RSC Advances is an online-onlypeer-reviewedscientific journal covering research on all aspects of thechemical sciences. It was established in 2011 and is published by theRoyal Society of Chemistry. The currenteditors-in-chief are Russell Cox (Leibniz Universität Hannover) andKaren Faulds (University of Strathclyde).[1]
In 2014, the journal moved to a very high publication frequency,[2] initially about 100/year (similar to that ofChemComm), but later in the year (and in 2015) turned to even higher frequency—however it did not become acontinuous journal. The number of pages published annually had increased dramatically from about 26,500 in 2013 to over 65,000 in 2014,[3] culminating at 116 issues and 115,000+ pages (~1000 pages per issue) in 2016.
In late 2016, it was announced that with effect from January 2017, the journal would convert from a subscription based journal to anopen access journal.[3][4] Meanwhile, the journal experienced a cool-down in publication volume, with each issue having only ~500 pages. There were 89 issues in 2017 and 74 issues in 2018.
The journal is abstracted and indexed in theScience Citation Index Expanded,[5]Current Contents/Physical, Chemical & Earth Sciences,[5] andScopus.[6]
