Literature Notes

Email This Entry

Posted by Derek

So, now that we're in 2010, the journal that introduced the whole idea of a graphical abstract to organic chemistry (Tetrahedron Letters) has finally started including them in their RSS feed. That's how I read journals these days, and I think I have a lot of company, so I'm grateful that they got around to it.

And on another literature note, I wanted to mention that I've accepted an invite to the editorial advisory board of the new ACS journal ACS Medicinal Chemistry Letters. You can tell, I guess, when you've been doing this stuff for a while - when I look at the rest of the advisory board, I see people I went to grad school with, people I used to work down the hall from, and so on. The journal has started publishing its first papers; we'll see how it works out, and how it competes with the other short-form outlet for this sort of work, Bioorganic and Medicinal Chemistry Letters. I promise not to let any anti-Bredt cyclobutenes get past me!

Tet Lett, OK it is a start. How about BOMCl and Angewandte Chemie?

I stand corrected, BOMCl has them too. I guess all those emails finally paid off....

Congrats!

I was gonna ask why ACS and not RSC, but I see the competition are the warmongers, so no foul.

So what do we submit to ACS Med. Chem. Lett., and what do we submit to J. Med. Chem. as a brief article?
