Read and publish in RSC journals

Access to high quality research and leading journals is vital for scientists across the globe. 

We’re working to ensure that scientists in Africa can access the information and resources needed to develop expertise and carry out crucial research.

1. All online RSC journals are available through Research4Life

As part of our commitment to supporting the chemical sciences around the globe, institutions in over 90 eligible countries have full access to our current journals, either free of charge or at low cost.

Research4Life is a partnership of the WHO, FAO, UNEP, WIPO and over 180 publishers. It aims to reduce the knowledge gap between high-income countries and low/middle-income countries by providing access to scientific research.
