This month has been announced the appointment of Prof. Antoni Llobet and Dr. José A. Berrocal as members of the Editorial Advisory Board of two journals from the American Chemical Society (ACS).

Prof. Antoni Llobet will be a member of the Editorial Advisory Board (EAB) of a new journal focused on artificial photosynthesis. The new ACS journal titled “Artificial photosynthesis” aims to bring together the best research conducted in this area and provide a comprehensive response to the needs of this emerging scientific branch.

“ACS is one of the most prestigious publishers of scientific journals in the world, and my appointment as a member of the EAB is a recognition of the tasks accomplished by my research group in this discipline over the past 20 years,” declares Prof. Llobet. He is also a member of the EAB of “Catalysis Science and Technology” from the Royal Society of Chemistry and “European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry” from Wiley-VCH.

Dr. José A. Berrocal joins the EAB of ACS Macro Letters, one of the most important specialized journal in polymers worldwide. The journal publishes research in all areas of contemporary soft matter science in which macromolecules play a key role, adopting all communications that were formerly published in ACS Macromolecules and ACS Biomacromolecules.

“ACS Macro Letters is one of the leading journals in the field of polymer science, certainly one that provides me with many interesting articles to read. I take this as a token of appreciation and encouragement to our young group. I am excited about the opportunity to collaborate with exceptional colleagues and contribute to the continued advancement of polymer science.” quotes Dr. Berrocal.

The ICIQ is honored by the recognition that important scientific journals give to their group leaders by considering them to be part of their editorial advisory board.
