The Journal of The Electrochemical Society is a monthly peer-reviewed scientific journal covering the field of electrochemical science and technology. It is published by the Electrochemical Society. According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2014 impact factor of 3.266.[1]
History
The Journal of The Electrochemical Society (JES) has been in continuous publication since 1902 under various titles. The journal’s precursor, Transactions of The American Electrochemical Society, published 96 volumes between 1902 and 1949. It was not until 1948 that the Journal of The Electrochemical Society, as it is known today, began publication.
Although JES was originally meant to include only papers presented at Society meetings, in 1952 a mix of unsolicited, as well as meeting papers, began to be published together. Beginning in 1967, JES was divided into 3 sections: Electrochemical Science and Technology, Solid-State Science and Technology, and Reviews and News. The Reviews and News section would later break off to begin Interface in 1992, and the Solid-State Science and Technology section became the ECS Journal of Solid-State Science and Technology (JSS) in 2012.[2]
The Decision to Divide
In the spring 2012 edition of the Society’s quarterly news magazine (Interface), ECS’s decision to split JES was announced in an editorial. Although ECS historically combined the electrochemistry and solid state content in its two journals, the Journal of The Electrochemical Society and Electrochemical and Solid-State Letters, the merged content was a problem with regard to the electrochemistry category in Thomson Reuters’s Journal Citation Reports (JCR).[3]
As this category did not include papers in solid state science and technology, these types of papers published with ECS were not measured against similar content. In order to create proper alignment in the JCR categories, ECS split off the solid state content, out of JES and into a new full-paper journal, JSS, beginning in July 2012. ECS also created two letters journals, ECS Electrochemistry Letters, and ECS Solid State Letters to separate the electrochemistry and solid state content, and these replaced Electrochemical and Solid State Letters.
