Giant indexed in Web of Science’s ESCI

Giant is now indexed in the Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI), meaning that articles are now discoverable in Web of Science.

Launched at the end of 2019, open-access journal Giant focuses on publishing quality content and advancing research in the fundamental and applied macromolecular science field.

We are delighted to announce that Giant is now indexed in Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI). This further demonstrates that Giant is a reliable and high-quality source of information in your field; a title trusted and recognized by the community, where your hard work will be discovered and read by many thousands of researchers and institutions worldwide.

This development means increased visibility and profile for both the journal and the articles it publishes. In addition, ESCI indexing is a necessary precursor to a journal being accepted into Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) with an Impact Factor and further increasing the journal’s exposure to global research audiences. 

On this important occasion, we would like to highlight the following articles for you to read:

• Self-assembled helical superstructures of polystyrene-b-poly(2-vinyl pyridine) with inversed helicity from induced chirality
  Che-Chia Yang, Puhup Puneeta, I-Ming Lin, Yeo-Wang Chiang, Rong-Ming Ho
• Effect of branching architecture on the self-assembly of symmetric ABC-type block terpolymers
  Luyang Li, WeihuaLi
• Combating antibiotic resistance: Current strategies for the discovery of novel antibacterial materials based on macrocycle supramolecular chemistry
  Lingyan Gao, Haojie Wang, Bo Zheng, Feihe Huang
• Out of equilibrium coil-helix transition driven by chemical fuels
  Wang Zeng, Che Fan, Xupu Xing, Hao Cheng, Huimin Fu, Bingxu Ma, Ziqiong Yang, Rui Zhang, Wei Zhang
• Tuning the helical sense and elongation of polymers through the combined action of the two components of tetraalkylammonium-anion salts
  SeilaLeiras, Esteban Suárez-Picado, Emilio Quiñoá, Ricardo Riguera, Félix Freire
