From January 2000, the monthly Journal of Chemical Research will be owned and published by Science Reviews Ltd.
The journal, which began publication in 1977, was set up as a joint venture by the Gesellschaft Deutscher Chemiker, the Société Francais de Chimie and the Royal Society of Chemistry. The three organisations are confident that Science Reviews Ltd will maintain the journals high standards and that the change of ownership will be seamless. The editorial policy of Journal of Chemical Research will remain unchanged, together with its vigorous refereeing system, and Professor A G Davies FRS, University College London, and Dr J R Hanson, Sussex University, will continue to be on the Management Board. The other members of the Editorial Board are Professor R L Richards, John Innes Institute, University of East Anglia Dr John Boulton, University of East Anglia and Dr Robert Coombes, Brunel University.
Dr Peter Farago, Chief Executive of Science Reviews Ltd says: We shall ensure that Journal of Chemical Research maintains and strengthens its service to the academic community.
