RSC Advances is an online-only peer-reviewed scientific journal covering research on all aspects of the chemical sciences. It was established in 2011 and is published by the Royal Society of Chemistry. The editor-in-chief is Mike D. Ward (University of Sheffield).
In 2014, RSC Advances moved to a very high publication frequency, initially about 100 issues per year ( similar to that of ChemComm), but later in the year (and in 2015) turned to even higher frequency—however it is not a continuous journal. In terms of the number of papers published annually, this has increased dramatically from 233 in 2011 to 13,287 in 2016.
In late 2016, it was announced that with effect from January 2017, RSC Advances, the world’s largest chemistry journal would convert from a subscription based journal to an open access journal. Article Processing Charges will be £500 for 2017/2018 and £750 thereafter
The journal is abstracted and indexed in the Science Citation Index Expanded,Current Contents/Physical, Chemical & Earth Sciences, and Scopus.
