CrystEngComm

CrystEngComm was one of the first online-only chemistry journals when it was established in 1999.{{cite journal |last1=Wilkinon |first1=S.L.|year=2000 |title=Electronic Journals Gain Ground |journal=Chemical & Engineering News |volume=78 |issue=33 |pages=33–38 |doi=10.1021/cen-v078n033.p033 }} Initially, articles were published online as soon as they were accepted and the journal did not publish articles in issues. However, in 2000 issues were introduced and the journal was published monthly.{{cite journal |last1=Humphrey |first1=J.|year=2006 |title= Happy New Year from CrystEngComm|journal=CrystEngComm |volume=8 |issue=1 |pages=9–10 |doi=10.1039/B517671A |bibcode=2006CEG.....8....9. }} As submissions increased, the journal switched in 2011 to a biweekly publication.{{cite journal |last1=Humphrey |first1=J.|year=2011 |title= From 2011, twice as much CrystEngComm!|journal=CrystEngComm |volume=13 |issue=1 |pages=21–23 |doi=10.1039/C0CE90024A |bibcode=2011CEG....13...21. }} Authors can elect to have accepted articles published as open access.[http://www.rsc.org/Publishing/Journals/OpenScience/index.asp RSC Open Science]

The journal has been involved in the development of nomenclature for crystal engineering,{{cite journal |last1=Thayer|first1=A.M.|year=2007 |title=War of the Words |journal=Chemical & Engineering News|volume=85 |issue=25 |pages=28 |url=http://pubs.acs.org/cen/coverstory/85/8525coverbox.html |accessdate=26 February 2011}}{{cite journal |last1=Bond|first1=A.D.|year=2007 |title= What is a co-crystal?|journal=CrystEngComm |volume=9 |issue= 9|pages=833–834 |doi=10.1039/B708112J |bibcode=2007CEG.....9..833B }}{{cite journal |last1=Metrangolo|first1=P.|last2=Pilati |first2=T |last3=Resnati |first3=G.|year=2006 |title= Halogen bonding and other noncovalent interactions involving halogens: a terminology issue|journal=CrystEngComm |volume=8 |issue= 12|pages=946–947 |doi=10.1039/B610454A |bibcode=2006CEG.....8..946M }} which is gradually being adopted by researchers in the field.{{citation needed|date=March 2013}}
