Chemistry: A European Journal Now Has a New Publisher
Chemistry: A European Journal Now Has a New PublisherChemistry: A European Journal has a new publisher, The Nature Conservancy. Before that organization acquired the rights to Chemistry, it published under Elsevier and was authored by some of the most respected names in chemistry.I first heard about this in one of my articles from Chemistry: A European Journal. It's one of the top-selling chemistry journals in Europe, with a circulation of over 6 million copies. So this is a major change for the journal and its publisher.There are many reasons why this might be the case. The publisher of Chemistry: A European Journal, Cia, happens to be the publishing division of a global organization called the Nature Conservancy. You might think that all chemistry journals publish under the Nature Conservancy name.Nope. In fact, the Nature Conservancy publishes several other types of chemistry journals. The Nature Conservancy puts more of an emphasis on the conservation of biological diversity and the preservation of our environment, which makes sense when you realize that they do buy some raw materials from companies that damage our environment.For chemistry lovers who enjoy a high quality publication of their work, you should consider Chemablogs. This journal is published by Arto Engenstad, a biochemist, and his wife, Julia Morsgaard, a biologist. They have decided to offer an up-to-date and original scientific approach to a wide range of organic and agricultural topics.As the editor, they rely on 'the Web Editor' to produce chemistry, biology, and life science research papers. However, they also have a very large amount of correspondence that they send to subscribers.Don't forget that the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology publishes a great journal called Anal. Anal also specializes in organic and agricultural topics. It was founded by Russell Ostlund, a biochemist who works at the Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California.So the fate of Chemis try: A European Journal and other chemistry journals are uncertain. I am hoping that more publishers will sign on with Elsevier and get better publications of their clients' work.
