1. Novelty is another highly subjective concept. Due to heavy overuse, numerous journals banned or strongly discouraged the use of the word "novel" from titles of manuscripts. While I agree with this action, I am very pleased that it stands firm as one of the defining words in ISNA. Nevertheless, the word does need to be used carefully. For an essay on "hype" in organic synthesis, see:, R. Carlson, T. Hudlicky, Helv. Chim. Acta 2012, 95, 2052-2062.
