Our history

The magazine was first formed as Chemistry in Britain in 1965 when the Chemical Society and the Royal Institute of Chemistry merged their two monthly publications, Proceedings of the Chemical Society and the Journal of the Royal Institute of Chemistry. Chemistry in Britain was relaunched as Chemistry World in 2004, expanding its scope to represent and reach a global audience while continuing its tradition of excellence in science journalism.
