ACS Catalysis is led by Editor-in-Chief Christopher W. Jones, New-Vision Professor in the Georgia Tech School of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering and Adjunct Professor in the Georgia Tech School of Chemistry and Biochemistry. “ACS Catalysis was launched amidst a crowded field of catalysis journals, but was the first (along with a journal of similar scope from the Royal Society of Chemistry, which was launched in parallel) to be published by a major scientific society without a commercial, for-profit publishing partner,” Jones says.

According to Jones, much of the journal’s success is due to the superior submissions and a quick publication time, aided by its online-only format. “ACS Catalysis couples ACS Publications’ outstanding publication platform, ParagonPlus, with extremely fast processing times and a high-quality finished product,” he says. “We have been fortunate to attract a large number of submissions from around the world and publish papers by top authors in every area of catalysis.”
