Announcing RSC Chemical Biology
Today the Royal Society of Chemistry announces RSC Chemical Biology – a new gold open access journal for exceptionally significant findings in chemical biology.
Professor Hiroaki Suga from the University of Tokyo is leading the journal’s editorial board. His research interests are RNA, translation, and peptides, and he is the founder of PeptiDream Inc.
He said: "I’m very excited to take on the role of Chair of the editorial board of RSC Chemical Biology, which will be launched in 2020. This new journal will publish important research sparked at the interface of chemistry and biology. I’d encourage colleagues to submit their high quality work from basic to translational research to RSC Chemical Biology."
Article publication charges for the journal are waived until mid-2022, meaning it will be free to read and free to publish in for the first two years.
We are committed to the wide dissemination of high quality research, and the launch of our new open access journal – RSC Chemical Biology – represents the next step in enabling us to achieve that. The journal will provide a home for agenda-setting research that we hope will be of enormous benefit not only to the chemical sciences community, but to society at large. I look forward to seeing the first articles submitted.
The journal welcomes contributions from across the breadth of chemical biology, from the development of new chemical and biological techniques and tools, to studies furthering the understanding and/or manipulation of biological processes at the molecular level.
It will also encourage translational research that bridges chemistry and chemical biology to medicine. All published articles must be of significant general interest to the broad chemical biology community.
