INFORMATION SERVICES THE AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY (ACS) ACHIEVES ITS GOAL TO BE AN INDISPENSABLE PROFESSIONAL AND INFORMATION RESOURCE FOR MEMBERS AND OTHER CHEMISTRY-RELATED PRACTITIONERS THROUGH TWO PUBLISHING DIVISIONS, CAS AND ACS PUBLICATIONS. THESE DIVISIONS PROVIDE SIGNIFICANT SERVICES TO ACS MEMBERS AND THE GLOBAL SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY WITH ACCURATE, TIMELY, AND AUTHORITATIVE CHEMICAL AND RELATED SCIENTIFIC INFORMATION. CAS PROVIDES SCIENTIFIC INFORMATION SOLUTIONS, PARTNERING WITH INNOVATORS AROUND THE WORLD TO ACCELERATE SCIENTIFIC BREAKTHROUGHS. CAS EMPLOYS EXPERTS WHO CURATE, CONNECT, AND ANALYZE SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE TO REVEAL UNSEEN CONNECTIONS. FOR OVER 100 YEARS, SCIENTISTS, PATENT PROFESSIONALS, AND BUSINESS LEADERS HAVE RELIED ON CAS SOLUTIONS AND EXPERTISE TO PROVIDE THE HINDSIGHT, INSIGHT, AND FORESIGHT THEY NEED SO THEY CAN BUILD UPON THE LEARNINGS OF THE PAST TO DISCOVER A BETTER FUTURE. CAS PROVIDES POWERFUL INFORMATION SOLUTIONS, INCLUDING THE CAS SCIFINDER DISCOVERY PLATFORM(TM) AND THE STN IP PROTECTION SUITE(TM) THAT IMPROVE PRODUCTIVITY AND HELP ADVANCE DISCIPLINES - BE IT IN CHEMISTRY AND RELATED SCIENCES OR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. CAS'S BROAD-BASED, EASY TO USE SOLUTIONS DRIVE DISCOVERY AND DEEP INSIGHTS FOR THE SCIENTIFIC ENTERPRISE THAT LEAD TO INNOVATIONS RANGING FROM PRODUCT IMPROVEMENTS, TO REVELATIONS THAT SOLVE SOME OF THE WORLD'S BIGGEST PROBLEMS IN AREAS FROM TREATMENT OF DISEASE, TO SUSTAINABLE ENERGY, OR TO GLOBAL FOOD SUPPLY NEEDS. CAS ALSO BRINGS THE UNIQUE CAPABILITIES TO DESIGN CAS CUSTOM SERVICES THAT MAXIMIZE THE STRATEGIC IMPACT OF SCIENTIFIC INFORMATION, INCLUDING DIGITAL ASSETS, POWERING DATA-DRIVEN DECISIONS AND ENABLING ORGANIZATIONS TO INNOVATE MORE EFFICIENTLY. IN 2020, CAS PARTNERED WITH GLOBAL INNOVATORS TO SPEED DISCOVERY IN DEVELOPING VACCINES AND THERAPEUTICS FOR COVID-19 RESEARCH, LEVERAGING INSIGHTS FROM THE COMPREHENSIVE CAS CONTENT COLLECTION. CAS ALSO CONTINUED TO INCREASE THE SOPHISTICATION OF ITS SCIENTIFIC INFORMATION SOLUTIONS INCLUDING INTRODUCING NEW RETROSYNTHESIS CAPABILITIES, AS WELL AS BIOSEQUENCE SEARCHING AND FORMULATIONS CAPABILITIES, AS EXAMPLES. STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS ALSO EXTENDED THE VALUE DELIVERED TO INNOVATORS THROUGH INITIATIVES THAT INCLUDED MAKING CHEMICAL SAFETY INFORMATION READILY AVAILABLE, EXTENDING PATENT RESEARCH CAPABILITIES, AND EXPANDING ACCESS TO THE CAS CONTENT COLLECTION, AMONG OTHERS. Through an unparalleled commitment to quality, reliability, and innovation, ACS Publications serves the global scientific community as the leading publisher of peer-reviewed research journals in the chemical and related sciences, and the leading news magazine of the chemical world. In 2020, ACS published 65 peer-reviewed journals, disseminating cutting-edge articles across a broad spectrum of scientific disciplines. The breadth and scope of the Society's journals is unparalleled, stretching across chemistry, physics, and biology. Noted for their high quality, rapid time to publication, and high impact, ACS journals are available at more than 5,000 academic, governmental, and corporate institutions worldwide. In 2020, ACS Publications took the lead in making all COVID-19 relevant content free-to-access, supporting the fight against the virus and increasing public awareness through relevant C&EN and journal articles. A single COVID-19 article authored by CAS scientists, peer reviewed and published in ACS Central Science, rapidly attracted over 300K downloads globally, demonstrating the quality, relevance and interest in this material. Despite the disruption to staff, editors, researchers and all other stakeholders, ACS journals still grew in submissions, usage and citations. ACS Publications also implemented a bold move to support Open Access publishing, with the development of JACS Au and nine 'ACS Au' pure open access journals. These journals will support European researchers whose funders intend to restrict their publishing options to only open access journals. JACS Au published its first articles during 2020 and the nine 'ACS Au' titles, spanning the breadth of chemical research will open to submissions January 2021. In 2020, ACS Publications continued its strong record of service to the global community of researchers in the chemical and related sciences - 62,000 articles were selected for publication within the society's peer-reviewed journals, through a rigorous editorial process that has solidified the society's publishing portfolio as one of preeminence in terms of global influence, and subsequent literature citations and impact factor ranking metrics. The portfolio of ACS peer reviewed journals continues to represent the most trusted, most cited, most read scientific publications in their respective fields. During 2020 key editorial and quality metrics increased positively, with 172 million full text article downloads; 3.6 million total citations reported, and 31% of journals achieving their highest ever Impact Factor. In addition to the development of JACS Au and nine 'ACS Au' pure open access journals, ACS' portfolio of peer reviewed journals was further strengthened with a number of important strategic launches: ACS ES&T Water and ACS ES&T Engineering; ACS Agricultural Science & Technology and ACS Food Science & Technology; and Accounts of Materials Research, developed and launched in close partnership with ShanghaiTech University. To accommodate the dramatic increase in off-campus use of ACS journals due to the global pandemic, several new remote access options were enabled, including SeamlessAccess, GetFTR, and Google CASA. These new remote access options ensured researchers could continue to easily download subscribed journal content while away from their campus or corporate network. Building on ACS' leading activities and engagement with Open Access (OA), the Society has significantly grown the reach of transformative 'Read & Publish' agreements to cover hundreds of institutions globally. These programs couple subscription access licensing with open access publication credits and encourage open access publishing while OA funding sources remain uncertain. ACS Publications increased the scale of open access publishing to 8,400 articles, an increase of 40%. To support the research community, ACS Publications is continually honing and improving the services it provides throughout the publication process. ACS journals are renowned for providing among the fastest time-to-publication in the industry. During 2020, ACS Publications deployed four Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology solutions, immersed within journal operations to improve researcher experience; streamlined and standardized numerous editorial workflows to improve author experience; and introduced new global service vendors to improve author service and time to publication. In 2020, all ACS journals published a joint editorial entitled "Confronting Racism in Chemistry Journals" condemning racism and committing to key actions toward combating racial bias in ACS journals: annually reporting on demographic statistics; training editors to recognize and interrupt bias in peer review; including journal diversity in the evaluation of Editor-in-Chief performance; appointing an ombudsperson to serve as a liaison between Editors and the chemistry community; developing diversity plans for each ACS journal. ACS Publications also introduced a landmark policy for researchers who wish to change their names for reasons including gender identity, marriage, divorce, or religious conversion. During 2020, despite the global pandemic, C&EN continued to provide coverage of the chemical enterprise without impact on the frequency or quality of its content. All COVID-19 related stories were made freely available as a public service. - C&EN broke all prior web usage records, receiving more than 8.7 million users, who visited the cen.acs.org site more than 11 million times and viewed over 14 million pages. - Integrated C&EN in CAS's SciFinder, increasing the discoverability of C&EN content and giving SciFinder users a new path to ACS membership through C&EN's metered paywall. - Launched C&EN's email course, C&EN's Grad School Survival Guide - an 8-week series of essays and resources developed in collaboration with ACS Education and with funding support from the Genentech Foundation.

EDUCATION AND MEMBERSHIP SUPPORTING EXCELLENCE IN EDUCATION IS A STRATEGIC GOAL OF ACS. ACS RESOURCES, SERVICES, AND PRODUCTS FOSTER THE DEVELOPMENT OF INNOVATIVE, RELEVANT, AND EFFECTIVE CHEMISTRY AND CHEMISTRY-RELATED EDUCATION THAT PREPARES A SCIENTIFICALLY LITERATE CITIZENRY AND HIGHLY QUALIFIED CHEMICAL WORKFORCE READY TO ADDRESS GLOBAL CHALLENGES. IN 2020, ACS PROVIDED FORMAL AND INFORMAL EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES, INSTRUCTION, AND MENTORSHIP VIRTUALLY. ACS REACHED OUT TO NUMEROUS ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS,TEACHERS AND PARENTS IN NEW AND INNOVATIVE WAYS. ACS PROVIDED A NEW GENERATION OF UNDERGRADUATE AND GRADUATE STUDENTS AND FACULTY WITH OPPORTUNITIES TO LEARN SKILLS THAT THEY WILL NEED TO COMPETE AND SUCCEED AS THEY MOVE FORWARD WITH THEIR CAREERS. THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF CHEMISTRY TEACHERS (AACT) LAUNCHED IN 2014, IS THE FIRST NATIONAL, CHEMISTRY-SPECIFIC ASSOCIATION OF ITS KIND DEDICATED TO K-12 TEACHERS. AACT ENDED 2020 WITH MORE THAN 8,000 MEMBERS, A 20 PERCENT GROWTH SINCE 2019. IN 2020, THE ACS WEBSITE FOR THE "GET THE FACTS OUT" PROJECT WAS PROMOTED, PROVIDING INFORMATION AND A TOOL KIT FOR CHANGING THE MISPERCEPTIONS AROUND CAREERS IN TEACHING SCIENCE AND MATH IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS. ONE OF FIVE SCIENTIFIC SOCIETIES THAT ESTABLISHED THE INCLUSIVE GRADUATE EDUCATION NETWORK IN 2019, ACS ESTABLISHED THE ACS BRIDGE PROJECT TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF UNDERREPRESENTED MINORITY STUDENTS WHO RECEIVE DOCTORAL DEGREES IN CHEMICAL SCIENCES. IN 2020, THE ACS BRIDGE PROGRAM EXPANDED, AND THE ACS BRIDGE TRAVEL AWARDS TRANSITIONED TO CAREER AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AWARDS. ONE OF ACS'S MOST SUCCESSFUL EFFORTS, THE ACS SCHOLARS PROGRAM, CONTINUES TO HELP STUDENTS FROM UNDERREPRESENTED RACIAL/ETHNIC GROUPS ACHIEVE THEIR DREAMS OF OBTAINING DEGREES AND CAREERS IN A BROAD RANGE OF CHEMICAL SCIENCES. IN ALL, OVER 3,300 AFRICAN-AMERICAN, HISPANIC/LATINO, AND NATIVE AMERICAN STUDENTS HAVE PARTICIPATED IN THE PROGRAM SINCE 1995. OF THOSE, OVER 2,100 HAVE EARNED BACHELOR'S DEGREES IN A CHEMICAL SCIENCE AND OVER 445 OF THESE ACS SCHOLARS HAVE GONE ON TO EARN DOCTORAL DEGREES IN CHEMISTRY,CHEMICAL ENGINEERING, OR A RELATED DISCIPLINE. ANOTHER PREMIER PROGRAM, PROJECT SEED, OFFERS HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS THE RARE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK IN ACADEMIC, GOVERNMENT, OR INDUSTRIAL RESEARCH LABORATORIES FOR AN EIGHT-TO-TEN WEEK TERM DURING THE SUMMER TO ENGAGE IN HANDS-ON SCIENCE RESEARCH PROJECTS UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF VOLUNTEER SCIENTISTS. SINCE IN-PERSON RESEARCH EXPERIENCES COULD NOT BE OFFERED IN 2020, 291 STUDENTS PARTICIPATED IN A FOUR-WEEK VIRTUAL SUMMER CAMP. FOR THE 2020-2021 SCHOOL YEAR, ACS AWARDED 37 PROJECT SEED COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIPS TO ALUMNI ENTERING THEIR FRESHMAN YEAR IN COLLEGE. THREE PROJECT SEED COLLEGE SCHOLARS RECEIVED THE CIBA SPECIALTY CHEMICALS SCHOLARSHIPS FOR THREE-RENEWABLE YEARS BEGINNING WITH THEIR SOPHOMORE YEAR. THE SECOND LOCONTI SCHOLARS WINNER WAS SELECTED, RECEIVING A FOUR-YEAR RENEWABLE SCHOLARSHIP STARTING AT THE FRESHMAN YEAR. THE COLLECTION OF PROFESSIONAL AND CAREER DEVELOPMENT RESOURCES FOR STUDENTS AND EDUCATORS WAS EXPANDED WITH NEW AND ADDITIONAL WORKSHOPS, HELD ONLINE. ELECTRONIC ACCESS TO CURRICULAR RESOURCES AND PUBLICATIONS WAS INCREASED. A DISCUSSION SERIES FOCUSED ON UNDERGRADUATE EDUCATION WAS INITIATED FOR CHAIRS OF CHEMISTRY DEPARTMENTS IN 2020. TEACHING LABORATORY COURSES IN THE TIME OF COVID-19 WAS THE TOPIC FOR THE FIRST TWO DISCUSSIONS. IN 2020, THE US CHEMISTRY OLYMPIAD TEAM CONTINUED ITS HISTORICALLY STRONG PERFORMANCE, WINNING FOUR GOLD MEDALS AND THE TOP MEDAL OVERALL AT THE 52ND INTERNATIONAL CHEMISTRY OLYMPIAD. IN 2020, THE OUTREACH TRAINING PROGRAM WAS EXPANDED, ENHANCING THE IMPACT OF CHEMISTRY FESTIVALS AND OTHER SCIENCE OUTREACH. CHEMISTS CELEBRATE EARTH WEEK AND NATIONAL CHEMISTRY WEEK WERE CONDUCTED VIRTUALLY. ACS ALSO JOINED THE EARTH DAY NETWORK IN CELEBRATING THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF EARTH DAY. ACS Membership & Society Services (M&SS) programs are administered with the vision that ACS will be the premier professional membership organization for all practitioners of chemistry worldwide. In 2020, the Society closed the year with over 155,000 members, the third consecutive year of total membership growth. ACS international membership has continued to be an additional bright spot with 25% of members presently residing outside the U.S.; major markets include Canada, China, Germany, India, Japan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom. Membership programs are built around four fundamental objectives: - Advance the chemical sciences and technologies through the delivery of high-quality programs that provide cutting-edge technical information to all practitioners of chemistry and chemical engineering. - Communicate the value of chemistry and chemical engineering to the public by facilitating excellent volunteer driven programs - Support a diverse community of multidisciplinary chemical professionals through value-based programs, services and information that allow chemical practitioners to develop and manage their careers in a global environment. - Advance the frontiers of our science in a multidisciplinary, international context; ensure advances in scientific knowledge and education benefit the global scientific community; and foster a lifelong connection among international chemical professionals to ACS. The COVID-19 pandemic most visibly impacted meeting planning activities in 2020. Though the Spring 2020 National Meeting was terminated, more than 11,700 submissions from that planned meeting were shared on the SciMeetings platform, in partnership with ACS Publications. The Membership division also supported the Green Chemistry & Engineering Conference, the first ACS virtual meeting which attracted nearly 5,000 attendees from 99 different countries. The Fall 2020 virtual meeting was successfully produced after it was determined that in-person activities would not take place. The meeting attracted just over 6,500 registrants, and a combined 70 exhibitors and sponsors. More than 4,100 presentations were provided for on-demand access during the meeting. 80% of the registrants were ACS members and nearly 20% of the were international hailing from 60 countries. First-time registrants represented one-third of total attendees, which is higher than in-person meetings, which typically see 10% first-time registrants. The Office of Awards & Member Recognition programs continued in 2020. Members were either recognized with a National Award, honored for grassroots activities, or participated in selection activities. In addition, the 2020 ACS Fellows class was selected and announced, and will be honored in a 2021 August ceremony. ACS held its first virtual ChemLuminary Awards ceremony during the year, recognizing the contributions of ACS volunteers. During that ceremony, 49 awards were presented to 51 recipients. To ensure its members were supported through the COVID-19 crisis in their professional and personal lives, ACS provided access to the following highlighted resources: - COVID-19 dues waiver: Members impacted by the pandemic in the broadest sense (employment changes, family care responsibilities, health challenges) received a dues waiver for a year of continued ACS dues at renewal. - Member Assistance Program: In partnership with our provider INOVA, members in need were provided no cost access to important assistance programs including counseling, financial guidance, and legal assistance. - LinkedIn Learning: LinkedIn learning is an online library with over 16,000 courses on a wide portfolio of topics. Access was granted to all ACS Members. - COVID-19 Resources: A comprehensive collection of ACS resources was assembled to help combat the Covid 19 pandemic. - Virtual 1:1 Career Consultations: In response to the Spring 2020 National Meeting cancellation, and to the pandemic more broadly, Zoom licenses were purchased for all Career Consultants who opted in and began conducting virtual consultations via Zoom. 350+ consultations took place since April 2020. - Virtual Office Hours: A standing time each week allows Members to speak with Career Consultants and network with fellow members. Over 700+ attendees have participated since implementation. - Virtual Career Days: Virtual Career Days had historically taken place in-person at local sections. While two took place in-person early in 2020, these were pivoted to virtual offerings. Since April 2020, ACS have had five Virtual Career Days with 750+ attendees. The ACS Webinars team significantly increased the number and frequency of webinars available to members and the chemistry community at large during COVID-19 pandemic. From April to June, during the first wave of public safety measures, the ACS Webinars team increased broadcast frequency from weekly to a daily live broadcast. By the end of 2020, ACS Webinars produced 122 member-facing webinars, an increase of 90% over 2019, which were attended by over 63,000 people, an increase of 199
