Emerging investigator series

The Emerging Investigators Series has an overall objective to showcase the full diversity of cutting-edge research carried out by newer voices from across the worldwide catalysis research community. We will consider additional applications and nominations on their own merit; please contact us if you are interested in being considered for the series or nominating an exceptional early-career colleague.

Papers accepted for publication in the Emerging Investigators Series will be published in the earliest available issue and collated together in a dedicated Emerging Investigators page on the journal website. All submissions to the Emerging Investigators Series will be subject to the journal’s high standards in peer review.

In order to be eligible to feature as an Emerging Investigator, contributors must:

• Publish research within the journal scope
• Currently be an independent research leader
• Have not been featured as an Emerging Investigator in a previous Catalysis Science and Technology Emerging Investigators Series article.
• Have either a) received their PhD no earlier than 01 January of the year 12 years prior to the year of submission, or b) have no more than 12 years of post-PhD research experience on 01 January in the year of submission when taking into account any career breaks.

Authors previously featured as Catalysis Science and Technology Emerging Investigators may with no restriction be co-authors on subsequent papers in the Catalysis Science and TechnologyEmerging Investigators Series, but they may not be the sole eligible corresponding author and will not be featured as Emerging Investigators more than once.

Contributors will be required to confirm their eligibility by sending their CV to the journal editors.
