With the volume and accessibility of scientific research increasing across the world, it has never been more important to continue building the reputation for quality and ethical publishing we’ve spent the past two centuries establishing.

Academic researchers, R&D teams, teachers, students, policy makers and the media all rely on us to share knowledge that is reliable, accurate and cutting-edge.

As a society publisher, everything we do is to support the scientific community – so you can trust us to always act in your best interests, and get your work the international recognition that it deserves.

Why publish with us?

Be reassured by quality

Our publishing staff, all scientists, will guide you through the peer review and publication process. For many of our journals, peer review is supported by our associate editors, who are all active researchers in their field. 

Combine quality with fast publication

Across all of our journals, on average papers receive their first editorial decision 30 days after submission. It’s even quicker for communications at an average of 22 days from submission to first decision (times stated are based on the average for 2024 for published articles). See our journal metrics for more information.

Our accepted manuscript option allows your article to be online within 24 hours of acceptance.

Rely on our partnerships to take the effort away

Because you should concentrate on what you do best, we team up with respected services and initiatives to help make the publishing and reviewing time-efficient and extra rewarding.

• ChemRxiv helps you rapidly share your work at preprint stage with a global, interdisciplinary audience
  
• Kudos helps you quickly and easily increase the impact and visibility of your work
• Web of Science Reviewer Recognition Service helps the people who review your papers to easily gain recognition for their expertise and standards

Promote your work to a wider audience

Getting your article published is just the start of your work’s journey into the world. We do all we can to maximise your work’s impact and provide guides to help you self-promote more easily.

Our editors also select articles to highlight in ÀË»¨Ö±²¥ World and to the global scientific media. You can also share your work with colleagues and research collaborators with free electronic reprints.

Choose your open access option

You can publish gold open access in any of our journals, and keep your copyright as standard.

Our article processing charges (APCs) include a choice of CC BY licence at no extra cost, and there are a range of discounts and waivers available. APCs are currently waived for all authors in our flagship journal Chemical Science, and our new journals have affordable APCs with waivers and discounts available. 

I would like to personally thank you for the speed and attention to detail you have shown when handling this paper. I think this is the best publishing experience I have yet received (and I’ve published well over 100 papers).
