Pennington, NJ – (January 2, 2020) – The Electrochemical Society (ECS) announces that as of January 2, 2020, ECS journals are published and available through IOP Publishing (IOPP), the publishing company of the Institute of Physics.
IOPP partners with ECS in the publication of the Journal of the Electrochemical Society and the ECS Journal of Solid State Science and Technology and the hosting of ECS Transactions, ECS Meeting Abstracts, and Interface as well as the hosting of the archives for ECS’s retired publications—ECS Electrochemistry Letters, ECS Solid State Letters, Electrochemical and Solid-State Letters, and ECS Proceedings Volumes.
Christopher Jannuzzi, ECS executive director and CEO, said: “ECS is very pleased to announce the launch of its publishing partnership with IOP Publishing. ECS has a 117+ year reputation for creating outstanding, peer-reviewed periodicals, conference proceedings, and magazines. Together with IOPP, we have over 200 years of experience providing outstanding publishing services for the scientific community. IOPP shares our core values and long-standing commitment to ensure the technical quality of the works published, as well as the integrity and validity of the peer review our community provides.

Clearly, IOPP is the right partner to achieve these lofty goals.”
