Welcome
Journal of Cheminformatics is an open-access journal publishing original peer-reviewed research in all aspects of cheminformatics and molecular modelling.
Featured article
Searching chemical databases in the pre-history of cheminformatics
This article highlights research from the last century that has provided the basis for the searching techniques that are used in present-day cheminformatics systems, and thus provides an acknowledgement of the contributions made by early pioneers in the field.
Featured collections
This special collection of commentaries is introduced for celebrating the 15th anniversary of the Journal of Cheminformatics. Pioneers and experts presents the greatest of all concepts, methodologies, and developments that have pushed the boundaries of cheminformatics to its current form, as well as forthcoming challenges and opportunities.
The dramatic increase in the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and traditional machine learning methods in different scientific fields has become an essential asset in the future development of the chemical industry, including the pharmaceutical, agro biotech, and other chemical sectors. This collection discusses about the cutting-edge contributions in the rapidly evolving field of AI-driven drug discovery.
