The University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) and the Publications Division of the American Chemical Society (ACS) have announced an inaugural publishing collaboration with Precision Chemistry, a new journal that will publish research of interest to the global scientific community. The organizations held a virtual ceremony to mark their collaboration on August 2, during which the agreement was signed. The journal is an exciting step that will strengthen the relationship between ACS and the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
In May 2022, USTC and ACS jointly held a one-day precision-chemistry-themed virtual forum as a warmup for the journal launch. The event, which featured plenary talks from eminent speakers from the US, Europe and China, attracted more than 125,000 views.
Precision Chemistry will provide a unique and highly visible publishing venue for fundamental, applied and interdisciplinary research that aims to achieve precision calculation, design, synthesis, manipulation, measurement and manufacturing. USTC and ACS are committed to bringing together researchers from across the chemical sciences and related scientific areas to showcase original research and critical reviews of exceptional quality, significance and interest to the broad chemistry and scientific community. The journal will publish original, peer-reviewed research in the form of articles, reviews, perspectives, letters and diverse editorial materials.
The journal will be led by Editor-in-Chief Dr. Jinlong Yang, of USTC. Yang was elected as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2019. His research focuses on applied quantum chemistry. He has achieved results in design and simulation of new functional materials, as well as results in quantum manipulations and characterizations of single molecules on surfaces.
Precision Chemistry will begin to accept submissions in late 2022.
