Abstract
Superconductivity in organic materials is debated controversially because the experimental situation is not yet conclusive. For one-dimensional Bechgaard salts, TMTSF, as well as for two-dimensional BEDT-TTF salts, there is some evidence of unconventional superconductivity. However, a large number of experimental results point in the direction of standard behavior. Some aspects of this discussion are presented.
