Call For Proposals: In Focus: Basic Research to Broader Impacts

Our existing In Focus series at ACS Central Science was created to provide a platform for resources and perspectives of broad interest and significance: articles that connect communities, accelerate progress, and illuminate work that has impacts beyond a single scientific subdiscipline.

We now extend this vision with a new thematic series, “In Focus: Basic Research to Broader Impacts,” which will highlight compelling stories that trace research from fundamental insight into real world application. We welcome articles that reveal how basic discoveries lead to new methodologies, industries, public health tools, sustainability practices, or educational innovations.

For further information about this series, check out the introductory Editorial.

What Are In Focus Articles at ACS Central Science?

These are resources of broad significance to the chemistry community or of public interest. The format is intended to be digestible for a broad audience and foster uptake and wide dissemination of the work to bridge communities and accelerate scientific advancement.

How to Submit an Article to this Series

In Focus Articles are invited by the editorial team, and researchers can submit proposals for topics about which they wish to write. If your proposal is approved, you will be invited to submit an In Focus for consideration at ACS Central Science.

Proposals for contributions to this series can be submitted to the Editorial office: eic@centralscience.acs.org. If you have any questions, please contact the Managing Editor at managing-editor@centralscience.acs.org.
