Nominations are now open for the 2015 class of ACS Fellows; the deadline for nominations is April 1, 2015. The ACS Fellows Program recognizes ACS members for excellence and leadership in both of two areas: (1) science, the profession, education, and/or management, and (2) volunteer service in the ACS community. (Pictured: 2014 ACS Fellow Dr. Victor R. McCrary, Morgan State University, is congratulated by ACS Past President Marinda Wu.)
 Please consider chemical professionals for nomination who have outstanding contributions and achievements resulting in both lasting beneficial impact on the science/profession and significant enhancements to ACS programs, products, or services. Nominations are submitted online and are solicited from ACS National Committees, Local Sections, and Divisions, as well as from individual members.
We look forward to receiving your nominations, and to the opportunity to recognize chemical professionals who are making an impact. Visit www.acs.org/fellows for additional information, or e-mail questions to fellows@acs.org. |

"While the electronic age has made the publication process easier and quicker, optimizing the structure of a scientific paper requires a certain degree of skill and proficiency," write Jillian M. Buriak, Prashant V. Kamat, George C. Schatz, and Paul S. Weiss, in the lead Editorial. "This issue draws together in one place editorials that summarize the key steps involved in writing an effective paper, journal submission, review processes, and post-publication efforts."
Featuring 20 papers by the Editors of Chemistry of Materials, The Journal of Physical Chemistry, and ACS Nano, "Mastering the Art of Scientific Publication" illustrates the key steps involved in writing an effective paper, journal submission, review processes, and postpublication efforts; this collection will be valuable reading for students or young researchers submitting their first results, as well as veterans interested in polishing and refining their submissions for maximum impact. |
