> Growing Globally: ACS Publications Research Highlights from India

ACS Publications is

We might call ourselves the American Chemical Society—but ACS publications are hardly limited to research from the United States. We’re highlighting countries that are leading producers of research. We’re sharing tips and tricks for researchers to help you meet the challenges of publishing in your unique environments.
