VISION: TO CHALLENGE TODAY’S WORLDWIDE
DOMINATING PRACTICE OF SCIENTIFIC PUBLISHING
NLS Publishers is a new kind of scientific publisher with the aim to challenge the “shareholder value-driven” publishing model, and to offer a viable and financially self-sustaining alternative. We are committed to:
-
shifting the focus from “speed and profit” to “longevity and quality”;
-
acknowledging scientists and their accomplishments on the basis of the intrinsic value of their research and their contribution to scientific knowledge;
-
re-investing profits (when acquired) into new editorial projects to disseminate knowledge in sparsely populated and newly emerging fields;
-
offering the best available scientific, editorial, and technical publishing quality;
-
providing a platform for international networking and interactions, and involving all scientific stakeholders in shaping the future of science.
Journals
Journal of SYSTEMS CHEMISTRY
The term „Systems Chemistry“ emerged, during the Chembiogenesis 2005 Conference in Venice, within the communities researching the origin and synthesis of life, as this has been the most challenging field in Systems Chemistry. However, Systems Chemistry encompasses much more, it offers a plethora of new opportunities for revealing life-like signatures in all areas of chemistry. The Journal of Systems Chemistry will be relaunched on a quarterly basis in print + online (+ open access) in 2018. Its scope will cover the following topics: complex molecular networks, catalytic, autocatalytic, self-replicating, and self-reproducing systems, dynamic combinatorial chemistry, emergent phenomena in molecular networks, information processing by chemical reactions, bifurcation and chiral symmetry breaking, bottom up approaches to synthetic biology and chemical evolution, chemical self-organization inspired by the origin and synthesis of life, the conjunction of supramolecular, prebiotic and biomimetic chemistry, theoretical biology, xenobiology, complex systems physics, and earth, planetary, and space sciences centered in chemistry.

The Emergence of
Systems Chemistry
M.VOLKAN KISAKÜREK (Ed.)
As the „herald“ of the planned relaunch of the Journal of Systems Chemistry, which had been unfortunately discontinued as an open-access journal at the end of 2015, and to revive the memories of the “System Chemists” regarding their “home journal“, this volume compiles 35 contributions published between 2010 and 2015, thereby providing a multifaceted “emergence history” of this highly seminal field.
