“When we launched ACS Central Science five years ago, our goal was to elevate the visibility of chemistry as ‘the central science,’” says Carolyn Bertozzi, Ph.D., editor-in-chief, ACS Central Science. “Now, as we extend that vision through the ACS Central Science Disruptors & Innovators Prize, I am excited to seek out and recognize a renowned scientist — or group of scientists — whose work embodies the ‘centrality of chemistry.’”
“Since its launch as our first fully open access journal, ACS Central Science has been a vanguard, publishing exceptional research at the interface of chemistry and other disciplines,” says James Milne, Ph.D., senior vice president of the Journals Publishing Group within ACS Publications. “The ACS Central Science Disruptors & Innovators Prize perfectly complements the journal’s ethos by recognizing an individual or group who, through their innovative research, is advancing the central science.”
