The Centrality of Chemistry

Abstract

We applaud Crimson Publishers for launching the new online journal called Annals of Chemical Science Research. It can be argued that chemistry represents the most commonly shared branch of science and engineering among the various disciplines, including physics, biology, materials, spectroscopy and lasers/ optics – hence its descriptor of centrality. To fully understand and appreciate any field of science (pure and applied), being grounded in the fundamentals of chemistry is essential. This is of course why varying levels of chemistry courses are required by students majoring in any area of science and many areas of engineering.
