Special Issue in Honor of Prof. David Crich’s 65th Birthday for His Outstanding Contributions to Carbohydrate Chemistry

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce a Special Issue in honor of Professor David Crich, celebrating his remarkable contributions to Carbohydrate Chemistry on his 65th birthday. Over the years, Professor Crich has made outstanding strides in this intricate and pivotal area of science, specifically on the novel methods for stereoselective glycosylation, leaving an indelible mark on the community. His innovative approaches and mechanistic studies have opened new frontiers in carbohydrate chemistry, addressing complex challenges and laying the foundation for groundbreaking research. This Special Issue will serve as a tribute to Professor Crich’s lifelong dedication to carbohydrate chemistry and will feature a collection of articles, reviews, and research papers.

We invite researchers and scholars from around the world to contribute to this Special Issue, sharing their own insights and discoveries inspired by Professor Crich's work. This collective effort will showcase carbohydrate chemistry’s ongoing relevance and significance, as well as its potential to address critical scientific questions and challenges. We encourage you to participate in this tribute to Professor Crich's extraordinary career and to celebrate the profound influence he has had on the field of carbohydrate chemistry. Please submit your manuscripts, reviews, or other contributions by May 31 2024 to be considered for inclusion in this Special Issue.

We look forward to celebrating Professor Crich’s 65th birthday and his legacy in carbohydrate chemistry through this Special Issue.

Dr. Indrajeet Sharma
Guest Editor

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
