Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry

An international journal for the quickest publication of high-quality research covering the breadth of synthetic, physical and biomolecular organic chemistry.




Changing hot topics in organic chemistry



To help celebrate OBC's fifth year of successful publishing, I thought that it might be interesting to see just how the broad field of organic chemistry has changed over the past decade.

OBC  is built on the foundations laid by its predecessors Perkin Transactions 1  and 2 which ceased publication in 2002.

Below is a list of the top five cited articles so far in OBC  and the top five cited articles from both Perkin Transactions 1  and 2 from 1998 to 2002.


Take a look at how the science and the journals have changed.
