Macromolecules is an exceptional resource in the field of polymer science and now publishes more than 1000 original articles a year that set the standard for scientific rigor and creative insights. Over the years, these individual contributions have combined to build the foundation of polymer science, broadly and inclusively defined. In addition to the individual articles, many of which are being celebrated in this series of editorials, Macromolecules has published invaluable reviews and perspectives. These scholarly contributions integrate the insights and results from numerous sources into a unified whole and often recommend future directions for the field. Novices and experts alike benefit from these works that capture topics from emerging discoveries to long-pondered topics and everything in between. To explore the importance of Macromolecules’ reviews and perspectives, we considered their influence on the field and found the 1994 review by Fetters et al. entitled “Connection between Polymer Molecular Weight, Density, Chain Dimensions, and Melt Viscoelastic Properties”1 to be a singularity. This review expertly curates and compiles a trove of data to build robust correlations between molecular characteristics and macroscopic viscoelastic properties of polymer melts, in the context of the tube model of entanglements.
