The RSC journal Chemical Science will move to gold open access in 2015. The journal was launched in 2010 and covers all areas of the chemical sciences.
To ease the transition to open access, the Royal Society of Chemistry will waive the article processing charges for at least two years.

Would you like to publish an article with the Royal Society of Chemistry in open access at no additional cost?
In 2013 the Max Planck Society has a subscription license to all RSC journals. With this license, we are receiving several tokens, which will allow articles by MPG-authors to be published in open access on the RSC website without paying the normal Article Publication Fee (APF). This is a new open access ‘experiment’ by the RSC called Gold for Gold.

The final report of the project “Science as an open enterprise” has been published by the Royal Society of Chemistry in June. The project investigated the use of scientific information. There is a growing amount of scientific data and scientist should take advantage of its potential. The report points some key areas for action out including increased openness, common standards and reusability of published data.
