NJC Opinions are short, refereed, citable articles on a topic related to chemistry that normally reports no new data but presents an opinion, hypothesis or conjecture on a topic judged by the referees and editor to be of interest to the readership. Examples of possible Opinions include proposal of a new mechanism for a known reaction, or a proposed reinterpretation of a previously reported data or concepts. The format is intended to allow more leeway for conjecture than the traditional formats. It should not be used to report a proposal that could be readily tested by currently available methods and published as a standard article. Opinions could also cover more general subjects related to educational, ethical, philosophical or sociological concerns of the chemical community.
