A recent analysis of chemistry journals reveals that Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry remains the quickest general organic and bioorganic journal. 

On average, a communication in OBC will be published on the web in just over five weeks. 

A full paper in OBC will be published on the web in under two months on average. 

Our fast publication times are achieved without compromising the rigorous peer review that our authors and readers expect from a premier journal: each paper accepted for publication receives at least two referee reports from international experts in the field. 

As well as offering the quickest publication times in the field, OBC has a competitive impact factor and is listed in MEDLINE and other major databases. New innovations such as Project Prospect, the RSC's tool for enhancing the HTML versions of papers, ensure that OBC is also at the forefront of journals technology.
