Open Access has become a passionately discussed topic all over the world. Open Access can be defined as a 'global public good': an instrument to stimulate the growth and quality of global science, as well as an instrument for realizing the rights to share in scientific advancement and its benefits, to education and to information (articles 27, 26 and 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights respectively) [1]. Open Access (OA) journals such as "Organic Chemistry: Current Research" (OCCR) from OMICS Publishing Group allow researchers to maximize dissemination of their work by reaching the largest possible readership. Articles published in open access format are more likely to be cited than those that are not [2]. Due to this reason impact factor of open access journals is on the rise for the last couple of years [3]. Researchers in developing nations are more likely to access information published by OA journals. OMICS Publishing Group strongly supports the open access initiative and all articles published by OMICS Publishing Group are freely accessible to everyone immediately after publication. Some of the special features of OMICS group journals include digital formatting, audio listening, language translation and ability to share views on articles via social networking. The journal, "Organic chemistry: Current Research" covers all aspects of organic chemistry, including organic synthesis, organic reactions, natural product chemistry, structural investigations, supramolecular chemistry and chemical biology. The knowledge and expertise of the editors and editorial board members of OCCR ensures high quality research articles and allows for a comprehensive review of scholarly works which will act as a reliable source of information on current developments in Organic chemistry.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
