The American Chemical Society has announced the forthcoming launch of the Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters. Dr George C. Schatz, Morrison Professor of Chemistry at Northwestern University, will serve as the Editor-in-chief of the journal, the inaugural issue of which is planned for January 2010.
Articles published in this new journal are scientific papers of a limited length, allowing for concise reporting of results that are of immediate interest to the physical chemistry research community.
Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters will complement the ACS' Journal of Physical Chemistry by offering readers a single source for the most urgent research results in all areas of physical chemistry. Available exclusively online, the journal serves the needs of the physical chemistry research community by offering advantages such as more rapid publication of letters; interdisciplinary scope; and new customised Web features and functionality.
