About the journal
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.
OBC publishes not only Communications and full paper Articles but also two types of critical review. Perspectives cover important developments in organic chemistry and are invited from experts in the field, while Emerging Areas, short feature articles on particularly topical subjects, are invited from eminent young chemists.
The RSC is well known for its rapid publication times, and OBC boasts the shortest times to publication in the field. Typically, full papers take 11 weeks to publication while Communications are published a mere 6 weeks from submission.
Key benefits to publishing in OBC include:
Competitive impact factor of 3.167 Fast publication Easy submission and manuscript tracking online via ReSourCe Free online colour in both the HTML and web pdf versions of articles Free print colour where scientifically justified High exposure - top papers highlighted in the wider scientific press Broadest organic audience - synthetic, physical and biomolecular Indexed in MEDLINE and other major databases

Instructions to Authors
Submitting an article to Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry is quick and easy. Brief information about the files, formats and characterisation required are given below (for further information please see the full author guidelines by using the link at the bottom of this page).
Files required for submission:
Cover letter: For communications this should also include a justification for urgent publication Manuscript file: Figures can be embedded or supplied separately. Templates are available but we are happy to receive non-templated submissions. References do not need to be formatted Supplementary material: As a separate Word or PDF file Crystallography: Can be supplied as cif file or CCDC number, along with a CheckCIF report Details of any 'in press' articles, including copies of the manuscripts Files can be uploaded online via our ReSourCe system.
Characterisation Requirements: The following is a summary of the characterisation guidelines for OBC.
When submitting an article authors must provide convincing evidence in support of the homogeneity and structure of all new compounds. We generally require five independent methods of characterisation for each new compound (for known compounds one of these can be comparison to a literature reference). One method must indicate evidence of purity.
Methods of characterisation:
Melting point High resolution mass spectrometry Low resolution mass spectrometry 1H NMR 13C NMR Other nuclei NMR HPLC Elemental analysis IR UV Refractive index Methods that indicate purity:
Elemental analysis HPLC or NMR spectral scans (supplied as supplementary material) Files required for submission of revised manuscripts: Full details of files required for acceptance and production will be sent to authors along with the referee reports. The following is a summary:
Covering letter, detailing all changes made to the manuscript Manuscript text, without embedded graphics, as a Word document Schemes and structures as ChemDraw files Other images as jpeg, tif or eps files (ideally at a resolution of 600 dpi) Supplementary material as a separate Word or PDF file Crystallography as a cif file, if revised
