Fig. 1 The evolution of NJC's impact factor and submissions from 1995 to 2009. |
The journal's new editorial policy (published in the October 2010 issue and available at DOI: 10.1039/c005530c) reinforces the criteria applied to the selection of manuscripts for publication in NJC. We encourage potential authors to become familiar with our editorial criteria when selecting work to submit to NJC. We also ask NJC's reviewers to apply these criteria in a conscientious manner.
Work published in NJC highlights the central role of chemistry in the broader scientific endeavour through its contributions to other fields. This thematic is in perfect harmony with 2011's International Year of Chemistry.

Conferences also present opportunities to support the chemistry community. NJC Interface Poster Prizes are awarded to promising young chemists each year at a selection of conferences, and NJC also sponsors invited speakers and sessions. Details will appear on the NJC web sites as these occasions arise.

Our list of titles continues to grow: Food & Function and Catalysis Science & Technology are the latest titles to join our expanding portfolio. Plus, the number of articles we've published has increased by 74% in the last 2 years alone. We remain committed to providing a world-class publishing service to our authors, and delivering cutting-edge chemical science to readers throughout the world.
The IF and article growth figures provide a clear indication that more researchers than ever before are recognising journals from the RSC as a key resource to access the very best research.
Totalling nearly 1000 eBooks, equating to one third of a million pages, the RSC eBook Collection delivers outstanding online research and opinion in a multitude of areas of the chemical sciences. Nine new RSC eBook Subject Collections offer additional flexibility.
