To increase dissemination, visibility, and opportunities for collaboration and growth in the field, the journal will be Diamond Open Access – free to read AND free to publish – with no fees to subscribe or submit. The journal is open for submissions and the inaugural articles are now available online at http://www.chinesechemsoc.org/journal/ccschem.
Prof. Jiannian Yao, President of CCS, and Xi Zhang, President of Jilin University, will serve as the Editor-in-Chief and Executive Editor-in-Chief, respectively, of the new journal. They have assembled an international team of expert researchers to serve as Associate Editors to guide the curation of this high-quality publication. An Editorial Board of well-established and experienced international researchers has also been chosen and reflect the diversity of research community the journal will serve.
In addition to its status as the flagship journal of the CCS, the new journal signals the start of the society’s publishing program, CCS Publishing, with plans to strategically develop titles that will serve the international community and continue its mission to advance the field.
To help ensure the broadest reach and quality online experience, CCS has partnered with Atypon to both design the website via the Atypon Design Studio and host the journal on the state-of-the-art Literatum online publishing platform. CCS has also strategically partnered with other leading publishing providers, including ScholarOne Manuscripts for the journal’s submissions and peer review system, to ensure that authors and readers encounter a familiar and first-class user experience with CCS Publishing.
