Main Group Chemistry
Main Group Chemistry is intended to be a primary resource for all chemistry, engineering, biological, and materials researchers in both academia and in industry with an interest in the elements from the groups 1, 2, 12 - 18, lanthanides and actinides. The journal is committed to maintaining a high standard for its publications. This will be ensured by a rigorous peer-review process with most articles being reviewed by at least one editorial board member. Additionally, all manuscripts will be proofread and corrected by a dedicated copy editor located at the University of Kentucky.
The journal will publish rapid, short, communications, full, detailed articles, and shorter, less developed notes. Periodically, the editors will solicit reviews on the latest main group developments. In particular, we would like to eventually publish reviews covering every column of the main group elements, and some that are focused on single elements. This will advertise and showcase the beauty and breadth of main group chemistry.
Main Group Chemistry stands as primary literature for worldwide dissemination on main group coordination chemistry and related research. It welcomes top tier research, as well as specialized findings and is broad and keeping with the contour of contemporary research. The editors as well as the editorial staff share a special commitment to keeping a home for findings in the main group chemistry and cultivating a literature home and fostering a sense of community for main group chemistry. We hope our publication brings a continued sense of community regarding main group chemical science to the chemists, educators, health professionals, engineers, and scientists worldwide.
Rigor:
MGC is committed to maintaining a high standard for its publications. It is intended to be a primary resource for all chemistry, engineering, biological, and materials researchers in both academia and in industry with an interest in the elements from the groups 1, 2, 12–18, lanthanides and actinides. This will be ensured by a rigorous peer-review process with articles being reviewed by at least one editorial board member.
Note: Manuscripts that arrive to our Editorial Office containing excellent science, but which contain medium to severe issues relating to the written presentation, may be promptly returned to the corresponding author for further proofreading/editing.
Article Type:
Our journal publishes full papers and detailed articles; we also encourage rapid, short, communications, and notes which constitute an account of research that is less developed, but nonetheless deemed important for the society. The editorial board also solicits requests for reviews on emergent main group developments. In particular, we will eventually publish reviews covering every group of the main group elements, and reviews focused on particular elements as well. This will advertise and showcase the breadth and beauty of main group chemistry.
Webinars on Hot topic:
As part of the Journal’s mission to help establish a more contemporary Main Group community that sustains its vitality, we will have regular webinars hosted by members of the IOS office. The tentative schedule is hosted below; we are assertive about our editorial board being deeply involved regarding the cutting edge main group science which will impact the journal (MGC) and the community.
