Finding Your Peers
(A) Disciplinary Research Journals:
ACS
Journals (USA),
RSC Journals (UK), and
Wiley-VCHJournals (Europe).
Many more journals are published by other national chemistry associations.
In addition, still more journals from commerical publishers (i.e., Elsevier).
(B) Supra-disciplinary Science Research Publications:
Proceeding of the National Academy of Science
from NAS,
Science from AAAS, and
Nature itself.
Do not confuse Nature itself
with the many discipline-specific
NPG Journals.
