Faraday Discussions

Faraday Discussions is a scientific journal publishing original research papers presented at a long-running series of conferences on physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry which are also called Faraday Discussions, together with a record of the comments made at the meeting. The journal was originally published by the Faraday Society. The journal has been published by the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) since that society merged into the RSC. From 1972 to 1991, it was known as the Faraday Discussions of the Chemical Society. Traditionally there have been three Faraday Discussions a year, however, from 2011 six conferences (and therefore six volumes of the journal) are organised annually.

Philip Earis is the editor of Faraday Discussions and the present chairman of the Standing Committee on Faraday Conferences is Andy Mount (University of Edinburgh). The journal has a 2011 impact factor of 5.000.
