Our new website is “The Most”

The journals of the American Chemical Society are the most-cited, most-accessed, most-read, and most-influential research in the chemical and related sciences. We invite you see for yourself when you visit our new “The Most”website at http://pubs.acs.org/journals/promo/most/ to view lists of Most-Cited Articles, Hot Papers, and Most-Accessed Articles. Rankings of Most-Cited Articles listed are based on data from Thomson ISI® Web of Science. Hot Papers listed are articles published within the last 2 years receiving the most citations over the most recent 2–month period, as identified by Thomson ISI® Essential Scientific Indicators. Most-Accessed Articles listed are based on article web view data collected following COUNTER-compliant ACS Usage Reports. Listings are organized by journal. Please check back to these article listings frequently, as regular updates are made throughout the year.
