Stuttgart, Germany – The RXN for Chemistry cloud platform helps synthetic organic chemists in predicting the outcome of chemical reactions using artificial intelligence (AI) which is trained on data. Thus, a prerequisite for optimal prediction results is high-quality datasets. The cooperation between IBM and Thieme Chemistry aims at improving the prediction outcomes using synthesis data from Thieme's expert curated digital publication source for organic chemistry - Science of Synthesis.

Stuttgart, Germany – Cristina Nevado, Professor at the University of Zurich (Switzerland), won the Dr. Margaret Faul Award for Women in Chemistry. An international selection committee recognized her for her successful and diverse research in the field of catalysis using late transition metals, synthesis of medicinally relevant natural products, and development of bioactive chemical probes. Thieme Chemistry and the editors of Science of Synthesis created the Dr. Margaret Faul Award for Women in Chemistry to honor female chemists who have made significant contributions to synthetic chemistry in the first 15 years of their independent careers. This is the prize’s second edition, after the first in 2019, with an award totaling €5,000. The award ceremony takes place next Monday, July 5, 2021, during the European Symposium on Organic Chemistry (ESOC 2021).

Stuttgart, January 2021 – The Thieme Group has concluded a transformation agreement with ZB MED – Information Centre for Life Sciences, the Forschungszentrum Jülich and eight other specialist libraries. As part of the current agreement, which comes into effect on 1 January 2021, authors of the participating institutions receive the opportunity to publish original papers in four international specialist Thieme journals on an open access basis without additional costs. The offer includes the publications International Journal of Sports Medicine, Pharmacopsychiatry, Thrombosis and Haemostasis and Methods of Information in Medicine. Thieme already reached a similar agreement in 2019. The pilot project was initially restricted to the specialist journal Hormone and Metabolic Research.
