CHICAGO, August 27, 2026 . NEW HORIZON PRESS LIMITED participated as an exhibitor at ACS Fall 2026 , held from August 23 to 27 in Chicago, connecting with researchers, scholars, and students from around the world and introducing its academic journals and publishing initiatives to the international scientific community.
Organized by the American Chemical Society, ACS Fall 2026 brought together researchers working across chemistry and related disciplines. The meeting highlighted advances in chemistry, materials science, environmental science, energy, health, and interdisciplinary research , while also reflecting several broader trends shaping contemporary science.
Among these trends were a growing focus on sustainability, stronger connections between fundamental research and real-world challenges, and increasing attention to how scientific findings are communicated and shared with wider audiences.
This marked the second consecutive year that NEW HORIZON PRESS LIMITED participated in the ACS Fall exhibition , following its presence at ACS Fall 2025. Continued participation has provided opportunities to engage directly with researchers, learn about emerging scientific directions, and strengthen connections across the global research community.
"Scientific publishing is not only about communicating results after a study is completed. It is also about listening to researchers, understanding where scientific fields are moving, and helping important findings reach the communities that can benefit from them," said a representative of NEW HORIZON PRESS LIMITED. "ACS Fall provides a valuable opportunity to meet researchers face to face and better understand their priorities, challenges, and expectations for scholarly communication."
At the exhibition, NEW HORIZON PRESS LIMITED placed particular emphasis on Biochar and Carbon Research and introduced attendees to the broader New Community journal portfolio .
Alongside Biochar and Carbon Research, the portfolio collaborates with academic publications including Agricultural Ecology and Environment, Artificial Intelligence & Environment, Biochar X, Biocontaminant, Energy & Environment Nexus, Environmental and Biogeochemical Processes, New Contaminants, Nitrogen Cycling, Sustainable Carbon Materials, and Lignin Research .
Throughout the meeting, researchers, scholars, and students from different countries and institutions visited the exhibition booth to learn more about the journals' aims and scope, research priorities, and publication opportunities.
Conversations covered a wide range of research areas, including biochar, carbon materials, environmental science, energy, resource recycling, artificial intelligence for environmental applications, and related interdisciplinary topics . These exchanges also provided an opportunity to hear directly from researchers about their publishing needs and the changing ways in which scientific work is communicated and discovered.
The discussions demonstrated that researchers increasingly consider not only where their findings are published, but also how research can reach appropriate scientific communities, gain international visibility, and contribute to wider academic and societal conversations.
For NEW HORIZON PRESS LIMITED, participation in ACS Fall 2026 therefore extended beyond presenting individual journals. The meeting provided a platform for direct scientific exchange, for learning about emerging research priorities, and for building connections among researchers across disciplines and institutions.
Looking ahead, NEW HORIZON PRESS LIMITED will continue to engage with the international research community, follow emerging developments across relevant scientific fields, and support the global dissemination and communication of high-quality research through scholarly publishing and multi-channel science communication .
