Our most recent development in this area is our newly launched Chemical Sciences Repository, an online platform for the scientific community to easily deposit, share and discover high quality, Open Access (OA) research. http://www.rsc.org/Chemical-Sciences-Repository/articles/ This initial release provides a repository through which you can access open access articles, whether they are funded immediate open access articles, or articles that must be made open access after an embargo period, such as those funded by RCUK, the Wellcome Trust or NIH. Your researchers will be able to: * Deposit and share their research - it's a simple three step process to search for a publication, review it and confirm if for deposit * Network and collaborate - set up a profile to enhance their visibility within the research community, connecting effectively with other researchers online * Measure the impact of their research - tracking the diverse impact their articles have via citations, bookmarks, downloads, tweets, and other vehicles... * Make their research discoverable - the user-friendly interface ensures searching and browsing for information is easy * Benefit from the intuitive interface and search functions - all designed with the chemist in mind, from structure searchability to subject coverage Improving the discoverability of the quality work of your researchers will raise you and your organisation's profile, and exemplifies our mission to promote, support and celebrate Chemistry. http://www.rsc.org/Chemical-Sciences-Repository/articles/ Max Espley The Royal Society of Chemistry P.S.
