Papers and the quest for publication
So it’s taken three years to get there, a lot of stress heartbreak over wrong simulations, and excitement once the results came through. But we are about to get our first (of many hopefully) published.
The paper is due to be published in Physical Chemistry, Chemical Physics (PCCP) a high impact journal by The Royal Society of Chemistry. The paper is entitled “” and considers the catalytic properties of defected Ice Ih on the dissociation of Chloro-flourocompounds (CFCs) which play a fundamental role in ozone depletion. Once the paper is published I will add link and citation here.
The journey was long, however the part that I expected to take the longest time, and from discussion with other people should have been the longest time, was actually the shortest. We received one of the best peers reviews possible with the paper being submitted finally in the original form, no edits were needed to be made.
Overall I am looking forward to having a couple of glasses of wine with friends to celebrate this achievement, which just goes to show that the work we have been doing in the group is being recognised by the scientific community as a whole!
