<i>ChemSystemsChem</i> – On the Up and Up

Into another year with ChemSystemsChem! In this Editorial, the editors summarize developments at journal in 2022, highlight new projects for 2023 and introduce renewed Editorial Advisory Board. ChemSystemsChem, Chemistry Europe's dedicated to systems chemistry, has had a busy eventful on many fronts. Despite changes year, continuing into 2023, what remains unchanged is journal's commitment bringing research community latest, high quality chemistry from across globe (Figure 1). Covers of issue (Issue 1/2023). The front cover (left) was provided by Job Boekhoven co-workers, whereas Cover Feature (right) Salma Kassem Rein Ulijn. 2022 marked fourth first published 2019. continues grow strength we are happy have received very positive feedback about articles publish. It been pleasure start attend in-person conferences again interact person community! saw ChemSystemsChem publish excellent contributions, both review-type articles, diverse field chemistry.
