Happy to hear you discovered and like our new JACS Beta site. I want to clarify it is not actually a new journal (although you may occasionally find new content posted there), but an innovative site for testing new features we are considering adding to our full JACS site. We see this site as another opportunity to interact with the community in a direct fashion to test our ideas and the community’s ideas. We are already in the process of implementing one quick improvement you suggested to the JACS Beta site and will add the email/name option on the feedback forms as we truly want this to be an interactive experience for all our users. We welcome all your comments and suggestions.

Thanks for the pointer
