Launching early in 2010, the journal will provide a showcase for the ongoing efforts driving polymer chemistry, highlighting the creativity of the field and previously inaccessible applications. Monthly issues will contain a full mix of research articles including communications, reviews and full papers. The journal will have a broad scope, covering areas of polymer chemistry of interest to materials scientists and bioscientists, as well as all traditional areas of the field. 

Polymer Chemistry joins an exclusive group of journals launched by RSC Publishing in the past 12 months. Metallomics and Integrative Biology both published their first issues in January 2009, with new journals Nanoscale and Analytical Methods due to follow later this year.

The current issue of Polymer Chemistry will be freely available to everyone on the website from launch until the end of 2011. Free online institutional access to previous issue content during 2010 and 2011 is also available following a simple registration process. 

ChemSpider, a free online service providing access to almost 21.5 million unique chemical entities sourced from over 200 different data sources and integration to a multitude of other online services, is the richest single source of structure-based chemistry information. Its acquisition reflects RSC's commitment to providing access to premium resources of chemistry data and information. This complements RSC's existing leading role in online chemistry, including award-winning semantic mark-up technology and the release of the InChI resolver, recently launched in partnership with ChemSpider. 

The ChemSpider website will be re-launched later in the year.
