American Chemical Society AMA: I am Stefano Tonzani, Executive Editor of
ACS Omega. Ask me anything about the publishing process!
Abstract
Hi Reddit, I am Stefano Tonzani, Executive Editor for ACS Omega
(http://pubs.acs.org/journal/acsodf ), the new multidisciplinary open
access journal from the American Chemical Society. My background is in
science, as a chemist/physicist (simulations of electron-molecule
interaction phenomena, self-assembly, and nucleic acid dynamics, to be
precise). Through my career in publishing I have worn many hats: editor,
business development manager, technical sales, you name it. I am clearly
having fun, as I have been doing in publishing for 8 years now. My first
role was as materials science Editor for Nature magazine; there and in
successive gigs I quickly discovered a passion for developing new
products, which has traveled with me ever since. Ask me anything about
science publishing, what Editors look for in manuscripts, career advice,
open access, starting new journals, and of course my latest baby: ACS
Omega and what we hope to accomplish with it. Time is over for this
session: I hope to talk to you again soon!
