The Polish Journal of Chemistry was a peer-reviewed scientific journal on chemistry and the official journal of the Polish Chemical Society. The journal covered all fields of pure chemistry (physical, theoretical, inorganic, organic and bioorganic) as well as medicinal, macromolecular and supramolecular chemistry, and molecular modelling. It was established in 1921 under the title Roczniki Chemii (ISSN 0035-7677) and obtained its later title in 1978. The last editor-in-chief was Z. Galus (University of Warsaw).
The December 2009 issue was the last to be published since the Polish Chemical Society joined the ChemPubSoc Europe consortium to become one of the founders of the European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry and the European Journal of Organic Chemistry.
Famous quotes containing the words polish, journal and/or chemistry:
“Use the stones of another hill to polish your own jade.”
—Chinese proverb.
“Unfortunately, many things have been omitted which should have been recorded in our journal; for though we made it a rule to set down all our experiences therein, yet such a resolution is very hard to keep, for the important experience rarely allows us to remember such obligations, and so indifferent things get recorded, while that is frequently neglected. It is not easy to write in a journal what interests us at any time, because to write it is not what interests us.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“...some sort of false logic has crept into our schools, for the people whom I have seen doing housework or cooking know nothing of botany or chemistry, and the people who know botany and chemistry do not cook or sweep. The conclusion seems to be, if one knows chemistry she must not cook or do housework.”
—Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (1842–1911)
