Chemistry World has been awarded the Association of Learned and Professional Society Publishers (ALPSP)/Charlesworth Award for Best New Journal.
Best New Journal is a new award for 2004. Applications were invited for any print and/or electronic journal worldwide launched since 2000. The entries were judged on the basis of content, appearance and the effectiveness of the launch campaign.
’We are delighted to win the award. We took a bold decision to start afresh with a completely new membership magazine, closing down an established predecessor. Chemistry World was more than a change of name: radical new designs were used to support a more topical, wide-ranging, higher-quality editorial style, to make our coverage more accessible and relevant to a diverse readership. Our readers have reacted positively. This, combined with this award, motivates us to achieve more in the future,’ said Phil Abrahams, publisher, Chemistry World.
Slightly Foxed: the real reader’s quarterly was highly commended in the same category. The ALPSP/Charlesworth Award for Learned Journals went to the Journal of the Royal Musical Association, published by Oxford University Press, while the RSC’s Organic and Biomolecular Chemistry was highly commended in that category.
The RSC’s Chemical Science was short-listed for the ALPSP’s Award for Publishing Innovation.
ALPSP is an international trade association that helps promote and assist the activities of all not-for-profit publishers.
