The article presents ethical guidelines to publication of the "Journal of Chemical Society." An editor should give unbiased consideration to all manuscripts offered for publication, judging each on its merits without regard to race, religion, nationality, sex, seniority, or institutional affiliation of the author. An author's central obligation is to present an accurate account of the research performed as well as an objective discussion of its significance. Fragmentation of research reports should be avoided. A scientist who has done extensive work on a system or group of related systems, should organize publication so that each report gives a well-rounded account of a particular aspect of the general study.

The article presents information on the scope and limitations of the editorial policy of the "Journal of the American Chemical Society." The "Journal of the American Chemical Society," (JACS) is published weekly and is devoted to the publication of fundamental research papers in all fields of chemistry. Articles, Communications, Book Reviews and Computer Software Reviews are published. Submission of a manuscript to JACS is contingent upon the agreement by all the authors that the reported work has not received prior publication and that no portion of this or any other closely related work is under consideration for publication elsewhere in any medium, including electronic journals, computer databases, and publicly accessible preprint Web sites.

The article reports on the launch of a series of podcasts called "Bytesize Science" by the American Chemical Society (ACS). It mentions that the podcasts translate research from the peer-reviewed journals of the ACS, along with content from "Chemical & Engineering News," into lively stories about science, health, medicine, energy, food and other related topics. It notes that new episodes of the podcast are posted every Wednesday and available without charge.

The article provides information related to membership benefits offered by the American Chemical Society (ACS).
