Editorial for January 2016 for JPC A/B/C

of Molecular Collisions XXV: Fifty Years of Chemical Reaction Dynamics. Although we have limited capacity for special issues, we continue to seek suggestions for new special issues that highlight leading-edge research in physical chemistry. Feature Articles. Thirty-two Feature Articles published in the journal during 2015 are listed in Table 3. For JPC A, Feature Article topics have included organic aerosols, interstellars anions, proton accommodation at water surfaces, multilayer TDHF, state-resolved reactivities, matrix isolation studies, fast photoinduced reactions, and XSAPT methods. For JPC B, topics have included protein−protein interfaces, ionic liquids, DNA damage, correlations in liquids, rate theories, metalloproteins, vibrational energy transfer, and chiral SFG. For JPC C, the topics have been photovoltaics, porous silica, photoelectrodes, nanoparticles at liquid/liquid interfaces, atomic diffusion in metal nanocrystals, photoelectrochemical hydrogen production, nonlinear optical microscopy, sum frequency generation, oxygen electrode reactions, hybrid perovskite semiconductors, band gap engineering in perovskites, perovskite photovoltaics theory, condensed phase carbonate mixtures, and iron nitrides. Authors or readers who have ideas for possible Special Issues, Virtual Issues, or Feature Articles are encouraged to contact one of the editors. Viewpoint Articles. We added Viewpoint Articles as another publication type this year. There have been several published in JPC Letters as well as one in JPC A, which focused on the International Symposium on Molecular Spectroscopy held at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in June(2015, 119 (37), 9570 DOI 10.1021/acs.jpca.5b07385). JPC Lectureships. The JPC Lectureships are awards given to younger scientists from any country who have a record of publishing in JPC, are members of the Physical Division of the ACS, and have made major impacts on the field of physical chemistry in the research areas associated with each journal section. The 2015 JPC Lectureships were awarded to JPC A: Christine M. Aikens, Kansas State University JPC B: Joseph E. Subotnik, University of Pennsylvania JPC C: Prashant K. Jain, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Each award winner gave a terrific lecture at the ACS National Meeting in Boston in a session that immediately preceded the joint JPC/Physical Division reception on Tuesday evening. We will be awarding the JPC Lectureships again in 2016 and look forward to the lectures, which will be given at the Fall ACS National Meeting in Philadelphia. Social Media. We continue to maintain an active presence on Twitter (@JPhysChem) and Facebook (http://www.facebook. com/home.php?#!/JournalofPhysicalChemistry). If you have news of broad interest to the physical chemistry community, please contact the Coordinating Editor, Davine Henderson, at [email protected]. We thank our JPC office staff in Evanston, the Deputy Editor Assistants, and the many Journal Assistants for their tireless work to make the journal run smoothly and efficiently. We are looking

est wishes for the New Year to the authors, readers, and reviewers of The Journal of Physical Chemistry (JPC). This year we celebrate the 120th anniversary of the founding of JPC. Only 10 papers were published in the journal in 1896, but the enterprise has grown and grown, and in 2015 we published over 6000 papers. Also, we have the highest number of citations of any of the journals in physical chemistry. We thank the authors and reviewers of the journal for continuing to support this worldwide community effort. Our journal editors are both accomplished scientists and hard-working editors, so it is not surprising that there have been several transitions among our editors in 2015. Jim Lisy and Mike Duncan retired from their duties as Senior Editors after each serving the Journal for extended periods (Lisy for 10 years, Duncan for 17 years). These two were terrific editors in all respects, and we will sorely miss them. Several new Senior Editors have been appointed including Andy Gewirth (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign), Kwang Kim (UNIST, Korea), and most recently Amy Mullin (University of Maryland). We welcome them to our group. The Deputy Editors of JPC play a major role in journal operations, providing key leadership in selecting invited content and in handling appeals. These are Anne McCoy (now at the University of Washington), Deputy Editor of JPC A, Joan-Emma Shea (University of California at Santa Barbara), Deputy Editor of JPC B, and Cathy Murphy (University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign) as Deputy Editor of JPC C. Unfortunately Zachary Pozun, Managing Editor, has recently left to take a research position in the government. We wish him well in his new add sentence at end of paragraph: We hope to have a new Managing Editor in place in early 2016. ACS Editors’ Choice, Open Access. ACS Editors’ Choice is a program whereby one newly published paper each day from all of ACS journals is posted online and openly accessiblefor all to read (http://pubs.acs.org/editorschoice/). The Editors of the ACS journals suggest papers for this distinction, a committee of Ph.D. chemists at the ACS makes final selections, and the ACS sponsors the costs of open access. We continue to have a large number of JPC papers included in ACS Editors’ Choice (Table 1). We strongly urge our readers to look at the papers that are posted daily in ACS Editors’ Choice. ACS Editors’ Choice is one of several activities that the ACS initiated in 2014 as part of the ACS Open Access Initiative. For complete details see http://acsopenaccess.org/. Special Issues. We published several special issues in 2015, as summarized in Table 2. Festschrift issues were done for William L. Jorgensen, Markku O. Räsänen, Mario Molina, Jacopo Tomasi, Jean-Michel Mestdagh, John R. Miller and Marshall D. Newton, Steven J. Sibener, Branka M. Ladanyi, Biman Bagchi, Wolfgang Lubitz, and three chemists at Argonne National Laboratory, namely, Lawrence B. Harding, Joe V. Michael, and Albert F. Wagner. We also did meeting symposia on Photoinduced Proton Transfer, the 25th Austin Symposium, Current Trends in Clusters and Nanoparticles, and Dynamics © 2016 American Chemical Society
