This also means that you can publish in Chemical Science for free. We cover the article processing charges (APCs), and your papers are available for anyone to access. Plus, it’s now possible to submit your manuscript in less than 20 minutes because of our simple and easy-to-use submission system. Learn more about diamond open access and what it means.
