He began work as an engineer, eventually joining the Ministry of Water Resources of the Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic. In 1960, he graduated from the Central Asian Polytechnic Institute (now Tashkent State Technical University) with a degree in mechanical engineering. He was sent to an orphanage in 1941, brought back in 1942, and then returned to the orphanage in 1945. But according to unofficial data his biological father was Bukharan Jewish. According to official data his father is Abdug'ani Karimov, an Uzbek, and his mother is Sanobar Karimova, a Tajik. Karimov was born in Samarkand to Uzbek parents who were civil servants. He ruled a repressive authoritarian regime in Uzbekistan where political opponents were assassinated, human rights were repressed, and dissent was prohibited. He died from a stroke on 2 September 2016, after being president of the country for 25 years. Karimov's first presidential term was extended to 2000 by way of a referendum, and he was re-elected in 2000, 20, each time receiving over 90% of the vote. Foreign observers and opposition party cited voting irregularities, alleging state-run propaganda and a falsified vote count. He subsequently won a non-democratic presidential election on 29 December 1991, with 86% of the vote. He declared Uzbekistan an independent nation on 31 August 1991. He was the President of the Uzbek SSR from 24 March 1990 until he declared the independence of Uzbekistan on 1 September 1991. He was the last First Secretary of the Communist Party of Uzbekistan from 1989 to 1991, when the party was reconstituted as the People's Democratic Party of Uzbekistan (PDP) he led the PDP until 1996. Islam Abduganiyevich Karimov ( Uzbek: Islom Abdugʻaniyevich Karimov / Ислом Абдуғаниевич Каримов Russian: Ислам Абдуганиевич Каримов 30 January 1938 – 2 September 2016) was the leader of Uzbekistan and its predecessor state, the Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic, from 1989 until his death in 2016. For additional information on preparation and submission of manuscripts to Arkivoc please see. Many Arkivoc papers have been included in the Web of Science list of hot and highly cited papers. Current overall Impact Factor of Arkivoc is 1.25 however, special issues are cited much better (IF of Arkivoc special issues 'Reviews and Accounts' was up to 5.0 in previous years). Currently, the issues on ‘General Papers’ and the special issues 'Reviews and Accounts', 'Hypervalent Iodine Chemistry' and 'Organoboron Chemistry' are open for general submission (). We invite all interested researchers to submit research papers, reviews, or accounts to Arkivoc. Arkivoc is certified by the DOAJ (Directory of Open Access Journals) Seal of Approval.
It is covered by all databases including Web of Science (Clarivate Analytics), Scopus, and SciFinder.
Part 1 and Part 2 (2021) of the Arkivoc special issue contain total 20 papers covering a broad range of topics of the hypervalent iodine chemistry.Īrkivoc is a platinum open access organic chemistry journal completely free to authors and free to readers established 20 years ago by Alan Katritzky. The conference was initially moved to 2021 because of the pandemic and later it was cancelled (). In 2020, we have opened a special issue of Arkivoc on 'Hypervalent Iodine Chemistry' in connection with the 7th International Conference on Hypervalent Iodine Chemistry (ICHIC-2020). Numerous Arkivoc papers were included in the Web of Science list of hot and highly cited paper (for example, my review on ‘Hypervalent iodine(III) reagents in organic synthesis’, Arkivoc 2009, i, 1-62, was cited over 330 times).
Arkivoc mainly publishes Commemorative Issues, which explains its relatively low Impact Factor (overall IF in 2020 was 1.14), but special issues are cited much better (IF about 5.0). It is covered by all databases including Web of Science, Scopus, and SciFinder. The manuscript should be prepared using a template according to general rules for the preparation of manuscripts to Arkivoc (please see for details) and submitted electronically via Arkivoc website.Īrkivoc is a completely free organic chemistry journal (free to authors and free to readers) established 22 years ago by Alan Katritzky.
All kinds of works will be accepted (short communications, full papers, reviews, and accounts). We invite all hypervalent iodine researchers to contribute to this issue. The third part of a special issue of Arkivoc on 'Hypervalent Iodine Chemistry' is now available for submission and it will remain open for submission through the spring of 2023.
