Polymer Content at RSC Publishing
05 June 2009
The announcement on June 1st that new journal Polymer Chemistry will join the RSC Publishing portfolio from 2010 further strengthens an already prospering collection of journals and books publishing polymer content.
Where should I publish?
With an ever-expanding list of journals including polymer research in their scope, we appreciate it can be a little daunting knowing where to submit your work. Here, by clarifying and defining the scope of our journals, we aim to provide you, our authors and readers, with the best guide on where to submit and read the best polymer-related research.

 Polymer Chemistry is a new peer-reviewed journal publishing advances in polymer chemistry encompassing all aspects of synthetic and biological macromolecules, and related emerging areas. Launching in early 2010, the journal will provide a showcase for the ongoing efforts driving polymer chemistry, highlighting the creativity of the field and previously inaccessible applications. |
 Soft Matter is an interdisciplinary journal publishing fundamental science which includes polymers in its scope. The scope of Soft Matter ranges from physics to chemistry to biology, so papers suitable for the journal should be of interest to this broad range of scientists. |
Showcasing polymer content
To assist you further in your decision, and to showcase some of the high quality polymer research currently appearing across RSC journals, we have selected a number of articles published recently in Journal of Materials Chemistry and Soft Matter. Please contact the Editorial Office if you have any further questions.
