About Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry

Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry brings together molecular design, synthesis, structure, function and reactivity in one journal. It publishes fundamental work on synthetic, physical and biomolecular organic chemistry as well as all organic aspects of: chemical biology, medicinal chemistry, natural product chemistry, supramolecular chemistry, macromolecular chemistry, theoretical chemistry, and catalysis.

OBC publishes not only Communications and full paper Articles but also two types of critical review.  Perspectives cover important developments in organic chemistry and are invited from experts in the field, while Emerging Areas, short feature articles on particularly topical subjects, are invited from eminent young chemists.

The RSC is well known for its rapid publication times, and OBC boasts the shortest times to publication in the field. Typically, full papers take 11 weeks to publication while Communications are published a mere 6 weeks from submission. 

Key benefits to publishing in OBC include:

• Competitive impact factor of 2.874
• Fast - shortest publication times in field, as low as 30 days from acceptance for papers, and 14 days for communications
• Easy submission and manuscript tracking online via ReSourCe
• Free colour where scientifically justified
• High exposure - top papers highlighted in the wider scientific press 
• Broadest organic audience - synthetic, physical and biomolecular
• Indexed in MEDLINE and other major databases
