ECS is set to hold it’s fourth annual Free the Science Week in 2020. From March 30-April 5, ECS will take down the paywall to the entire ECS Digital Library on IOPscience, making over 160,000 scientific articles and abstracts free and accessible to everyone.
Started in 2017, the week supports ECS’s long-term vision of Free the Science by providing access to all in order to further advance the research. The research published in ECS’s publications 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 seeks Publications Content ManagerReports to: Director of Publications
Classification: Full Time, Non-Exempt
MAJOR FUNCTION
Manages development and production of ECS’s conference proceedings publication, ECS Transactions, and the Society’s books program. Serves as main point of contact and provides a high level of customer service (including technical support) to both issue editors and meeting authors. Provides assistance in the management of the ECS publications, specifically with respect to ECSarXiv along with oversight and daily management of nontechnical publications content on ECS’s website and within the ECS Digital Library.
The Electrochemical Society relies upon the technical expertise and judgement of the many individuals who, as reviewers, help to maintain the high standards characteristic of the Society’s peer-reviewed journals. In 2019, 3,693 individuals supported the Society’s long-standing commitment to ensuring both the technical quality of the works published, as well as the integrity and validity of the peer review the community provides. ECS greatly appreciates the time and effort put forth by these individuals, and the Society would like to express a sincere thank-you for their hard work and support. (more…)
The Electrochemical Society honors 2019 Nobel Chemistry Prize laureates, John B. Goodenough, M. Stanley Whittingham, and Akira Yoshino, by the launch of a new collection highlighting their scientific contributions published by ECS. In addition, ECS recognizes their contributions in the winter 2019 issue of Interface, now available online.
Goodenough, Whittingham, and Yoshino have been deeply involved with The Electrochemical Society—as members, authors, editors, fellows, meeting participants and organizers, awardees, and more. Their publications with ECS, to varying degrees, trace the history of the development of the Lithium-ion battery, the revolutionary invention for which they shared the 2019 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
