The American Chemical Society has announced that the Journal of Organic Chemistry (JOC), the Society's longstanding peer-reviewed journal focused on the theory and practice of organic chemistry, will be headed by Scott J. Miller of Yale University, effective 2017. He will succeed C. Dale Poulter, the journal's editor-in-chief since 2001.
Miller, the Irénée du Pont Professor of Chemistry, has made a significant impact in the fields of organic chemistry, chemical biology and synthetic chemistry. His research is focused on complex molecular synthesis relying on rational design and combinatorial screening, with the goal of discovering new chemical transformations that enable the rapid synthesis of stereochemically complex structures. Miller's work has earned him a number of accolades and awards, including the Pfizer Award for Creativity in Organic Chemistry, the ACS Arthur C. Cope Scholar Award, the National Institutes of Health MERIT Award and the ACS Award for Creative Work in Synthetic Organic Chemistry. He is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
The Journal of Organic Chemistry is the gold standard for the reporting of experimental results in the field of synthetic organic chemistry. In addition to publishing Articles, Notes and Perspectives, the journal recently began publishing special issues covering timely topics of interest to the organic chemistry community and JOCSynopses, which are focused, short reviews of current topics in emerging areas of research. Delivered to researchers' desktops and mobile devices, JOC is a bimonthly publication disseminating nearly 1,400 articles annually.
