Focus Issue on Proton-Coupled Electron Transfer Research and Teaching: In Honor of Diane K. Smith
Posted on September 27, 2024 by Beth Schademann
The Journal of The Electrochemical Society is publishing a focus issue in connection with the Advances in Organic and Biological Electrochemistry: In Memory of Diane Smith symposium held at the 245th ECS Meeting in San Francisco, CA, from May 26-30, 2024. This focus issue is dedicated to the scientific topics that inspired Diane K. Smith, professor for 30 years in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at San Diego State University.
Prof. Smith made significant contributions to teaching and research in electrochemistry. The first woman hired into a tenure track position in her department, her research greatly influenced a variety of electrochemical research topics, including organic electrochemistry, supramolecular chemistry, catalysis, and electrochemical energy storage. She was a renowned mentor for members of our community and an outstanding educator.

Peer Review Week 2024: Celebrating the Pillars of Scholarly Integrity
Posted on September 23, 2024 by Adrian Plummer
As we embark on Peer Review Week 2024, running from September 23 to September 27, we reflect on the fundamental role peer review plays in the world of scholarly publishing. The scholarly publishing community, including The Electrochemical Society (ECS), marks this week by celebrating peer reviewers whose diligence and expertise ensure the integrity, quality, and impact of the research published. This year’s theme—Innovation and Technology in Peer Review—embodies the spirit of collaboration and rigorous standards that are essential to advancing science.
Peer review is the backbone of scientific research. Every groundbreaking paper published today is a testament to the peer reviewers assessing the quality and validity of manuscripts submitted for publication consideration. For over 100 years, ECS has been a global leader in advancing electrochemistry and solid state science. This progress has been fueled by the contributions of peer reviewers, who uphold the mission of accelerating advancements in science while maintaining an unwavering commitment to protecting the integrity of the scholarly record. At its core, peer review is a process of scrutiny, correction, and validation. It ensures that research findings are trustworthy, replicable, and based on sound methodologies. This process enables journals to publish work that can reliably contribute to the scientific community’s collective knowledge and helps prevent the dissemination of false or misleading information. Peer reviewers are the gatekeepers, safeguarding the integrity of the scholarly record. (more…)

Interface Spotlight: Sanjay Choudhary and Scott Cushing
Posted on September 12, 2024 by Adrian Plummer
The spotlight is on Sanjay Choudhary and Scott Cushing for “Reports From the Frontier: The Need for a Better Understanding of Passive Films” in Volume 33 of The Electrochemical Society Interface. In the recent article, Dr. Choudhary addresses the pressing need for a deeper comprehension of how alloy composition and microstructure influence the development and distribution of chemical heterogeneities and crystallographic defects within passive films.
