A Perspective article in Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry is a short (ca. ten journal pages), easy-to-read article presenting a personal viewpoint or critical appraisal of an area related to synthetic, physical or biomolecular organic chemistry. Ideally, it should be an evaluation of a new or significant area, bringing together the results of various primary publications.

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.
