As a not-for-profit, society publisher, we ensure the quality and wide dissemination of chemical knowledge – through robust review, global reach and the publication of both fundamental and applied research.
Our organisation is made of active scientists – Royal Society of Chemistry members, authors, reviewers, editorial board members, and expert partners around the world. Working together, they amplify the global impact of everyone who publishes with us.
We are in a unique place to support the chemical sciences community, because we are part of it.
And this is what our metrics continue to show.
