1 Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC)
The RSC today is the most effective international organisation for advancing the chemical sciences Here’s an outline of our activities: Learned society and professional body for chemical scientists Registered charity Global membership organisation (43,000) Carries out a range of activities to promote the chemical sciences to the public Education. The RSC is the largest non-government supporter of chemistry education in the UK; works with government on issues that impact on the education system Science policy. The RSC influences and guides scientific policy in partnership with the chemical science community Parliamentary Affairs (promoting RSC’s interests with the government, input into parliamentary select committees) Campaigns to develop and support chemical sciences to meet the scientific, economic, technological and human challenges of the 21st Century. Recent example is the RSC’s success in lobbying the Government in order to prevent the closure of the chemistry dept at Sussex Univ

4 RSC Publishing – Portfolio
RSC publishing activity dates back to 1841 36 Journals 35,000 submissions (2010) 13,500 articles published (2010) Online journal archive (220,000 articles from 1841) 90+ Books published per year 1,000+ ebooks available Databases, including Analytical Abstracts & ChemSpider Magazines, including Chemistry World Events, Awards, Accreditation We have an active and growing Books program, currently around 40 per year and increasing The RSC publishes 23 journals and has been publishing journals in some guise since 1841. The entire content until 2004 is available electronically in a journals archive. We also publish databases and magazines such as Chemistry World. All the publishing activities are based at our Cambridge office with a staff of 150 people mostly trained chemists. Also LIC based in London

5 RSC JOURNAL RSC电子期刊,由英国皇家化学学会(Royal Society of Chemistry，简称RSC)所发行其出版的期刊及资料库一向是化学领域的核心期刊和权威性的资料库。RSC期刊大部分被SCI和MEDLINE收录，并且是被引用次数最多的化学期刊。 RSC’s 平均影响因子为5.4 ，整个化学科学出版物的平均值为2.38 83%的RSC的期刊影响因子值超过了3.0 * (Source: Thomson ISI) * MEDLINE是美国国立医学图书馆(The National Library of Medicine, 简称NLM)生产的国际性综合生物医学信息书目数据库，是当前国际上最权威的生物医学文献数据库。 * (Science Citation Index, SCI)是由美国科学信息研究所(ISI)1961年创办出版的引文数据库。SCI(科学引文索引 )、EI(工程索引 )、ISTP(科技会议录索引 ) 是世界著名的三大科技文献检索系统，是国际公认的进行科学统计与科学评价的主要检索工具，其中以SCI最为重要。 * 期刊引用报告（Jorunal Citation Reports）简称JCR，是美国科学情报研究所（ISI）编制出版的一部评价期刊的重要工具。它是SCI的副产品
