In 2018, MDPI contributed more Open Access articles to DOAJ than any other publisher. Our purpose is to provide a valuable service to the academic community. Our mission is to foster scientific exchange in its various forms, across all scientific disciplines. The driving principles behind everything that we do are the following: Accessibility Flexibility We offer access to science and the latest In a changing and evolving publishing research to readers free-of-charge. All of our environment, we are constantly adapting content is published in Open Access format and developing new tools and services.

  • Abstract and Index and Web Discovery Services IEEE Partners
    ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract and Index and Web Discovery Services IEEE Partners Introduction This document is intended to provide a general overview of the abstract and indexing services and web discovery services that take in IEEE content. While this report is intended to provide readers with information on IEEE content indexed and in what service, there are several things to keep in mind: Services identified in this report do not cover everything in IEEE’s Xplore Digital Library either because IEEE does not provide all content to these services, or because only certain content was selected by a partner. Some services add and delete titles regularly, or include only select articles, in order to maintain a database that is relevant to their audience. While IEEE may provide a data feed for a particular subscription package (noted in the tables below), partners are not required to index all content. Most partners update their products at varying intervals and many Abstract and Indexing Services do not include corrected or updated article information. As a result, and given that these services and our agreements with these partners can and do change, readers of this report are encouraged to contact Krista Thom, Publishing Relations Program Specialist at [email protected] with specific questions. Abstract & Indexing Services Abstract and indexing services maintain databases, often subject-specific, which users can search to find relevant content. The data included in these services may be peer-reviewed journals, books, reports, and other types of content. Unlike web scale discovery services, these services collect metadata (including abstracts) from publishers and other organizations into large repositories or indexes.

The Journal of Molecular Structure is dedicated to the publication of full-length articles and review papers, providing important new structural information on all types of chemical species including: • Stable and unstable molecules in all types of environments (vapour, molecular beam, liquid, solution, liquid crystal, solid state, matrix-isolated, surface-absorbed etc.) • Chemical intermediates • Molecules in excited states • Biological molecules • Polymers. The methods used may include any combination of spectroscopic and non-spectroscopic techniques, for example: • Infrared spectroscopy (mid, far, near) • Raman spectroscopy and non-linear Raman methods (CARS, etc.) • Electronic absorption spectroscopy • Optical rotatory dispersion and circular dichroism • Fluorescence and phosphorescence techniques • Electron spectroscopies (PES, XPS), EXAFS, etc. • Microwave spectroscopy • Electron diffraction • NMR and ESR spectroscopies • Mössbauer spectroscopy • X-ray crystallography • Charge Density Analyses • Computational Studies (supplementing experimental methods) We encourage publications combining theoretical and experimental approaches. The structural insights gained by the studies should be correlated with the properties, activity and/ or reactivity of the molecule under investigation and the relevance

Boeré Molbank is a unique electronic journal that rapidly publishes very short articles, which typically encompass one compound per paper (“short notes”) as well as “communications”. The aim of this format is to prevent potentially useful scientific information from being lost. In many research groups, there are unpublished compounds that are available, which do not truly fit into a full paper or even a conventional short paper, e.g. because the main work in a series of compounds has already been published. Nevertheless, somebody else might be interested in just this particular compound. Molbank offers an excellent platform for preserving the aforesaid kind of information.

The “Materials Chemistry” Section of Molecules strives to provide an open access platform for disseminating high-quality articles and reviews at the core of the chemistry of materials. In this respect, the “Materials Chemistry” Section invites studies on the synthesis and characterization of either inorganic or organic (polymeric) materials, the investigation of structure–property relationships in metal, ceramic and polymer systems, as well as the design, preparation, and characterization of micro- and nano-composites (including hybrid organic-inorganic structures) and their applications in advanced sectors. Furthermore, the total number of downloads/views of manuscripts published in Molecules in 2019 was 4,746,115, which, for the total of 4619 articles published, implies approximately 1000 views per article, demonstrating a superb visibility among both researchers and the scientific community. Finally, in terms of publication time, Molecules is among the fastest in the field, with an average of 32 days from submission to first publication. The rapid publishing time, while maintaining a rigorous peer-review process, is undeniably a credit to the dedication and professionalism of the Editors and the Editorial Team of Molecules.
