Publication of Symposium-Based Books
with the American Chemical Society
The American Chemical Society has a long-standing
reputation for high-quality publications that are well
recognized within the scientific community. ACS Books
publishes books that are developed from ACS symposia.
Symposium organizers are encouraged to consider developing
an ACS Symposium Series book from their symposia. These
volumes are designed to present recent advances within
a field in one comprehensive book and to document the
science presented at ACS meetings. Publication in the
ACS Symposium Series
Provides a venue for rapid publication in areas
that are changing and developing rapidly.
Augments the work the organizers have put into coordinating
symposia.
Supports future funding of symposia by divisions
from royalty revenues generated from sales.
Papers accepted for publication undergo peer review,
conducted by the book editors, and final manuscripts
are prepared in camera-ready format by the authors.
ACS Books encourages symposium organizers to consider
the development of the symposium and the proposed book
as parallel projects; this type of planning effects
a better organized symposium and a book that provides
comprehensive coverage of the topic.
