Molecules in 2023

Dear Colleagues,

Thanks to our readers, innumerable authors, anonymous peer reviewers, editors, and all others contributing in some way to the journal, Molecules has achieved an IF which currently stands at 4.927. In 2023, the 28th volume of our journal is due to be being published.

To start and highlight another consecutive year of excellence on a high note, a Special Issue entitled “Molecules in 2023” is being launched.  This purpose of this Special Issue is to collect high-quality original research and review articles in all areas of interest covered by Molecules. The Special Issue aims to collect papers of our Editors-in-Chief, Editorial Board members, Guest Editors, affiliated societies members, authors, and reviewers from Molecules. The submission deadline will be 31 March 2023. We kindly encourage all research groups to contribute up-to-date results from the latest developments in your laboratory.
