Preprints
With the addition of the Chinese Chemical Society (CCS) and the Chemical Society of Japan (CSJ) to the list of co-owners, ChemRxiv has become a truly global initiative. The ACES journals are pleased to consider papers initially shared as preprints, and it is possible to directly transfer manuscripts from ChemRxiv to our submission systems. Read more about the connections between preprints and publishing here, and explore our detailed guidelines here.
