The Current Opinion journals were developed out of the recognition that it is increasingly difficult for specialists to keep up to date with the expanding volume of information published in their field. In Current Opinion in Electrochemistry, we help the reader by providing in a systematic manner:1. The views of experts on current advances in electrochemistry in a clear and readable form. 2. Evaluations of the most interesting papers, annotated by experts, from the great wealth of original publications.Submission of articles to Current Opinion in Electrochemistry is by invitation only; unsolicited submissions cannot be accepted. Authors who feel that they have a topic suitable for publication in one of the sections in this journal, are invited to contact our Editorial Office, [email protected] with a proposal of no more than 1000 words. You must specify to which Section your proposal would apply. The decision whether or not to accept your proposal lies with the invited Section Editor - whose decision will be final.Division of the subject into sectionsThe subject of electrochemistry is divided into 12 themed sections, each of which is reviewed once a year:• Bioelectrochemistry • Electrocatalysis • Electrochemical Materials and Engineering• Energy Storage: Batteries and Supercapacitors• Energy Transformation• Environmental Electrochemistry• Fundamental & Theoretical Electrochemistry • Innovative Methods in Electrochemistry• Organic & Molecular Electrochemistry • Physical & Nano-Electrochemistry • Sensors & Bio-sensors • Surface ElectrochemistrySelection of topics to be reviewed:Section Editors, who are major authorities in the field, are appointed by the Editors of the journal. They divide their section into a number of topics, ensuring that the field is comprehensively covered and that all issues of current importance are emphasised. Section Editors commission reviews from authors on each topic that they have selected.Reviews:Authors write short review articles in which they present recent developments in their subject, emphasizing the aspects that, in their opinion, are most important. In addition, they provide short annotations to the papers that they consider to be most interesting from all those published in their topic over the previous year.Editorial Overview:Section Editors write a short overview at the beginning of the section to introduce the reviews and to draw the reader's attention to any particularly interesting developments.Invited authors are encouraged to visit our Guide for Authors for information on article submission.
