Speed on the face!After the IF18+top publication publishing the editorial of social resistance, the deputy editor was exposed to fake

American Chemical Society (ACS) is one of the top issues in the chemistry field.

Since the journal has created it, he has experienced two world wars in more than a hundred years of history, constantly pursuing the truth and step by step. ACS has many sub -publishers, which are brilliant in various fields of physics and chemistry.

ACS NANO was officially published in 2007. In 15 years, the influence factor has soared to 18.027, and it has become the top issue of ACS's nanomaterials.

As a rapidly developing industry top issue, on the one hand, it is also frequently plagued by academic incompetence. The most surprising thing is that Professor Young Hee Lee, the deputy editor -in -chief of the ACS NANO journal, and its deputy editor -in -chief, and South Korea's nano -material Da Niu, was suspected of fraud.

This can't help but make people wonder. ACS Nano is going to dig the grave by himself. Is it a self -destructive future?

01 Top Ten Masters "Huashan On Sword"

In 2019, ACS Nano's ten editors went to Orando to hold a meeting every two years, and jointly published a society entitled "Redefining The Experimental and Methods Section".

Since the creation of the journal, the journals have developed rapidly, but academic incompetence problems and academic ecological construction are followed. Even under the strict peer review system, it is easy to produce fish leakage. In recent years, the experiments have not been repeated to make many topics.

In response to the above phenomena, ten editors of the journal went to Orlando, which clarified the writing requirements of the experimental part. It is called on everyone to seek truth from facts, rigorous and scientific, be responsible for the experimental process, and be responsible for their research.

ACS NANO Ten Edites jointly published

The editorial emphasizes the repeatability and continuity of the experiment. This is an important content that allows other scholars to repeat the experimental process and further expand research.

Therefore, on the basis of the writing requirements of the existing experimental part, the journal also requires additional "pits" encountered during the experiment, that is, some problems encountered during experiments to provide a pits for other scholars' recovery; Some new content is: experimental security issues, which allows some experimental novice to pay attention to these hidden safety hazards when repeating experiments. In short, how detailed the experimental part can be written and more detailed, and strive to do nothing!

The joint statement of the top ten editorial boards allows scientists to feel the determination of the period of purification of the period, the intention of strengthening the academic standards, and the confidence of becoming the top issue in the industry. These not only point out the clear direction and specific requirements for scientists, but also make an example for peers and lead everyone to build a good academic atmosphere.

02 Family Gate unfortunately disaster the Xiao Wall

Who would have thought that the top ten editors in the previous period were jointly issued to help the construction of academic atmosphere; later, the deputy editor was suspected of forging data and slammed the face.

Academician of the Korean Academy of Sciences and national scholar, Mr. Young Hee Lee, is the deputy editor of ACS NANO. He is the top scientist in the field of nanomaterials. He is also hired as a foreign academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Professor Li Yongxi (Young Hee Lee) (picture source: ACS NANO homepage)

In the second year after the journal editor held a seminar, Professor Li Yongxi, as the editorial board of the journal, was suspected of having data fraud. Professor Li was published on the top nano-scientific journal Nature Nanotechnology, an article entitled "Layer-Controlled Single-Crystalline Graphene Film with Stacking Order Via Cu-Si Alloy Formation". There are obvious errors in electronic diffraction data.

Subsequently, Professor Li's team submitted a correction of the dissertation in December 2020 and calmed down the incident.

The top ten editors of the 2019 issue have publicly emphasized the importance of the experimental data, and as the deputy editor of their own, the following year was questioned the data fraud. Although this incident did not affect the journal's trust in Li Yongxi (at present, there is no), it has a great impact on the reputation of the journal.

03 Industry rookie development is rapid

Although the Li Yongxi incident has a certain impact on the reputation of the journal, it is still difficult to hide the glory of ACS Nano as a journal star.

ACS NANO reached 18.027 announced some time ago, ACS Nano reached 18.027. Since its inception in 2007, the impact factor has risen all the way, up 13%compared to 2020. According to Web of Science and Scopus databases, ACS NANO temporarily ranks fourth in the field of nanomaterials, with only 1.8 points in the third place Advanced Functional Materials. Journal Citation Reports

Of course, measuring the high quality of a journal cannot just look at the impact factor. In 2012, the annual self-exposure of the annual journal rose to above 2000, and it has remained within the range of 2100-2600. The spontaneous quotation rate declined all the way from 19%in the early days of the pioneering journal and stabilized at 3%. The total number of overshadows is in stark contrast, and it has made great progress all the way. In 2021, the total cause number has reached more than 70,000. Combined with the average number of other argles and annual volume of each paper, it can be seen that the quality of the journals is excellent and well -recognized by the industry.

The total number of journals and spontaneous causes of scopus retrieval

With the continuous increase in domestic scientific research, domestic nanomaterials disciplines have developed rapidly, and Chinese scholars have gradually become a comparable scientific research force with American scholars. In the ACS NANO, 7,192 are basically the same as the United States' 7345 articles.

Different countries retrieved by Web of Science

Although the gap between us and the world's top universities has gradually narrowed, there are still some shortcomings, especially in the field of semiconductor materials manufactured by chip manufacturing, we still have a lot of room for improvement.

At the end of last year, the American Chemistry Society announced an important decision: Professor Chen Xiaodong, Nanyang University of Science and Technology, Singapore, will officially serve as a new editor of ACS NANO since 2022.

https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acsnano.1c11078

ACS NANO published an editorial of Professor Chen Xiaodong in January this year- "A New Chapter of ACS NANO: Streangthening The Impact with A Global Engagement". In the article, he has made new planning and prospects for the future development of ACS Nano.

Shortly after the new editor -in -chief at the beginning of this year, the journal announced that it would usher in the Chinese deputy editor -in -chief of the Chinese. Her joining will further improve the authority of the journal in the field of photocatalytic, and provide new ideas for the periodical discussion of world energy issues.

Although the journals are constantly turning and twists and turns, they are still in a benign development status. The editorial committees are also committed to building it into a world -leading comprehensive journal. This year, the editorial committee team continues to inject new blood. How will the journals usher in and develop? Let's wait and see.
