General Instructions

Chemistry in Australia is the magazine of the RACI. We publish material of interest to chemists on a wide range of topics. It is a magazine rather than a journal and the articles are not peer reviewed. Articles should be light in technical content and the style should be such that every RACI member would be able to read and enjoy the article, regardless of their educational background. Articles of a highly technical nature will be rejected and would best be directed to the appropriate scientific journal.

In each issue there will be several articles on the feature theme for that issue plus additional secondary articles. Contributions are also accepted for Letters to the Editor, Book and Software Reviews, company profiles and research profiles. Please see recent issues of Chemistry in Australia for examples.
