ChemCatChem and ChemElectroChem celebrate birthdays This year ChemCatChem celebrates a decade of publishing in catalysis and it's ChemElectroChem's 5th Anniversary. ChemPubSoc Europe led the way with the establishment of these two journals; it created an over-arching catalysis journal and ignited a revival in electrochemistry. To commemorate the occasion, the journals have published first issues packed with research and review articles—many of which are authored by Board members. These are free to read in 2019. Read about the efforts of both journals to support society publishing, women in chemistry, and more.

ChemPubSoc Europe’s Feedback on Plan S In 2018, some European funding organizations formed cOAlition S and released "Plan S", followed by an implementation directive. Like many societies, the 16 European chemical societies comprising ChemPubSoc Europe have submitted feedback to cOAlition S regarding the implementation guidance. Wiley and Projekt DEAL, a consortium of more than 700 German libraries and research institutes, have established a landmark agreement for Germany to pilot new publishing models. ChemPubSoc Europe is proud to be part of this innovative and transformative action toward open science. For more information, visit: bit.ly/DEALAuthor
