The latest citation data released by Thomson ISI in June 2008 reveal that OBC's  Impact Factor has risen by over 10% to its highest ever value of 3.167.

This impressive trend underlines the continuing success of OBC. Coupled with  publication times that are faster than others in the field, this news reinforces OBC's  position as the journal of choice for publishing cutting-edge research of the highest quality in synthetic, physical and biomolecular organic chemistry.

The Impact Factor is a measure of the number of times an "average article" in a journal has been cited in a particular year. The impact factor for 2007 is calculated from the total number of citations given in 2007 to articles published in 2005 and 2006, divided by the number of articles published in 2005 and 2006.
