Hope researchers/scientists will also report/mention the instability of intermediates, scale-up difficulties and run-away reactions involving impurities of substrates,
solvents and intermediates.

How I wish there was a way to add a short phrase providing readers with invormation on what is NOT known about any chemicals involved in the process. How helpful
it would be if, like the E.U. version of the SDS, Section 11, there was clear indications of those hazards for which there is "no data" such as cancer, reproductive, STOT acute and chronic. If only hazards that are "known" are menotioned, Chemists will do
the same thing that ordinary consumers do: they will assume the hazards "known" are essentially all the hazards these chemicals have.

Chemical Society journals will have a new safety reporting requirement starting in 2017: Authors must “address and emphasize any unexpected, new, and/or significant hazards or risks associated with the reported work,” says an ACS Central Science editorial
describing the change (2016, DOI: 10.1021/acscentsci.6b00341).
ACS Publications editors and staff took a closer look at how the journals addressed safety after a “confluence of events” that
included high-profile accidents and a survey of safety policies of chemical journals (J. Chem. Health Saf. 2016, DOI: 10.1016/j.jchas.2015.10.001),
says Sarah Tegen, vice president for global editorial and author services at ACS. ACS also publishes C&EN. Previously, individual journals set their own safety policies.
