Two new thematic series in the Journal of Cheminformatics
As reported in a previous post, the Journal of Cheminformatics has received its first Impact Factor of 3.42. JEditors-in-Chief David Wild (Indiana University, US) and Christoph Steinbeck (European Bioinformatics Institute, UK) commented: “Our aim when we started Journal of Cheminformatics in 2009, was to impact a wide audience with high quality, interesting and relevant cheminformatics research. Three years on, we are delighted at our progress, and we believe our Impact Factor of 3.42 (very high for a first Impact Factor for a new journal) demonstrates the difference our journal is making in the field of cheminformatics and beyond, into other related disciplines of science. Being Open Access, our papers can be read by a wide range of researchers, scientists in industry and independent practitioners.” We also believe that the papers in the following two new thematic series will have a considerable amount of attention from our readers and will contribute to the growing success of the journal in the future.
Announcing Two New Themed Series of Papers, to Be Published in 2012
Semantic Physical Sciences –Fall 2012
Guest Editors:
Peter Murray-Rust, University of Cambridge
Henry Rzepa, Imperial College London
2012 Herman Skolnik Award winners
- A series of papers arising from an invited workshop and symposium to investigate and formalize the use of semantics in physical sciences
- Applying primary technologies based on chemical mark-up language (CML) and MathML to create fully semantic declarative scientific objects
- Represents output from groups such as CSIRO, PNNL, STFC, Kitware, IUCr, the Blue Obelisk, and the Unilever Centre for Molecular Informatics
The InChI Project –Winter 2012
Guest Editor:
Antony Williams, Royal Society of Chemistry
