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.
Normally three Faraday Discussion conferences (and therefore three volumes of the journal) are organised annually by the RSC.
Philip Earis is the editor of Faraday Discussions and the present chairman of the Standing Committee on Faraday Conferences is Dwayne E. Heard, (Leeds, UK).
The journal has a 2010 impact factor of is 4.538.[1]
History of Faraday Discussions meetings and publications
The Faraday Discussions are held each spring, summer and autumn, usually in the United Kingdom but sometimes overseas. Proofs of the 20-25 invited and contributed selected papers are circulated to participants well in advance of the meeting. Since each paper has been read in advance, the actual meeting is able to concentrate on debate. The whole of the proceedings is subsequently published including submitted discussion remarks which include those that "the contributors said, or think they said or wished they had said".
There are well established links with a number of European societies, including the Division de Chime Physique of the Société Française de Chimie, the Deutsche Bunsen Gesellschaft, and the Associazione Italiana di Chimica Fisica. Joint European meetings are now held annually and there are international relationships worldwide both at Divisional and Specialist Interest Group level.
