Official Journal "Photochemical & Photobiological Sciences" (PPS)
PPS meets the growing information needs of scientists working in the areas of photochemistry and photobiology, and indeed, encourages a synergism between these two important research areas. This international journal is published monthly on behalf of the European Society for Photobiology (ESP), the European Photochemistry Association (EPA), the Asia and Oceania Society for Photobiology (AOSP) and the Korean Society of Photoscience (KSP), and is available in both print and electronic formats.
PPS' 2023 impact factor is 3.1 according to the data released by Clarivate's Web of Science.
Photobiological Sciences is covered by the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS), Science Citation Index (SCI), Research Alert, Chemistry Citation Index (CCI), Biochemistry & Biophysics Citation Index (BBCI), Current Contents/Physical, Chemical & Earth Sciences (CC/PC&ES), MEDLINE and Index Medicus.
Please have a look at the content of the latest issues and the advance articles. All active ESP members have free access to PPS (and Topics in Current Chemistry) after signing in at the "reserved area" (https://www.photobiology.eu/user/login)
