Partnership with leading societies to support ChemRxiv鈩�
We have announced a partnership with the American Chemical Society (ACS) and the German Chemical Society (GDCh) to support the financial and strategic development of , the premier preprint server for the global chemistry community.
This strategic partnership among three of the largest scientific societies in the chemical sciences will enable researchers to rapidly disseminate their findings in a forum that is free and globally accessible.
Through the establishment of this strong international alliance, ChemRxiv is a truly global preprint server driven by the chemistry research community. Collaboration between ACS, the UU裸聊直播 of Chemistry and GDCh ensures the sustainability of this service and its continued ability to meet the needs of the global chemistry community.
Supporting our global chemistry community
"Introducing ChemRxiv is a fantastic opportunity to provide our global chemistry community with new tools to share and discover research," says Dr Emma Wilson, our director of publishing. "It鈥檚 an important service for researchers across the chemical sciences, and cementing a partnership between three major chemical societies ensures our international community is at the heart of ChemRxiv."
"We at ACS are delighted to officially partner with two of the world鈥檚 premiere scientific societies on ChemRxiv," says Dr James Milne, senior vice president, ACS Journals Publishing Group. "In a rapidly evolving scientific landscape, preprints are an essential step in the research process, providing transparency and enabling the rapid and global communication of new findings. Through this partnership, ChemRxiv will be governed and led by chemical societies, long-recognized as representative of the broad international community we serve."
Free, streamlined service
Authors working across all fields of chemistry are able to post their findings to the server ahead of formal peer review and publication. The service is free of charge, features a streamlined portal for direct and easy submission, and supports a wide variety of file formats. New features include a triage process that checks for plagiarism and other basic elements, while retaining its rapid posting time of less than two business days.
"The scholarly publishing landscape is significantly changing,鈥� says GDCh Executive Director Wolfram Koch. "It is therefore important that the GDCh teams up with ACS and the UU裸聊直播 of Chemistry to fulfil our joint task to serve the chemical community worldwide and to support the dissemination of chemical knowledge."

The , the world鈥檚 largest scientific society, is a not-for-profit organization chartered by the U.S. Congress. ACS is a global leader in providing access to chemistry-related information and research through its multiple databases, peer-reviewed journals and scientific conferences. ACS does not conduct research, but publishes and publicizes peer-reviewed scientific studies. Through its Publications Division, the Society publishes 50+ peer-reviewed journals and eBooks. ACS journals are among the most cited, most trusted and most read within the scientific literature. The Publications Division offers high-quality service to authors and readers, including rapid time to publication, cutting-edge web and mobile delivery platforms and comprehensive open-access options. The Society's main offices are in Washington, D.C., and Columbus, Ohio.
About the German Chemical Society
The Gesellschaft Deutscher Chemiker (GDCh) is the largest chemical society in continental Europe with members from academe, education, industry and other areas. The GDCh supports chemistry in teaching, research and application and promotes the understanding of chemistry in the public. In 2017 the GDCh celebrated the 150th anniversary of the founding of its predecessor society, the Deutsche Chemische Gesellschaft.
