Angewandte Chemie gold
Angewandte Chemie, the field leading journal of the German Chemical Society, often carries high quality gold-related articles (indeed, I have commented on this before). However, recently they have gone a step further with the publication of 5 excellent communications and articles in a single issue! What really struck me about this was the sheer diversity of the work - there is a catalysis paper from Masatake Haruta, a GNP-based DNA detection offering from Jin Zhu at Nanjing University and the cover illustration (see left) which was taken from a gold nanorod paper written by Luis M. Liz-Marzán in Vigo.A fantastic illustration of the strength and depth of gold-based research at the moment.

Small journal big on gold
Small, the highly regarded nanotechnology journal, often carries gold-related articles but the latest issue really is a bumper crop. Subjects include generating nano-gaps in gold wires, cancer diagnostics and the front cover highlight detailing the new application of gold nanoparticles in the PCR process. A great issue, well worth a look… -

Nanoscale hits the shelves
The Royal Society of Chemistry has further strengthened its list of publications with a new peer reviewed journal focusing on experimental and theoretical work across the breadth of nanoscience and nanotechnology. The first issue of Nanoscale is now available, and boasts 3 excellent gold-nanoparticle related papers from the groups of Vince Rotello, Moreno Meneghetti and Naomi Halas.The journal is available free in 2009-2010 by registering your details here.

Gold Bulletin – Advance Online Publication?
The Gold Bulletin Editorial Team is considering introducing an advance online publication process for the journal. This would allow papers to appear on the journal’s website before they have a formal issue/page number. Many journals already operate this system including Nature. We would welcome your views on this potential development.

Gold in most-cited and most-accessed Langmuir articles
As chemist’s will know, Langmuir remains one of the premier chemistry journals. Its ISI Impact Factor has increased to 4.097, its highest ever. The journal remains the #2 most-cited in physical chemistry out of 113 journals in the category. The most-cited and most-accessed Langmuir articles in the last 12 months have just been announced and 2 out of 10 were gold-related:Controlled Synthesis of Gold Nanobelts and Nanocombs in Aqueous Mixed Surfactant Solutions
Fluorescence Imaging of the Oxidative Desorption of a BODIPY-Alkyl-Thiol Monolayer Coated Au Bead

Technology transfer through open access
At World Gold Council, our aim in the development of new industrial uses for gold is to aid the transfer of new gold-based technologies into the market place. A large part of our effort is to help promote new research relating to gold which we do through our open-access journal Gold Bulletin. EVERY paper published in Gold Bulletin can be accessed free through the archives. We believe that is the way for the widest possible dissemination to take place.
I was interested to hear yesterday that University College London in the UK have plans to implement an open access policy ensuring that, subject to copyright permissions, all UCL research is placed online and is freely accessible. The move places UCL at the forefront of academic institutions pioneering the move to open access. To me this looks a positive move in helping UCL’s research reach the widest audience…..

Top downloads from Gold Bulletin
As many of you will know, the journal Gold Bulletin is an ‘all electronic’ e-journal, with the pdf files free to download from the publication’s website. As a result it is very easy to use the website’s server records to measure the most popular papers published over a given time frame, in terms of files downloaded. The most recently published issue obviously features highly in this list, but I thought it would be interesting to name the most frequently downloaded papers during 2009 (excluding the most recent issue):
The TOP 5 are (number of downloads in brackets):
Gold catalysed oxidation of carbon monoxide G C Bond & D T Thompson, 2000, 33(2), 41-51
Gold as a novel catalyst in the 21st century: Preparation, working mechanisms and applications Masataka Haruta, 2004, 37(1/2), 27-36
Homogeneous catalysis by gold Stephan Hashmi, 2004, 37(1/2), 51-65
Surface chemistry of catalysis by gold R Meyer, C Lemire, Sh K Shaikhutdinov & Hans-Joachim Freund, 2004, 37(1/2), 72 – 124
The aurophilicity phenomenon: A decade of experimental findings, theoretical concepts and emerging applications H Schmidbaur, 2000, 33(1), 3-10

Most Cited Articles – Langmuir
Gold nanotechnology is undoubtedly one of the ‘hot’ research topics. I was on the website for the chemistry journal Langmuir this morning and was delighted to see that 2 of the Top 5 cited papers published in the journal are focused on gold (click the ‘most cited’ tab on this page).The first paper ‘Alkanethiolate Gold Cluster Molecules with Core Diameters from 1.5 to 5.2 nm: Core and Monolayer Properties as a Function of Core Size is co-authored by CJ Zhong and dates from 1998.
The second is Synthesis of Nanosized Gold-Silica Core-Shell Particles by Luis M. Liz-Marzán, Michael Giersig, and Paul Mulvaney in 1996. Paul Mulvanney will be giving a plenary lecture at the GOLD 2009 conference
