New Content: Science of Synthesis Knowledge Updates

SOS is continuously updated with high-quality content using clearly defined criteria for method selection as well as established editorial processes. The Editorial Board, in conjunction with the volume editors and expert authors, reviews the whole field of synthetic organic chemistry as presented in SOS and evaluates significant developments in synthetic methodology. This release will see the addition of one new update volume comprising approx. 480 printed pages.
