Organic Letters 2.0: A New Beginning

Abstract

Last year, Organic Letters celebrated its 20-year anniversary. To younger authors and readers, it is hard to appreciate that Organic Letters, as the new kid on the block back then as far as ACS journals go, was trail-blazing in its approach to all aspects of scientific publications—a letters journal that rapidly published top-shelf, rigorously peer-reviewed research. It is hard to believe now that two decades have elapsed since the journal's launch with Professor Amos B. Smith III as the founding Editor-in-Chief. Under Prof. Smith's visionary, steady leadership, Organic Letters quickly skyrocketed to the preeminent position it holds today as the leading organic chemistry journal. Organic Letters has benefitted from a close-knit group of Associate Editors that enjoys the broad respect of the community at large, because they are active scientists engaged in all aspects of research, including publication of high-caliber science. This is reassuring to scientists—authors who entrust their hard work to the rigors of peer review.
