A letter from Erik Sorensen
|
|
Organic Chemistry Frontiers is proud to share with you a nice letter from the Associate Editor, Professor Erik Sorensen from Princeton University. In this responding letter to a referee, Erik talked about his motivation in working with OCF as well as the expectations to this high quality emerging journal. The referee: “What do you envision as the niche for Organic Chemistry Frontiers?” Erik Sorensen (Associate Editor, OCF): “First, Happy New Year to you! I apologize for the long delay. I just returned from lecturing in Norway. I was distracted by the interesting science at that symposium, the process of slide making, and assigning manuscripts for Org. Chem. Front. So, here are some words to express my feelings about that relatively new journal: I really like the people associated with it, this includes the editorial board and the staff at RSC. The RSC staff is terrific; they push when they need to and are always inclined to help. I actually said ‘no’ to the first invitation I received to be an Assoc. Editor for OCF because I tend to feel that we already have plenty of journals for publishing achievements in organic chemistry. Nevertheless, as time passed, my feelings started to soften. Rob Eagling and Editor, Shengming Ma, overwhelmed me with their enthusiasm for OCF. I was susceptible to that, in part, because I felt like I should start doing things that would allow me to give back to our field. I was also intrigued by the idea that OCF could emerge as an attractive venue (with high standards!) for the research advances by the large and growing population of chemists in China. Given my status as guest Professor at Tianjin University (during the summer months when I don’t teach at Princeton), I travel to China relatively often. During my visits to China, I am frequently very impressed by the enthusiasm that exists there for organic chemistry, as well as the spirit to ‘get better’. In fact, the chemists I encounter over there are working really hard to be innovative. I confess that their spirit has had a positive effect on my own level of motivation. So, my wish to start giving back to our field and my expanding interactions with organic chemists from China are the biggest reasons for my decision to get involved with OCF. I am in my 2nd year as an Assoc. Editor, and I have no regrets. I am as eager as ever to see OCF compete with all of the other journals that strive to publish original ideas and results in organic chemistry, especially in the area of organic chemical synthesis. Some time is needed before we will know if this journal will earn its title– Organic Chemistry Frontiers.” |
