Thieme Launches Free Service for Chemists in Academia and Industry

Stuttgart – Thieme announces the introduction of the free service, “SYNFACT of the month”. Since the August issue of “SYNFACTS”, editors have been selecting some of the most compelling contributions to the journal for “SYNFACT of the month”. Access to the new service is available to users free-of-charge via Thieme-connect (www.thieme-connect.com).

Complimentary content on “SYNFACTS” is located next to the word 'free'. Users have the option to either view content as HTML or to download a PDF file to their desktop. The current issue features four complimentary articles.

The new service addresses the needs of the synthetic chemist in both academia and in industry.
