Meet Leading Authors and Editors from Our Chemistry Community

Our authors and editors include leading international scientists in the field of synthetic organic chemistry. In interviews, testimonials, and quotes, you can learn more about the people behind the publications in our Thieme chemistry journals and knowledge platforms.

Find out why researchers rely on Thieme and have chosen to publish their research findings in our scientific chemistry and biochemistry journals. It is a clear sign of trust in us that leading scientists use our journals, such as SYNTHESIS, SYNLETT, and SynOpen, as publication media for their work.

Learn more about why authors and editors invest so much time and resources in advancing our knowledge platforms such as Science of Synthesis. And find out more about how researchers use our Thieme Chemistry publications and tools to advance their own scientific work.

The home of reliable synthetic methodology

"I chose to publish in SYNTHESIS because I grew up with this journal. Both my MSc and PhD advisors had been editors of SYNTHESIS, hence frequently publishing their work in this well-established platform. SYNTHESIS has always been the home of reliable and carefully documented synthetic methodology. Handling of the manuscripts by an internationally recognized board of editors in concert with a competent editorial office are additional benefits, and the newly designed layout makes it even more attractive to publish in SYNTHESIS. I also like to mention that SYNTHESIS is widely known for its excellent reviews, often written by early-career chemists with greatest care and in-depth insight.” (Prof. Martin Oestreich)

Authoritative and globally visible

“I chose the SYNTHESIS journal and Thieme Chemistry for its outstanding reputation in synthetic chemistry and its dedicated readership of researchers in my field. The journal is widely recognized as an authoritative source in this field, with published experimental work that is both reliable and highly reproducible. The rigorous yet efficient peer-review process not only enhanced the academic robustness of my work but also enabled its timely publication. Moreover, the global visibility it provides has significantly amplified the impact of my findings. I strongly encourage my colleagues, especially early-career researchers looking to establish their presence, to consider submitting their impressive work to this journal-it offers a perfect blend of high standards and supportive editorial guidance.” (Prof. Xin-Yuan Liu)

Direct visibility to synthetic chemists

“I chose to publish in SYNTHESIS because it´s a great way to directly reach an audience of synthetic chemists, which not only specializes, but also spreads across academia and industry. The review process was quick, and the feedback was constructive, genuinely improving the manuscript through the peer review process. I strongly encourage other chemists to consider publishing in this journal – particularly industrial chemists who want to share their experience in the form of a review or short review.” (Prof. Matthew Horwitz)

Rapid, fair, and focused on organic synthesis

“I chose to publish in SYNLETT because of its exceptional scientific contents focusing on organic synthesis and rapid review process. I really enjoyed my publication experience due to the journal’s fair and constructive peer review and the professional editorial support. I strongly recommend SYNLETT as an ideal platform for chemists to share their novel discoveries in the realm of organic synthesis and related research areas.” (Prof. Shuli You)

Open access reach with faster decisions

“The unique “crowd review” process of SynOpen makes the review quicker with faster Editorial decisions. The open-access journals ensure free global accessibility, leading to better visibility of the work. The Author Accepted Manuscript (AAM) of the article is instantly available, enabling prompt access and citation by those working in the field. My own publication in this journal has received excellent citations, which is on par or better than those in high-repute Organic Chemistry journals published during the same period. The Article Processing Charge (APC) can be a barrier, but with waiver and discount options available, SynOpen is a great platform for all chemists to publish their work.” (Dr. Bhisma K. Patel)

Achieve your goal with SoS

”Science of Synthesis is the so-called "encyclopedia" of organic synthetic methods. It contains the most useful organic and organometallic transformations and experimental protocols as selected by over 2.500 chemists, including many big names in organic chemistry, and is overseen by an esteemed international editorial board.Furthermore, Science of Synthesis includes discussion of the most reliable synthetic methods, as recommended by experts, covering details such as scope, yields, and safety aspects. This comprehensive coverage of evaluated information and synthetic procedures for organic transformations provides intuitive and quick access to detailed information about the reactions you want to investigate. Science of Synthesis is a powerful tool that enables researchers in industry to truly enhance their skills as researchers, and graduate and undergraduate students to quickly gain a wealth of knowledge that will prepare them for future careers in academia or industry.In view of these advantages, I strongly recommend Science of Synthesis to researchers and academics, and to graduates and undergraduates studying synthetic organic chemistry.” (Prof. Shu Kobayashi)
