OUR EDITORS

What Our Editors Say About Us 

"Publishing in an ACS journal is about sharing your science with the world in a meaningful way. The process is guided by practicing scientists who understand both the challenges and rewards of publishing because they’ve been there too. You’ll find a collaborative and supportive environment where the focus is on enhancing your work and communicating its impact. ACS journals emphasize clear, effective science communication, helping your research reach those who can build upon it, apply it, and push it forward. It's not just about publishing a paper; it’s about contributing to a larger conversation in the scientific community."
Jacob M. Hooker, Editor-in-Chief, ACS Chemical Neuroscience
“Editors of ACS journals are ourselves, principal investigators at the front line of academic research. They have the best sense of quality and vigor to judge a submitted work. At ACS Chemical Biology we would not accept a manuscript unless it meets our academic standard, no matter how popular the subject is. We are also here to serve the community. We want to ensure we cover different areas of chemical biology, and that good work contributing to new knowledge gets fair review and publication. Your manuscripts will be in peers' hands you trust."
Chuan He, Editor-in-Chief, ACS Chemical Biology
