The programs of these 3 days can be viewed on the NJC blog at http://blogs.rsc.org/nj/2015/05/14/programs-of-the-njc-symposia-in-canada-june-2015/.
Besides organizing these 3 NJC Symposia, NJC sponsored a dozen scientific conferences in 2015, ranging from a small graduate student weekend to a Pacifichem symposium. Specific activities included sponsoring poster prizes (see winners in Table 1), a speaker (at the XXI EuCheMS International Conference on Organometallic Chemistry), an entire scientific session (at the 6th EuCheMS Conference on Nitrogen Ligands) and a multi-day symposium (Organo-f-elements Chemistry at Pacifichem).

Two themed collections were published in 2015.
• The “Foldamers” collection published in May was guest-edited by Prof. David Aitken (University of Paris in Orsay, France). The 17 contributions, including 3 review articles, covered the latest advances in several topical areas of the new field of foldamer science.
• The October issue included 25 contributions on the theme of “Frontiers of Organo-f-element Chemistry”. The guest editors were Profs Frank Edelmann (University of Magdeburg, Germany) and Peter Junk (James Cook University, Australia).
The contents lists of all NJC themed collections can be seen at http://pubs.rsc.org/en/journals/journalissues/nj#!themedcollections.
Many of the papers published in 2014 and 2015 were highly cited in 2015. Those listed in Tables 2 and 3, respectively, had a minimum of 11 (2014 papers) or 5 (2015 papers) citations based on Web of Science™ at time of writing.

Finally, let us not forget the covers, designed by our authors and selected by the Montpellier editorial office from the various propositions. We are very proud of the quality of our covers—often imaginative and artistic. We thank all our authors who have worked diligently to propose a colorful reflection of their published work. The full gallery of the 22 covers published in 2015 is exhibited in Fig. 3.

• The themed collection on “Emergent Polyoxometalates and Soft Oxometalates” with Profs Debbie Crans (Colorado State University, USA) and Soumyajit Roy (IISER Kolkata, India) as guest editors will be published in the February issue.
• An issue on ordered porous materials, guest-edited by Dr Anne Galarneau (ICGM, Montpellier, France) and Prof. Irina Ivanova (M. V. Lomonosov Moscow State University, Russia) is in preparation for publication in the spring. This issue is dedicated to Dr François Fajula, a long-time member of NJC's Advisory Board.
• In the summer will follow a themed issue on “Nitrogen Ligands”, with guest editors Profs Claude Gros and Franck Denat (University of Burgundy, France).
Check the NJC website to discover the full content of each collection as soon as it is published.

Fig. 4 Two manuscript pages showing the ‘integrated’ format required for all submissions to NJC. Full details are given on the NJC blog in the October 2014 archives (http://blogs.rsc.org/nj/2014/10/). |
We would like to take this opportunity to remind all authors to provide this ‘integrated’ file when first submitting their manuscripts to avoid unnecessary delays during the evaluation process.
Another requirement is that manuscripts submitted as Letters and Focuses (which have length limitations) should be placed in the Communication and Paper templates, respectively, provided by the RSC.
We thus highly recommend that authors read the article on the blog (http://blogs.rsc.org/nj/2014/10/) for full details about these requirements and other useful information. We also invite all authors to read the January 2015 editorial (New J. Chem., 2015, 39, 27; DOI: 10.1039/c4nj90050b), which described the journal's editorial policy.
We would like to remind our authors and reviewers of the criteria used to evaluate manuscripts submitted to NJC. Each submission must include:
• a strong chemistry component,
• a focused introduction that clearly places the work in the context of previous work for the general readership of NJC,
• a detailed and precise experimental or methodology section that would allow others to repeat the work,
• a critical discussion (with comparisons to the literature and previous work where appropriate),
• conclusions that clearly present the new insights or understanding that have been gained from the work, as well as the implications for future research,
• a manuscript presentation that respects the usual conventions for papers published in RSC journals, including English of a sufficient level to be easily understandable by the reader.
We also heartily thank all of the editors, who handle the manuscripts, using their expertise to select relevant reviewers and make the appropriate decision. Qualified reviewers are more and more in demand as well. We warmly thank all of those who help the editors select the best work to publish in NJC.
Readers are critically important to us. We encourage you to sign up for the e-alerts (http://www.rsc.org/Publishing/Journals/forms/V5profile.asp) so as not to miss a single issue of NJC, to send us your feedback on how we can make the journal better, and to cite NJC articles when relevant to your work.
Others who contribute to the continuing success of NJC are the Editorial and Advisory Board members, and we thank them for all of their efforts on behalf of the journal during these past years.
Looking forward by looking further—beyond the traditional boundaries—NJC presents chemistry as the central science.
