ACS publications

Advances in Chemistry Series was founded in 1949 by the American Chemical Society as an outlet for symposia and collections of data in special areas of topical interest that could not be accommodated in the Society s journals. It provides a medium for symposia that would otherwise be fragmented, their papers distributed among several journals or not published at all. Papers are refereed critically according to ACS editorial standards and receive the careful attention and processing characteristic of ACS publications. Papers published in Advances in Chemistry Series are original contributions not published elsewhere in whole or major part and include reports of research as well as reviews since symposia may embrace both types of presentation.

The American Chemical Society maintains the chemistry.org website at http // chemistry.org/portal/Chemistry. One can access Chemical Abstracts (CAS) from this site. The site lists meetings and publications and includes a careers and jobs site and an online store. American Chemical Society (ACS) publications at http // pubs.acs.org provides its members information products and services. Currently, over 30 magazines and peer-reviewed journals are published or co-published by the Publications Division.

The prototype of QualAId currently in existence is one small part of the total framework needed for a useful expert system. The objective of QualAId is to provide advice on how much and what type of QA/QC is needed for various types of environmental analyses. The rules for determining these needs have been derived from the American Chemical Society (ACS) publication, "Principles of Environmental Analysis, (2) and from various protocols and recommendations of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). 

All three formats are approved by the ACS, but the vast majority of ACS publications employ one of the two numerical formats (the hrst two options listed above).

Communication through advertising, teaching, and educational materials are also seen as useful to get the message out and market green chemistry. The many American Chemical Society (ACS) publications Kathryn Parent presented are one avenue. Both the ACS s Journal of Chemical Education and The CPT (Committee on Professional Training) news-...
