Dear Psi-K members,

I am pleased to inform you that Digital Discovery, a Royal Society of Chemistry open access journal on automated and high-throughput research, is now open for submissions.

Digital Discovery publishes top research at the intersection of chemistry, materials science and biotechnology. Blurring the barriers between computation and experimentation, we focus on the integration of digital and automation tools with science, putting data first to ensure reproducibility and faster progress.

This gold open access journal is now accepting submissions, and all article processing charges are currently waived.

Submit your research to Digital Discovery

Alán Aspuru-Guzik, Editor-in-Chief, Digital Discovery:

“I am excited to be Editor-in-Chief of Digital Discovery. In its pages, we aim to capture the top research at the intersection of chemistry, materials science and biotechnology with topics related to machine learning and high-throughput computational and experimental screening in order to accelerate the process of scientific discovery. The "digital transformation" of the chemical industry is a huge driver for the twenty-first century and we want this journal to be the premier venue for papers related to this topic.”

Digital Discovery welcomes both experimental and computational work on all topics related to the acceleration of discovery such as screening, robotics, databases and advanced data analytics, broadly defined, but anchored in chemistry.

Access all areas

Digital Discovery is gold open access with APCs waived until mid-2024, giving maximum exposure to research that benefits multiple disciplines and accelerates understanding.

Data comes first

We welcome all datasets, and support a FAIR approach to build a comprehensive, holistic view of experimentation that allows digital tools to thrive and communities to collaborate

Actively seeking innovation

We like to err on the side of creativity, pushing boundaries not only in what we publish but how we publish it – think transparent peer review and tools for fast submission

Dynamic and global

Our editorial board are experts in handling papers that exist at the edge of current thought, welcoming computational and experimental research and emphasising reproducibility
