 is calling for submissions to our Collection on Milestones in Cheminformatics. In light of the 15th anniversary of the Journal of Cheminformatics, we introduce this special collection of Commentaries entitled Milestones in Cheminformatics.
Pioneers and experts will discuss what, in their views, are the greatest of all time concepts, methodologies, and developments that have pushed the boundaries of cheminformatics to its current form, as well as forthcoming challenges and opportunities

  1. Cheminformatics and chemical databases are essential to drug discovery. However, machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) methodologies are changing the way in which chemical data is used. How wi...

About the Collection

is calling for submissions to our Collection on Milestones in Cheminformatics. In light of the 15th anniversary of the Journal of Cheminformatics, we introduce this special collection of Commentaries entitled Milestones in Cheminformatics. 

Pioneers and experts will discuss what, in their views, are the greatest of all time concepts, methodologies, and developments that have pushed the boundaries of cheminformatics to its current form, as well as forthcoming challenges and opportunities. Broad topics include: 

•    an overall account of the cheminformatics field; 
•    theoretical aspects and applications of chemical spaces; 
•    education; 
•    publishing; 
•    predictive models of bioactivity; 
•    job market/career development; 
•    compound databases; 
•    data analysis and visualization; 
•    open science/open data; 
•    and software / web-servers.
