2010 has seen ongoing and significant growth in Nanoscale submissions. From the synthesis of nanomaterials to self-assembly and molecular organisation, from nanophotonics to biomimetic materials, from theoretical modelling to nanofabrication of devices; the work published in Nanoscale's mix of Reviews, Feature Articles and original research articles appeals to researchers in academia and industry, covering the whole breath of nanoscience and nanotechnology.
For some examples of our great content see Table 1, where we have put together some of our most accessed articles since our launch. For more information on the scope, different article types and author guidelines, visit our website at www.rsc.org/nanoscale.

We invite you to join the list of leading researchers publishing in Nanoscale by submitting your best research today via our online submission service.
The Editors are supported by our Editorial Offices in Beijing and Cambridge, with a team of highly-qualified professional Publishing Editors overseeing the publication of Nanoscale; the whole team are committed to offering an exceptional service to our authors, referees and readers.
Our international Advisory Board of expert researchers is also growing; we want to welcome to the Nanoscale team our two new members Pedro Gómez-Romero (CSIC-UAB, Spain) and Hong-Bo Sun (Jilin University, China).
The high quality research published in Nanoscale continues to be a source of news; with Piero Baglioni's article on art preservation (10.1039/C0NR00255K) and Yen-Hsun Su's article on gold nanoparticle induced luminescence in leaves (10.1039/C0NR00330A) being featured in Chemistry World, and the latter was also highlighted in New Scientist.
Nanoscale has more exciting issues planned on hot topics across the scope of the journal, including ‘Surface Nanotechnology for Biological Applications’, ‘Optical Materials’, ‘Lithography’, ‘Enabling Platforms in Nanotechnology’ and ‘Modelling for the Nanoscale’. If you have a suggestion for a new themed issue, please do contact us at E-mail: nanoscale@rsc.org.
We will continue to sponsor a variety of relevant international scientific meetings in 2011 and plan to award Poster Prizes to some of the best up-and-coming new scientists in nanoscience and nanotechnology. If you have any suggestions for conferences where we could offer sponsorship or prizes please do let us know at E-mail: nanoscale@rsc.org.
Don't forget that you can also sign up to our free table-of-contents alert and Nanoscale Newsbites newsletter at www.rsc.org/alerts.
We always welcome your comments, suggestions and feedback; please contact us at E-mail: nanoscale@rsc.org.
From our part, we'll carry on working hard, making sure we are there for the broad nano-community we serve.
Happy New Year!

But we don't rely on just one or two titles to boost our average. It's our entire collection that counts: of the top 20 journals in the multidisciplinary chemistry category, 25% are from RSC Publishing; and 90% of our titles have an IF over 3.
Our list of titles continues to grow: Food & Function and Catalysis Science & Technology are the latest titles to join our expanding portfolio. Plus, the number of articles we've published has increased by 74% in the last 2 years alone. We remain committed to providing a world-class publishing service to our authors, and delivering cutting-edge chemical science to readers throughout the world.
The IF and article growth figures provide a clear indication that more researchers than ever before are recognising journals from the RSC as a key resource to access the very best research.
Nearly 1000 eBooks, equating to one third of a million pages, the RSC eBook Collection delivers outstanding online research and opinion in a multitude of areas of the chemical sciences. Nine new RSC eBook Subject Collections offer additional flexibility.
With over 90 new print titles planned for 2011, including: second editions of seminal texts; and new RSC Polymer Chemistry and RSC Metallobiology series launching, our contribution to chemistry collections worldwide is diverse, topical and high impact. Expect another first class collection of best selling chemical science titles in 2011.
The new RSC Publishing platform has been developed in consultation with the international scientific and librarian community. Together we have identified the best and most valued interface and features that connects you with the highest quality scientific research. With one single search box, easily access our books, journals and databases for students, academics, researchers, scientists and professionals.
• All content of our newest journals for the first 2 volumes
• Any articles that are part of a special free access promotion (e.g. ‘hot’ papers, web theme issues, etc.)
• All journal content published more than two years ago (dating back to 1997)
• A sample chapter from each book in the RSC eBook Collection
With your username and password you can access the free content any time, any place – all you need is internet access. Register at www.rsc.org/personalregistration.
If your institution is a current customer with IP registered, you will be able to access all free content. Other institutions can apply for free online access to our newest journals using our online form: www.rsc.org/freeaccess.
ChemSpider provides access to:
• millions of chemical structures
• an abundance of additional property information
• tools to upload, curate and use the data
