Researchers will soon have a new dedicated home for presenting findings of exceptional significance from across the chemical sciences. 

Announcing the launch of Chemical Science at the ACS Fall 2009 National Meeting in Washington, Editorial Director Dr James Milne described this new venture as a milestone in the development of the RSC publishing portfolio. "During recent years, RSC journals have attracted significant growth in submissions, while journal Impact Factors have increased to now lead the field." Dr Milne continued: "the launch of Chemical Science, with Professor MacMillan as Editor-in-Chief, will truly complement RSC Publishing's world renowned communications and review flagship titles, and this development has been exceptionally well-received by the research community at large." 

Launching in 2010, Chemical Science will be: 

Dynamic 

Editor-in-Chief Professor David MacMillan of Princeton, USA will lead a dynamic international team of Associate Editors who will drive the scientific development and make decisions on the content
