Preprint servers making waves in chemistry community

Chemical science publishing is in the midst of a seismic shift, something that was made clear at the 254th American Chemical Society National Meeting and Exposition in Washington, DC during a panel discussion about the new chemistry preprint server ChemRxiv. Announced a year ago by the American Chemical Society (ACS) ChemRxiv recently went live in a beta version on 14 August.
