OUR EDITORS

What Our Editors Say About Us

See why our editors recommend publishing in an ACS Publications journal. 
“Publications in ACS journals are distinguished by their quality, scholarship and intellectual rigor. Having active researchers as editors places an emphasis on scientific quality and rigor across the portfolio. ACS handles manuscripts fairly, publishes scholarly work and having your work appear in an ACS journal gives it a seal of approval for quality and innovation. Overall, the process from submission to review to revision to publication is straightforward, efficient and reliable. It is predictable in that manuscripts are handled professionally, rigorously and fairly. The quality of peer review is unparalleled compared to other publishers and editors are responsive to work with authors to ensure the highest quality manuscript."
Prof. Paul J. Chirik, Editor-in-Chief, Organometallics 
“It continues to be a privilege to be associated with ACS Publications, serving as the Editor-in-Chief of The Journal of Organic Chemistry. The professionalism and shared vision of serving the scientific community in the spirit of excellence, across the whole field and spanning academia, industry and other sectors has been fantastic. I am also consistently inspired by the commitment of our authors, reviewers and editors to advance the field. Almost daily, I am learning some new piece of chemistry myself, and with our collaborators at other related ACS journals, we have helped nurture the expansion of the field.  It is a truly enriching experience, born of a truly enriching community.”
Prof. Scott J. Miller, Editor-in-Chief, The Journal of Organic Chemistry
