Revving up for 2018. In this editorial we take a look back on the achievements of the last year at ChemistrySelect (see graphic and find out what we have in store for next lap of the race.). Having got to such a flying start in 2016, ChemistrySelect has kept up the momentum going round lap 2 in 2017. Figure 1 gives an overview of what we achieved in 2017. The journal is now indexed on Web of Science and has been accepted for indexing on Scopus. “In pole position” our most highly cited paper so far is “Ion Mobility Separations of Isomers based upon Long Path Length Structures for Lossless Ion Manipulations Combined with Mass Spectrometry” by Richard D. Smith et al. Table 1 gives the top ten most-cited papers so far over the last two years. News from the cockpit—some of the top statistics for ChemistrySelect from 2017.

Parans Paranthaman and co-workers, an extensive collaboration by groups at the Oakridge National Laboratory, Wake Forest University, Georgia Institute of Technology and The University of Tennessee. Good collaborations make for a winning team! Speaking of winning teams, for those of who are always on the move, you can now keep up with the latest papers published in ChemistrySelect with a brand new app that combines the apps for Angewandte Chemie together with those of all other ChemPubSoc Europe journals, Asian Chemical Editorial Society (ACES) journals. Users can select their favorite titles from the portfolio in the app and use their own or their institution's access to full text wherever they go at no extra cost. The search functions cover articles on the device and online. A key feature of the app is the ability to download individual articles or entire issues for offline reading, as well as the tailor-made browsing and reading experience for tablets and smartphones. Issue or keyword alerts are a convenient way to stay up to date in your field. A newsfeed from ChemistryViews.org lets you explore what else is going on in chemistry. The app is available for iOS and Android—get the new team app now! To help you in the preparation of your manuscripts we are pleased to announce the release of a new version of the Wiley SSR 13C NMR data checker. It has been estimated that at least 10–15% of 13C NMR datasets in the literature contain mistakes. Examples of errors found during development and testing of the NMR data checker so far include typos, missing data, inconsistent numbers of peaks between peak lists and spectra, incomplete peak lists, and incorrect structures. With machine learning and automated data collation becoming more prominent in data management and analysis, it's more important than ever that authors and publishers check and correct data wherever possible before publication. This tool is designed to help you to check the quality of your 13C NMR spectral data before submission to a journal. To keep pace with the increasing number of submissions, in 2018 we will increase the number of issues from 36 to 48. In addition from January 1st 2018 the ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) for all submitting correspondence authors will be required on submission of all papers to ChemistrySelect. This requirement will also apply to the Angewandte Chemie as well as our ChemPubSoc Europe and ACES sister journals. An ORCID is a unique digital identifier that belongs to a particular researcher, regardless of discipline, and is intended to help solve the name disambiguation problem. It can be used to indicate your professional affiliations, and it can also be easily linked to your publications. Registration is free and takes only about 30 seconds. If you want to find out more about the concepts behind ORCID, see the latest interview with Alice Meadows (director of Communications for ORCID) on ChemistryViews (“Your Lifelong Digital Name”, 10.1002/chemv.201600091). Also coming up in 2018—a new look for Wiley Online Library. In the fall of 2016, Wiley acquired Atypon, a leading software development company for online publishing. In early 2018, Wiley Online Library will be upgraded to Atypon technology. We're looking forward to the new look and feel and exciting development opportunities. Lining up on the grid of ChemPubSoc Europe journals this year we welcome Batteries & Supercaps to ChemPubSoc Europe team in 2018. Batteries & Supercaps is aimed to become a top-ranking journal on all aspects of battery research, from fundamentals to applications, including engineering aspects. The journal publishes primary research papers and critical secondary information from authors across the world. Batteries & Supercaps will publish an attractive mixture of Communications and Articles, Minireviews and Reviews, Highlights presenting concise evaluations of highly relevant current chemical research, Concepts emphasizing important developments in a specific area and their implications for future research. The fields of interest include: pure and applied battery research, battery electrochemistry, electrode materials, cell design, battery systems and applications, hybrid battery systems. Submit your paper today (www.batteries-supercaps.org). Winning the publishing race is not always easy and sometimes you find you may not have enough speed to keep up on the formula one circuit. The transfer service that our sister journals offer provides the author with the option of a quick and easy transfer to a more suitable journal and the chance of winning the race on a different track. Figure 2 shows you how this works. It′s simple—just by clicking on the link given in the decision e-mail you can transfer all the relevant data to a sister journal, for example, ChemistrySelect, without the need to retyping in all the relevant submission information. In addition the referee the reports are also smoothly transferred and are taken into consideration at the new journal. Thus, taking up an offer of a transfer can give your paper the extra spurt needed to get it to the winning publication line. Transfers—how do they work? (ChemistryViews) Finally, on behalf of our Editorial Board chairs, Didier Astruc (Université Bordeaux, France), Hélène Lebel (Université de Montréal, Canada), An-Hui Lu (Dalian University of Technology, P.R. China), and the entire ChemistrySelect team at Wiley-VCH, we would like to express our appreciation once again to everyone who has helped make our second time round the circuit such a success. A big thank you goes to our board members, referees, authors, and readers for their support of the journal in its second year! Dr. Anne C. Deveson Editor-in-Chief
