Susan King, Ph. D., Senior Vice President, ACS Journals Publishing Group, noted that scientific knowledge has been one of China鈥檚 most impressive, but least visible, exports. 鈥淪cientists in China now account for about 1 out of every 10 papers published in high quality, high impact ACS journals,鈥� King said. 鈥淲e are proud to have these talented scientists among our authors. We hope that the new Chinese-language site will encourage news media in that country to publish stories that make the authors鈥� families, neighbors, and colleagues more aware of how this world-class research improves everyday life.鈥�
