Science magazine Chemistry World has undergone a revamp, with the changes appearing in the next issue of the publication on January 9.
Although all the popular features will still be included, some may have moved to different sections off the magazine, though the publishers of Chemistry World are confident that it won’t take long for readers to familiarise themselves with the new style. Regular articles, such as the Totally Synthetic and the Business Roundup, are still in their usual homes and the editors are keen for readers to give their feedback on the changes via Facebook and Twitter.
However, the biggest difference that readers will notice is that the publication is now being printed on glossy paper, in an effort to improve the look of the magazine and increase the quality of images and photographs; an essential part of any modern, professional publication.
The publishers of Chemistry Today have apparently been considering changes to the magazine for some time, and many of the suggestions were even more radical than changing the lay-out and the look of the publication. However, after weeks of discussions, the staff are happy with the new-look Chemistry World and felt that the New Year was the perfect time to make a new start.
As befits a magazine covering the latest scientific developments, Chemistry Today is also launching a number of technological innovation at the same time as the magazine itself is relaunched. After the success of the iPhone app last year, publishers have decided to go ahead with corresponding apps for other smartphones and for the iPad.
The app not only gives users access to the current issue of Chemistry World but the ability to search and read issues that are up to one year old. Subscribers can even set up the app so that their iPad or iPhone automatically downloads the newest edition when it becomes available, so readers can have their copy before it even hits the newsagent’s shelves.
If you’re interested in the Chemistry World app, make sure you get hold of it before April 1; until that date it is free to everyone, but afterwards access will be restricted to current subscribers and members of the Royal Society of Chemistry.
Upcoming features in the magazine will include lots of reports from major chemistry events all over the world, which staff from the publication will be attending to report on the latest news from the scientific community. These include the ACS meetings in both spring and autumn, Analytica and the various International Symposia on Advancing the Chemical Sciences (ISACS) sessions held throughout the year.
One of the chemistry highlights is expected to be January’s 1st UK Solar to Fuels Symposium, which is being held in London and will be attended by several Chemistry World staff to make sure readers get all the news from this important conference.
