Safe research is good research. Scientists have an ethical obligation to disseminate safety concerns to downstream users of their research. As the premier journals for disseminating chemical research, ACS Publications has enacted a new requirement specifying that authors address safety concerns in work submitted for publication in all American Chemical Society Journals.

During this free interactive recording, you will discover how to develop meaningful and concise safety summaries for manuscripts based on risk assessment.
