Articles of the journals "SYNTHESIS" and "SYNLETT"
are now available electronically first
Stuttgart, March 2004 - The scientific articles of the two chemistry journals
"SYNTHESIS" and "SYNLETT" (Georg Thieme
Verlag, Stuttgart) are now available electronically before the print version. Articles are published several weeks
in advance in the online journals database of the Thieme
Publishing Group at www.thieme-connect.com. Currently,
the eFirst service is also in preparation for the medical
journals of Georg Thieme Verlag.
The articles that are electronically published first
undergo the entire peer-review and assessment procedure.
As of now, the articles of the journals SYNTHESIS
and SYNLETT are available in the
digital journals database (www.thieme-connect.com)
immediately after being approved by the authors, and published as citable articles under the title
eFirst.
"That way, articles will sometimes be electronically
available weeks before the publication of the printed
journal. This is a service for readers and authors that
guarantees high topicality, which is important in research
chemistry", states Dr. Guido F. Herrmann, managing
director for Thieme Chemistry.
eFirst articles can be found online following
the regular journal link. The print article will be
published as usual, according to the regular print schedule.
An eFirst table of contents informs the users
about newly posted digital articles. In addition, users
can sign up for receiving the table of contents of any
journals via email regularly.
Abstracts of articles are accessible to all visitors
of the chemistry website and Thieme-connect. Subscribers
to the journals "SYNTHESIS" and "SYNLETT"
will have the option to either read the full text in
html or pdf format. Over the next few months, more articles
from selected Thieme medical journals will be available
as eFirst articles.
For individual subscribers, access to the Thieme-connect
journals database is included in their subscription.
They can register for this purpose free of charge at
www.thieme-connect.com. Institutional customers like
hospitals and libraries have the option to obtain access
against payment of a fee.
The contents of the specialist journals of the Thieme
Publishing Group are available online at www.thieme-connect.de
or www.thieme-connect.com. The journals, amounting to
more than 130 in total, focus on all fields of medicine
as well as adjoining natural sciences, such as chemistry.
