Journal of Polymer Science is a
peer-reviewed journal of
polymer science currently published in multiple parts by
John Wiley & Sons. It was originally established as the Journal of Polymer Science in 1946 by
Interscience Publishers and the founding editor
Herman F. Mark, but it was split in various parts in 1962. The journal has undergone re-organization several times since. In 2020, the journal will consolidate in one single publication.[1] The
editor-in-chief is Joseph W Krumpfer.[2]
