ACS Publications www.acs.org A Newsletter for Contributors to the ACS Cycle of Excellence Volume 3 / Issue 2 / Fall 2009 In This Issue: Why I Read ACS Journals and Why I Publish in ACS Journals Why I Publish My Research In ACS Publications: For over 130 years, the journals of the American Chemical Society have built a reputation for publishing high quality, high impact research from around the world. Testament to that reputation in 2008, ACS journals ranked #1 in citations and/or ISI Impact Factor in 15 separate subject categories including all seven of the core areas of chemistry.* This success is built upon the support of the author and reviewer community as well as the vision and commitment of our Editors. Listed below are some of the common themes we hear from the community describing why they choose ACS as a home for their research publication and as the first place they look to stay current in the field. 2008 Citations per Article in Thomson High Editorial & Peer Review Standards Reuters Seven Core Chemistry Categories “Editors and reviewers are objective, professional and have integrity. They 50 provide me with recognition when I have earned it and constructive, critical 45 40 feedback on my research, which has been invaluable to my development as a 35 researcher.” 30 25 — Andrew Hendersen, Teeside University 20 15 The success of ACS Publications can be directly attributed to the 10 CITES leadership of ACS Editors. As active scientists, many of our editors PER ARTICLE 5 44 0 are not only the top researchers in their respective fields, but also IN 2008 ACS Elsevier Wiley RSC Springer members in the National Academy of Sciences and/or fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. 2008 Geographic Split of Broad Reach & Dissemination ACS Article Requests “ACS has the leading journals in my area. I want my work to get the widest Europe 20.8% possible exposure, so publishing in these journals is important for me.” North America 32.0% — Charles Winter, Wayne State University Rest of Asia 15.2% In 2008, the ACS Web Editions had more than 60 million COUNTER-compliant China 17.5% article requests from around the world – more than 1 million every week, with Japan 11.2% usage continuing to grow in 2009. When it’s important for your research reach Rest of World 3.3% the world, submit your manuscript to an ACS Publication. 2009 YTD: Rapid Publication “ACS journals have a great reputation combined with a fast and efficient review process. Publication speed is one of the most important factors for me, and ACS provides some of the shortest publication times.” — Konstantin Momot, Queensland University of Technology Authors depend on fast publication times offered by ACS Publications to communicate their research findings. For example, the Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS) publishes Articles ASAPSM within days of author proof approval and weeks before the print issue. The 2008 median time for JACS Communications submission to publication on the Web is 10 weeks. Comparable Author Print Charges TOtal COst JOurnal TO authOR No Publication Charges Electrophoresis (Wiley) $1121 “I choose ACS publications for their professional editorial and review process, PNAS (National Academy of Sciences) $930 high scholarly reputation, and lack of page charges, color charges and .” Nature Materials (Nature) $525 submission fees — Douglas Laurents, Spanish National Research Council Journal of Controlled Release (Elsevier) $410 Unlike many other publishers, ACS Publications has no publication ACS JACS (ACS Publications) $0 AUTHOR charges and provides multiple options allowing for full author $0 CHARGES (9 Page Article with 1 Color Image) compliance with the NIH Public Access Policy. *2008 Journal Citation Reports® from Thomson Reuters www.acs.org Why I Read ACS Publications: Cutting Edge Chemistry “I read ACS journals regularly to ensure that my knowledge of the chemical sciences remains at the cutting edge.” — Thom Dunning, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign OF THE As reported in the most recent Essential Science Indicators from Thomson Reuters, 8 of the Top 20 TOP 20 HOT PAPERS “Hot Papers” in chemistry were published in JACS or Chemical Reviews. 8 IN CHEMISTRY Discoverability “The journals are well organized, allowing for easy review of the table of contents 2009 ALPSP and ASAP articles. This means that in the time it takes to eat lunch I can have half a Best Website dozen new cross-pollinating research ideas and stay current on most of the or Platform research within my field.” — Thomas Reily, National Renewable Energy Laboratory The ACS Web Editions platform makes staying current quick and easy with savable searches, customizable email notifications, RSS feeds, related content recommendations, and direct linking to substances, compounds and reactions in SciFinder®. No wonder the ALPSP honored the ACS with its 2009 Best Website or Platform Award! High Quality Research 2008 Total Citations in Thomson Reuters “ACS journals have the reputation of publishing articles fast, conducting impartial Seven Core Chemistry Categories reviews, and having a huge readership. Also, all the ACS journals have acquired 1,400,000 high Impact Factors. Publishing a research paper in an ACS journal is considered 29 Journals for your work.” 1,200,000 99 strong recognition Journals — K.R. Justin Thomas, Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee 1,000,000 As reported in the 2008 Journal Citation Reports® by Thomson Reuters, ACS 800,000 journals rank #1 in citations and/or ISI Impact Factor in the seven core chemistry 600,000 54 categories of Multidisciplinary Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Applied Chemistry, Journals 400,000 18 Medicinal Chemistry, Organic Chemistry and Physical Chemistry. ACS journals also Journals rank # 1 in ISI Impact Factor or citations in eight additional categories, ranging from 200,000 42 Journals Agriculture to Polymer Science. See page 18 for more on the 2008 Journal Citation 0 Reports® from ACS. ACS Elsevier WileyRSC Springer IN 15 SUBJECT #1 CATEGORIES Breadth & Depth of Coverage “ACS journals offerhigh quality research in a number of specific areas of chemistry. Furthermore, a journal such as JACS features a wide variety of high impact research from all fields of chemistry. The work is generally quite novel and useful to my own research.” — Richard Clayton Shallcross, University of Arizona Articles in journals from ACS Publications are indexed in all 80 CAS categories, including proteomics, genomics, biochemistry, biochemical genetics, organic chemistry, macromolecular science, applied chemistry, physical chemistry, inorganic chemistry, and analytical chemistry.
