To celebrate and promote the many achievements of women investigating the myriad aspects of electrochemistry, the Journal of The Electrochemical Society is announcing a focus issue on Women in Electrochemistry, to be published in 2022. The Electrochemical Society (ECS) celebrates the achievements of women researchers from all over the world with the aim of reducing gender inequality in STEM.
The issue is open to research papers and communications reporting new research results, methods papers discussing analytical techniques and standards, review papers looking at the history and development of specific fields, and perspectives on the future of certain areas of research. Showcasing the outstanding work of a growing list of eminent and talented female scientists, it pulls together the entire scope of topical interest areas covered by the Journal of The Electrochemical Society. In addition, the issue will be edited by 50 top female scientists from around the world, with their direct input on the peer-review of each submission.
The sole requirement for submission is that a female researcher is the primary author or co-author responsible for the study reported or opinions expressed. Male co-authors are welcome, as the issue aims to celebrate the diversity of our community, in addition to the important advances being made by women in the sciences.
This virtual issue welcomes submissions in all topical interest areas of the Journal of The Electrochemical Society and papers covering the following topics:
- Batteries and Energy Storage
- Corrosion Science and Technology
- Electrochemical/Electroless Deposition
- Electrochemical Engineering
- Fuel Cells, Electrolyzers, and Energy Conversion
- Organic and Bioelectrochemistry
- Physical and Analytical Electrochemistry, Electrocatalysis, and Photoelectrochemistry
- Sensors
- Historical perspectives of Women in Electrochemistry
- Challenges and issues faced by women researchers, potential solutions, policy changes, etc.
Accepting Submissions: August 5, 2021 | Extended Submission Deadline: December 19, 2021
(When submitting, indicate that the paper is intended for the Women in Electrochemistry focus issue)
