A curated collection of highlights from the synthetic organic chemistry literature.
Editor Timothy Kwok
This Peeriodical is intended for an audience that wants to learn as broadly—and as efficiently—as possible about the synthetic chemistry literature.
Featured papers are selected not only on the basis of scientific merit, but also of the clarity with which they convey their learning points. Thus, there is a heavier emphasis on reviews and tutorial-style guides, particularly well-written ones.
