---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- Subject: Fwd: ACS Creates ChemRxiv From: "Subbiah Arunachalam" Date: Mon, August 22, 2016 11:43 am -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear All: Chemists will soon have their own preprints archive - similar to arXiv for physics and allied fields (and BioRxiv for life sciences). Even so, I believe institutional repositories - such as the ones at Raman Research Institute and the Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute - will be the best option. Especially if they are mandated by funding agencies such as DST, CSIR and DBT. Regards.

The Society is presently in the process of inviting interested stakeholders to participate in helping to shape the service ahead of its anticipated launch.
