Early-Career Researchers in Chemistry

Dear Colleagues,

As the guest editors of a timely, topical and high-quality collection titled “Early-Career Researchers in Chemistry” in Molecules, we are delighted to announce this exciting initiative, and we are particularly encouraging “Early-Career Researchers” in all areas of chemistry around the world to take part. This collection will bring together the latest high-quality contributions from early-career researchers in chemistry actively working in all fields of chemistry at the early stages of their careers (i.e. within the first 5 years of their independent career).

We invite submissions of original research and review articles from early-career researchers that explore contemporary issues in all fields of Chemistry for inclusion in this topical collection of Molecules. A preliminary review of the submissions by the editors will be conducted to assess suitability, after which the peer review process will begin.

This initiative is designed to increase the visibility and reputation of early-career researchers in the chemical research community with a focus on quality, innovation and breakthrough research.
