Thieme has announced the appointment of Prof. Debabrata Maiti of the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay, India as the new Editor-in-Chief of the SYNLETT Editorial Board with immediate effect. SYNLETT – Thieme’s high-quality journal in synthetic chemistry – reports the latest scientific developments in the field. Prof. Debabrata Maiti takes over the position from 2021 Nobel-Prize winner Prof. Benjamin List, director at the Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung in Mülheim an der Ruhr, Germany, who played a key role in shaping the journal in the past eight years.
SYNLETT is an international, single-anonymous peer-reviewed journal reporting research results and current trends in chemical synthesis in short, personalized reviews and preliminary communications. It covers all fields of organic chemistry involving synthesis, including catalysis, organometallic, medicinal, biological, and photochemistry, but also related disciplines. SYNLETT offers Select Crowd Review as an additional option to traditional peer review, which combines modern peer review with innovative technology. Prof. Benjamin List was the mastermind and developer of this process of joined peer review.
Prof. Debabrata Maiti takes over the position of SYNLETT Editor-in-Chief as of January 1st, 2024. He is the first Editor-in-Chief from India in the history of Thieme Chemistry journals. Recently, he edited a special issue in SYNLETT together with Professor Benjamin List and Professor Santanu Mukherjee of the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India, highlighting the state of the art and the development of Chemical Synthesis and Catalysis in India (Part I and Part II). There are several new Clusters and Special Issues planned for 2024, as this format proved a resounding success in 2023.
