ACS Institute
The ACS Institute is a comprehensive and authoritative learning platform supporting the broad chemistry community across the spectrum of learning from foundational education, career expertise, and professional development.
Made up of seven learning centers, the ACS Institute fills a significant gap in the training landscape for chemistry-specific knowledge which is currently highly disparate, inconsistent, and sourced from a wide range of providers.
Digital Books, References, and News
ACS Publications offers a broad array of peer-reviewed digital books that help readers gain a depth of understanding, references that help scientists communicate effectively and remain compliant with analytical chemistry requirements, and news that makes sense of technology in the world around us.
