The Electrochemical Society and Wiley have renewed a publishing partnership to enhance ECS’s book series with the goal of publishing multiple titles per year. ECS’s long-time sponsored series in publishing cooperation with Wiley provides authoritative, detailed accounts on specific topics in electrochemistry and solid state science and technology. Through this partnership, the Society is able to offer the research community access to world-class editors, marketers, and product designers to ensure that from writing the first word to reaching the first reader, the ECS community has a robust support network of publishing professionals to help an author develop and publish their best work.

ECS is set to participate in its sixth International Open Access Week, an annual event organized by SPARC, the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition. From October 19-26, ECS takes down the paywall to the entire ECS Digital Library on IOPscience, making over 160,000 scientific articles and abstracts free and accessible to everyone.
This year’s theme, “Open with Purpose: Taking Action to Build Structural Equity and Inclusion,” supports ECS’s long-term vision to Free the Science by providing access to all in order to further advance research. ECS publications showcase research that directly addresses the sustainability of the planet. Electrochemistry and solid state science continue to hold the keys to innovation in renewable energy, biomedical applications, water and sanitation, communications, transportation, technology, infrastructure, and beyond.
ECS Plus launched in 2016, and since its inception has flourished as a transparent read and publish transformative agreement.
If your institution subscribes to ECS Plus, you are granted full access to all the content available in the ECS Digital Library on IOPscience. By claiming one of your unlimited article credits, you may also publish articles free of charge as open access in ECS journals.
As an author affiliated with an ECS Plus subscriber, publishing your work as open access is easy. (more…)

Fall is here and with the changing of the leaves comes the arrival of Interface. As we are still affected by the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic, we decided to publish the fall 2020 issue of Interface in a digital format only. As a member of the Society, I’m thrilled to give you a first glimpse into our most recent issue. Published today, it focuses on a very timely topic, Electrochemistry for a Sustainable World, guest edited by Paul Kenis.

Focus Issue on Semiconductor Wafer Bonding: Science, Technology, and Applications
The ECS Journal of Solid State Science and Technology is publishing a focus issue in connection with the Semiconductor Wafer Bonding: Science, Technology, and Applications 16 Symposium that took place during PRiME 2020.
Submissions are open to all authors working in this field, including authors who presented during PRiME 2020.
Wafer bonding as stacking and joining of semiconductor and similar wafers is an important process step in microelectronics, microsystems, and related technologies. It allows the realization of engineered substrates like SOI wafers for modern microelectronics, 3D integration for very high-density electronics, capping and integration of MEMS, silicon based micro fluidics, and thin wafer processing, for example. Wafer bonding processes are typically very complex. The materials of the substrates and bonding layers, the physical understanding of the actual wafer bonding process, and its successful and reproducible execution in product development and production, specialized equipment, characterizations and metrology are all very important. The significance of wafer bonding and the complexity of the related technologies ensures that it is a very interesting field of research and development, which attracts many industry and institutional researchers.

Optimizing ECS Content Access Using IOPscience Preferred Browsers
Posted on August 31, 2020 by Beth Craanen
IOPscience is IOP Publishing (IOPP)’s online publishing platform, and host of ECS content since the beginning of 2020. Users experiencing issues in downloading ECS content from IOPscience should first check that they are using an IOPP preferred browser. IOPP now only works with browsers which receive regular security updates from Microsoft, for example Edge, Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. Internet Explorer (IE) is not an IOPP preferred browser because it is no longer supported by Microsoft and does not receive regular security updates. (more…)
