Researchers in the field of materials science have a new option for publishing their findings, with the launch of a new Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) journal - Materials Horizons. The latest addition to the RSC Publishing portfolio is a new peer-reviewed journal that will disseminate research across the breadth of materials science. Materials Horizons will feature research spanning multiple disciplines, publishing first reports of exceptional significance at the cutting-edge interface of materials science with chemistry, physics, biology and engineering. The journal will open for submissions in April 2013 and the first issue will be published in late 2013. Seth Marder, Professor of Chemistry and Materials Science and Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology, USA, has been appointed Chair of the new journal's Editorial Board. He said: "It is a very exciting opportunity for me to work with the team at the RSC to help launch Materials Horizons, a new kind of society journal geared to rapid publication of truly top calibre, first reports of materials research broadly defined. "Importantly, while published by a chemical society, the journal will seek to serve the broader materials community, by welcoming papers that cover the gambit of materials research, providing a forum for editorials on the status and future of materials research, and content geared specifically to educating and engaging younger researchers in the field. With this, we hope to make Materials Horizons an indispensable resource for all researchers in the materials community." Free institutional online access to the entire 2014 and 2015 content of the journal will be provided to all existing customers (An existing customer is defined as one who has a current institutional subscription to one or more journals from RSC Publishing, and with IP address registered.) Access will also be available to new institutional customers following a simple registration process at www.rsc.org/Publishing/Journals/free_access_registration.asp<http://www.rsc.org/Publishing/Journals/free_access_registration.asp> More details are available at rsc.li/materials-horizons Max Espley Campaigns Manager - Librarians Royal Society of Chemistry Thomas Graham House, Science Park, Cambridge, CB4 0WF, UK Tel: +44 (0) 1223 432498, Fax: +44 (0) 1223 420247 www.rsc.org/publishing<http://www.rsc.org/publishing> [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> Now all RSC Gold subscribers receive voucher codes to publish RSC papers via Open Access.
