Membership supports consistent open access publishing and helps reduce administrative steps for authors and institutions that publish chemistry research regularly. It is ideal for laboratories, research groups, and organizations that produce multiple manuscripts each year.

• Discounted Article Processing Charges (APCs) for eligible submissions
• Membership certificate recognizing contribution to chemical science
• Predictable planning for publication budgets and project timelines
• Visibility through open access dissemination to global audiences

Membership does not influence editorial decisions. All manuscripts are reviewed based on scientific quality, ethics, and relevance to the journal scope.

• Research groups in organic, inorganic, analytical, or physical chemistry
• Laboratories publishing synthesis, catalysis, or materials studies
• Universities and institutes with recurring chemistry submissions
• Industry teams sharing applied or translational chemistry research

Beyond APC support, membership strengthens engagement with the chemistry research community and supports consistent dissemination of results. Members receive guidance on submission readiness, updates on journal policies, and clear expectations for APC coverage.

Open access publication increases discoverability for chemists, interdisciplinary collaborators, and industry partners who may not have subscription access. This is particularly valuable for fast moving areas such as catalysis, energy materials, and analytical methods.

Membership also helps laboratories plan multi year projects, coordinate publications across multiple co authors, and reduce administrative delays related to APC processing.

Chemistry research often informs materials design, industrial processes, and environmental solutions. Open access ensures that findings reach researchers, engineers, educators, and policy makers who need timely evidence. Membership supports this model by sustaining editorial review, production quality, and long term access to published work.

For authors, this means broader readership and higher visibility for data, methods, and reproducible protocols that can accelerate discovery and application.

This membership supports independent researchers, faculty, and professional chemists. Members are eligible for APC waivers or discounts for regular submissions and may submit an unlimited number of manuscripts per year (excluding special issues) as an author or co author.

This option is well suited for researchers leading multi project studies and those who want predictable APC coverage across a year or two year period.

Student membership supports graduate and postgraduate students in chemistry. Members receive APC support and unlimited submissions per year (excluding special issues) as an author or co author.

A brief letter of recommendation from a faculty member, department head, or research advisor is required at the time of application.

Institutional membership is ideal for universities, research centers, and academic departments that publish multiple chemistry papers annually. It provides centralized APC coverage and supports coordinated publication planning.

This membership supports chemical companies, industrial laboratories, and innovation teams that publish applied research. Corporate members receive APC reductions and recognition of their commitment to advancing chemical science.

• Submit an application with your role, affiliation, and membership type.
• Upon approval, the editorial office confirms APC coverage for eligible manuscripts.
• Membership benefits apply after acceptance and do not affect peer review.
• Institutions can designate a contact to manage eligibility and usage.

Membership supports open access visibility and helps ensure that chemistry research reaches researchers, educators, and industry practitioners worldwide. Institutions may request periodic usage summaries to track coverage and plan future budgets.

• Maintain current contact details and notify the journal of changes.
• Ensure that member benefits apply only to eligible submissions.
• Inform co authors and teams about membership coverage before submission.
• Follow all journal ethics and authorship requirements.

Members should ensure that manuscripts meet reporting standards and include required statements on data availability, conflicts of interest, and funding.

To apply for membership, email [email protected] with the following details:

• Full name and role
• Institutional or corporate affiliation
• Complete mailing address
• Journal(s) of interest

Our team will review your request and provide next steps. Membership certificates are issued after approval.

• Membership benefits must be used within the active term.
• Early renewal is encouraged, with a 10% discount on renewal fees for members who renew before their current term expires.
• Late renewals may result in a temporary suspension of services, and unused entitlements do not carry over after the term ends.

Does membership guarantee acceptance? No. Membership does not influence editorial decisions or peer review outcomes.

Can multiple departments use an institutional plan? Yes. Institutions may define eligible units and authorized authors.

Are special issues included? Membership benefits generally apply to regular submissions. Confirm eligibility for special issues with the editorial office.
