What is Chemistry World?

Chemistry World and Chemistry World: China are read by 65,000 scientists every month, and published by RSC Publishing. With news analysis, features, opinion columns and the latest job advertisements, it's the best way to keep up to date with the chemical world. It's important to note that Chemistry World is a magazine, not a peer-reviewed journal.

Please contact our advertising department.

Do you provide work experience opportunities?

Yes. We offer an annual internship, funded by the Marriott Bequest, which provides hands-on experience of science journalism. Interns are generally towards the end of their degree or postgraduate course, and have a strong ambition to work in publishing. The internship is only open to members of the Royal Society of Chemistry, and also includes a placement with Education in Chemistry.

Details of the internship are advertised in Chemistry World magazine in the first quarter of each year.

Can I send in an article for publication in Chemistry World?

The majority of our material is written by freelance or staff journalists, but we also publish feature articles and opinion pieces by researchers. 

Please don't send us full-length, unsolicited articles. If you have an idea for a piece, please email us with a synopsis of 200 words or less. 

We also welcome letters for publication via email - please mark them 'For Publication', and provide a postal address.
