SACSIS' Editor in Chief David Alcantara informs about our involvement with The Committee on Publication Ethics

";In striving to continue our tradition of excellence in publishing, we are pleased to announce a new editorial enhancement that collectively seek to strengthen the integrity of the topics covered by our journals. The Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), supports and encourages editors to report, catalogue and instigate investigations into ethical problems in the publication process. It is described in more detail below";.

COPE

COPE (http://publicationethics.org/) is a forum for editors of peer-reviewed journals to discuss issues related to the integrity of the scientific record; it supports and encourages editors to report, catalogue and instigate investigations into ethical problems in the publication process. Formed in 1997, COPE’s major objective is to provide a sounding board for editors who were struggling with how best to deal with possible breaches in research and publication ethics. The All Results Journals, published by the Society for the Improvement of Science (SACSIS), have been added to the list of COPE members.

SACSIS is delighted to announce the appointment of Professor David Diaz Diaz as new Section Editor (Organic Chemistry) of The All Results Journals: Chem Editorial Board.

Prof. Díaz Díaz was born in 1974 in Tenerife (Spain). He received both BSc (1997) and PhD (2002) degrees in Chemistry (University of La Laguna, Spain) under the supervision of Prof. Víctor S. Martín.

In 2002, he joined Prof. Finn’s research group at The Scripps Research Institute (San Diego, USA) for a post-doctoral stay, where he also worked in close collaboration with Nobel Laureate Prof. K. Barry Sharpless. In 2006, he was appointed as a ‘Ramón y Cajal’ Researcher at The Autonomous University of Madrid. In 2007, he joined The Dow Chemical Company (Switzerland) as Chemist III and was promoted to Sr. Chemist in 2008. In 2009, he was appointed as a Tenured Scientist of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) at the Institute of Materials Science of Aragon (CSIC-University of Zaragoza). 

Among several awards, in 2010 he was appointed as an Alexander von Humboldt Experienced Researcher at the Institute of Organic Chemistry, University of Regensburg (Germany). He has published over 100 scientific contributions including research articles, reviews, book chapters and congress proceedings. He is currently an Assist. Professor at this University and a Scientist of the Institute of Chemical Synthesis and Homogeneous Catalysis (ISQCH, CSIC-University of Zaragoza).

His academic research interests include the development of new synthetic methodologies, synthesis of multifunctional polymers, sustainable chemistry, bio-inspired materials and synthesis of functional soft materials for applications in catalysis, electronics, environmental remediation and biomedicine
