3. The idea that the field
of natural product synthesis has contracted is based on grant review
service, as well as a title and topic search for “total synthesis”
in J. Am. Chem. Soc. from the United States. A single
chemistry journal was chosen as representative because the total publication
rate has increased worldwide, even among some individual journals,
whereas the number of papers per year in J. Am. Chem. Soc. has remained steady for two decades. The United States was chosen
as a representative country due to my personal interest in its science
landscape, but also because U.S. publication rates in J. Am.
Chem. Soc. have remained roughly consistent over three decades,
while the rates in other countries have increased markedly. In the
1990s, there were ∼45 papers per year from the United States
on the topic of total synthesis, and ∼70 on catalysis. By the
late 2010s, these figures changed to ∼25 and ∼150, respectively.
