The systems for communicating chemical information are evolving as swiftly as the discoveries that underpin the science from peer-reviewed academic journals and curated databases, to new outlets such as pre-print servers and data repositories. There are many opportunities within this environment for chemists looking to start a career in scientific publishing. This talk will provide an overview of some of these roles, providing insights into life working in journals, peer review, scientific ethics, journal management, chemical databases, people management, open science and research data, from the perspective of a reformed organometallic chemist working at the Royal Society of Chemistry – a not-for-profit society publisher dedicated to advancing excellence in the chemical sciences.
