Molecular Diversity is a scientific journal published quarterly by Springer Science+Business Media. Molecular Diversity presents refereed papers describing the development, application and theory of molecular diversity, and combinatorial chemistry in basic and applied research and drug discovery. The journal publishes both short and full-length papers, perspectives, news and reviews. Coverage addresses the generation of molecular diversity, application of diversity for screening against alternative targets of all types, analysis of results and their application in various scientific disciplines.[1] The journal's articles, dating to its first volume from 1995, are available online at SpringerLink.com. The editor-in-chief of the journal is Guillermo A. Morales (Semafore Pharmaceuticals, Indianapolis, IN, USA).

Molecular Diversity Preservation International's Journal of Molecular Diversity (ISSN 1424-7917) and Wolters Kluwer's (now part of Springer Science+Business Media) Molecular Diversity were merged in 2002 to form what is now Molecular Diversity. Shu-Kun Lin served as editor-in-chief and edited Volumes 6-11. Lin stepped down in June 2007.[2] Guillermo A. Morales has served as editor-in-chief since.
