    Why do some papers appear in Science and Nature, and others don't? What's open access? Have I been reading publications wrong all this time? Scientific publications are the basis onto which we build all science, and this course focuses on understanding them. Each year the organic chemistry literature club course will focus on key topics the students are interested in. Recent publications on each key chosen topic, such as medicinal chemistry, materials science, catalysis eg., are discussed to understand the key features of modern scientific publishing.
