Three and Counting

Abstract

Another successful year: The ChemNanoMat editorial team reflects on the highlights of 2016 and discusses new developments. This Editorial kicks off the third volume of ChemNanoMat—how time flies! It seems like just yesterday that we were excitedly waiting for the first submission to arrive. That first milestone occurred just 20 minutes after the submission site opened, and building from that first submission into the young but established journal that ChemNanoMat is today has been a steady and rewarding journey involving many people. Thank you to each and every one of our authors, referees, board members, guest editors, readers, and the Wiley-VCH staff who work tirelessly behind the scenes to make the publication process proceed smoothly. ChemNanoMat wouldn't be here without your contributions and guidance, and we are thankful every day to be able to work with such excellent people from around the globe (Figure 1).

We expect that these numbers will continue to grow and that the journal will be more selective every year, highlighting only the very best work on the chemistry of nanomaterials. We also know that nanoscience is an extremely rapidly moving field, so we continued to work hard this year to optimize our Accepted Article and production workflows to put your papers online even faster than before. We are happy to say that for papers published in 2016 our average publication time (Accepted Article online, before editing and proofing) went down by 25% to 35 days, or about one month after submission. The final typeset version (Early View) was available shortly thereafter (average=58 days). The clear establishment of the journal in the community was also confirmed earlier this year when ChemNanoMat was accepted for indexing in Web of Science. We hope this will make it even easier to find ChemNanoMat papers relevant to your research interests. Looking forward to working with all of you in the year to come—and to receiving your next paper!
