Summary
Angewandte Chemie updated its governance and article types in 2021. Further changes in 2022 include new International Advisory Board members and the adoption of eLocators.
Area of Science:
- Chemistry
- Scientific Publishing
Background:
- In 2021, Angewandte Chemie implemented significant structural changes, including a new governance model with ten Advisory Editors.
- The journal also redefined its International Advisory Board (IAB) and introduced novel article types to enhance its offerings.
Discussion:
- These updates reflect a strategic evolution aimed at improving journal operations and content dissemination.
- The introduction of new article types and governance structures signifies a commitment to adapting to the evolving landscape of scientific communication.
Key Insights:
- The establishment of a new governance structure and redefined International Advisory Board (IAB) were key developments in 2021.
- The introduction of new article types broadened the scope and format of published research.
Outlook:
- Angewandte Chemie is set to continue its evolution in 2022 with the addition of five new IAB members.
- A significant upcoming change is the transition from traditional page numbers to electronic locators (eLocators) for article identification.

A balanced chemical equation provides the information of chemical formulas of the reactants and products involved in the chemical change. A reaction’s stoichiometry helps predict how much of the reactant is needed to produce the desired amount of product, or in some cases, how much product will be formed from a specific amount of the reactant.
The relative amounts of reactants and products represented in a balanced chemical equation are often referred to as stoichiometric amounts.

23.3K
The use of enzymes by humans dates to 7000 BCE. Humans first used enzymes to ferment sugars and produce alcohol without knowing that this was an enzyme-catalyzed reaction. Wilhelm Kuhne coined the term 'enzyme' in 1877 from the Greek words ‘en’ meaning ‘in’ or ‘within’ and ‘zyme’ meaning ‘yeast.’

Chemical substances interact in many different ways. Certain chemical reactions exhibit common patterns of reactivity. Due to the vast number of chemical reactions, it becomes necessary to classify them based on the observed patterns of interaction.

01:04Electrochemistry: Overview
2.5K
Electrochemistry is the branch of chemistry that studies the relationship between electrical quantities and chemical reactions, particularly oxidation and reduction. Oxidation is the loss of electrons from a substance, whereas reduction refers to the gain of electrons. A substance with a strong electron affinity is called an oxidizing agent (oxidant), and a reducing agent (reductant) is a species that donates electrons. Oxidation and reduction processes are pivotal to electrochemical reactions,...

Chemical equations represent the identities and relative quantities of substances involved in a chemical reaction. The substances undergoing reaction are called reactants, and their formulas are placed on the left side of the equation. The substances generated by the reaction are called products, and their formulas are placed on the right side of the equation. Plus signs (+) separate individual reactant and product formulas, and an arrow (→) separates the reactant and product (left and...

01:10Radical Chain-Growth Polymerization: Overview
2.8K
Chain-growth or addition polymerization is successive addition reactions of monomers with a polymer chain. In radical chain-growth polymerization, the reaction proceeds via a free-radical intermediate. The free radical is formed from radical initiators, which spontaneously generate free radicals by homolytic fission. Organic peroxides (such as dibenzoyl peroxide, as shown in Figure 1) or azo compounds are popular radical initiators. A low concentration ratio of radical initiator to monomer is...
