The Electrochemical Society is proud to announce the premiere issue of ECS Advances, the Society’s first Gold Open Access journal spanning all ECS topical interest areas. This multidisciplinary forum of peer-reviewed, high-quality content covers all technical areas supported by the Society. ECS Advances publishes original full-length work, brief communication-style papers, perspectives, review articles, and special issues. The new journal leads and promotes scholarly communication and interaction among scientists, engineers, and technologists pursuing research in electrochemistry, solid state science, and related technologies.

The Electrochemical Society is proud to announce the inaugural issue of ECS Sensors Plus, the home for all content related to sensors technology. The new journal leads and promotes scholarly communication and interaction among scientists, engineers, and technologists whose primary interests focus on materials, structures, properties, performance, and characterization of sensing and detection devices, methods, and systems, including sensor arrays and networks.

Preparing a sensors manuscript? Make ECS Sensors Plus your publication of choice. Submit your article today to be included in the next issue. ECS Sensors Plus is free to publish and free to read. Article processing charges (APCs) are waived for 2022.

The Electrochemical Society is excited to invite you to our on-site “Meet the Editor” event at the 241st ECS Meeting. Five esteemed editors of our family of journals will be at the ECS booth to connect with you; answer your questions on journal processes; and discuss editorial opportunities and the vision for ECS Publications growth. As you determine your personal meeting schedule, take this opportunity to connect directly with ECS Publications Editorial Team members! (more…)

For over thirty years, The Electrochemical Society Interface magazine has been the voice of ECS members. The Society’s for-members by-members publication has shared announcements of great achievements, awards, and milestones; technical information; and hot topics from the community—including announcements of losses and memorials. For years, ECS members enjoyed having Interface reach their mailboxes and rest on their coffee tables. However, the organization has grown and its membership spans the globe. The importance of minimizing one’s carbon footprint has risen in criticality. Therefore, as the organization seeks to expand its reach digitally, Interface will no longer be printed, packed, and shipped to members. It will be available exclusively on the ECS Digital Library.

ECS Sensors Plus and ECS Advances

The Electrochemical Society is excited to announce the addition of two new gold open access journals to its family of high-quality publications! 

ECS Sensors Plus

ECS Sensors Plus is a multidisciplinary, open-access journal that provides an international platform to publish high-quality impactful articles, and promote scholarly communication and interactions among scientists, engineers, and technologists whose primary interests are focused on mechanisms, materials, structures, properties, performance, and characterization of sensing and detection devices and systems, including sensor arrays, networks, and actuators. The goal of ECS Sensors Plus, as a one-stop shop journal for sensors, is to advance the fundamental science and understanding of sensors and detection technologies for efficient monitoring and control of industrial processes and the environment, and improving quality of life and human health.

During his ECS Masters Interview at the 2016 ECS PRiME Meeting, John Goodenough vulnerably disclosed that as a child, he had dyslexia and could not read like others his age. He described leaving home at the age of 12 for an affluent boarding school as a struggling scholarship student. Stories were shared about life events that led John on the path of science and discovery, as well as the individuals who supported and guided him along the way. And when asked about the dissemination of scientific content, John imparted his belief that scholarly societies are essentially in the business of fostering partnerships to serve the community at large. He emphasized the role of societies in creating space to convene the community to further scientific advancement.

The editorial teams of the ECS Journal of Solid State Science and Technology and Journal of The Electrochemical Society have come together in the spirit of this belief. They are publishing a focus issue comprised of 80+ select invited papers celebrating and honoring the life, legacy, and contributions of beloved professor and longtime ECS member Dr. John B. Goodenough.

The full issue is scheduled to be available in May 2022—just two months before John’s 100^th birthday.

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 25-31, ECS will take down the paywall to the entire ECS Digital Library, making over 165,000 scientific articles and abstracts free and accessible to everyone.

2021 theme

This year’s theme, “It Matters How We Open Knowledge: Building Structural Equity,” supports ECS’s long-term vision of Free the Science by providing access to all in order to further advance the research—and echoes the Society’s commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in scholarly publication. 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.
