Chemistry – An Asian Journal to be launched in 2006 by 

Wiley-VCH and leading chemical societies



Hoboken, N.J., December 16, 2005 – John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 

today announced a new partnership with four leading Asian 

chemical societies, and the 2006 launch of the new 

publication, Chemistry – An Asian Journal. The new journal 

will be published on behalf of the societies by Wiley-VCH, 

the company’s Weinheim, Germany-based operation. 



Chemistry – An Asian Journal is the result of a new 

publishing agreement between the members of the Asian 

Chemical Editorial Society (ACES) and Wiley-VCH. The new 

journal is published on behalf of the Chinese Chemical 

Society, the Chemical Research Society of India, the 

Chemical Society of Japan, and the Korean Chemical Society. 

In addition, the new publishing venture is supported by the 

German Chemical Society (GDCh). 



Ryoji Noyori, Nobel Laureate and Chairman of the Editorial 

Board, stresses the importance of Asian chemistry. 

“Chemistry – An Asian Journal offers a highly visible arena 

for top papers from researchers around the world and 

especially from Asia. With their unique cultural 

backgrounds, Asian researchers will significantly expand the 

horizons of chemical science. Complementing the existing top 

European and American journals, Chemistry – An Asian Journal 

will spur a ‘quantum leap’ in Asian chemistry.” 



Dr. Manfred Antoni, Managing Director of Wiley-VCH, agreed 

and said, “We are very pleased to have the opportunity to 

cooperate with the leading Asian chemical societies. This 

new partnership not only complements the framework of 

successful collaboration with renowned European chemical 

societies; but we can also learn from each other. The mutual 

exchange of experiences and the joint efforts for Chemistry 

– An Asian Journal foster the idea of a truly international 

research community. ”



Chemistry – An Asian Journal officially launches today with 

a “Call for Papers” reception at the Pacifichem conference 

in Honolulu, Hawaii. It is a sister journal of Chemistry – A 

European Journal (published on behalf of the Editorial Union 

of European Chemical Societies) and Angewandte Chemie 

(published on behalf of the GDCh). The new journal will 

appear monthly in print and electronically through Wiley 

InterScience (www.interscience.wiley.com) and publish full 

papers and reviews from all areas of chemistry.
