Publisher's Notice: Why One More New Journal?

Molecular Diversity Preservation International (MDPI), Saengergasse 25, CH-4054 Basel (New Address: MDPI AG, St. Alban-Anlage 66 , 4052 Basel), Switzerland
Int. J. Mol. Sci. 2000, 1(1), 3; https://doi.org/10.3390/ijms1010003
Submission received: 1 October 1999 / Published: 1 January 2000
MDPI launched Molecules (http://www.mdpi.org/molecules) in 1995, which is the first electronic journal of experimental chemistry in the world. In 1998, when we had a journal title dispute with Springer, we planned to change its title to International Journal of Molecular Sciences following suggestions of the editorial board members of Molecules. However, the title problem was resolved at the end of 1998 and MDPI could continue to publish Molecules.
What to do with the new title? After a long time consideration we decided to publish it as a separate journal in 2000, focusing on more general topics of molecular physics, chemistry and molecular biology.
In order to facilitate the journal production, we will publish this new journal in the same layout format as that of Molecules. The editorial procedure (paper submission requirement and peer-reviewing process) also will be the same. Based on our experience of Molecules, we are confident that it will become another successful electronic journal of MDPI.
MDPI (Molecular Diversity Preservation International) is an international nonprofit organization, and provides services for worldwide collection, deposit and exchange of chemical samples. As one important aspect of academic services, we publish chemistry journals to promote the chemical sample exchange project. We encourage authors to deposit their available samples so that, if a reader finds any paper interesting and would like to carry out related studies, he may obtain the supporting samples from MDPI Center in Switzerland.
