IUPAC

To evaluate the feasibility of an e-mail journal for rapid and early communications on Green Chemistry according, but different, to well documented models (i.e. archivok, http://newsletter.arkat-usa.org ) for Organic Chemistry or arXiv, http://arxiv.org for physics and mathematics)

GRIC will be a referred on-line Journal that aspires to achieve a high impact value by the excellent quality of publications. GRIC is intended to be published monthly.
Articles will be propagated to the scientific community in form of short communications or full papers announcing the research goal and philosophy, the basic results and their impact onto the sustainable chemistry.
Either experimental or theoretical results will be included.
These peculiarities will allow GRIC to coexist with other green chemistry journals without competition.
This typology of electronic journal is not yet present in the publishing panorama; noteworthy, it may be easily expected that this need will be quickly filled by the most important Chemical Societies.
It is expected that GRIC will greatly contribute to spread a more realistic and positive image of chemistry. This will give benefits to chemical industry. Indeed GRIC will help to fill the gap between research and technology stimulating linkages between academia and industry. Moreover GRIC will made widely available to the interested people information and recent results of studies on Green Chemistry on a worldwide basis offering the opportunity of increasing partnership by establish interaction and cooperation between groups involved in the same research topic.
