***************************************
Well here we are - the first electronic chemistry journal. What started as
an idea at an ACS meeting has developed into an experiment in which we are
very much learning as we go along. The results of this learning process are
now available on the server and we are officially (and only 6 weeks late)
"up and running".
I have tried to emphasize from the beginning that the purpose of the Journal
of Molecular Modeling is not to be an electronic journal, but rather to be a
good scientific journal that happens to be published electronically. This
should be a motivation to contributors to give their best, taking advantage of
the possibility to publish high quality presentation material.
The Journal of Molecular Modeling is a non-commercial journal operated by
the Computer-Chemie-Centrum at the Institut fuer Organische Chemie of the
Friedrich-Alexander-Universitaet Erlangen-Nuernberg in cooperation with
Megalon S.A. and the Springer Verlag (Heidelberg). In the unlikely event that
we ever make a profit, it will be used to finance research, graduate student
travel to conferences etc. Nevertheless, we realise that we need professional
help to produce a quality journal and are grateful to Megalon for their
expertise in providing the InterNet access to the Journal itself and to
Springer, who patiently taught us what a real Journal looks like.
The goal is to convert the Journal of Molecular Modeling, which has now in the
beginning a conservative "book-like" format, into something approaching an
interactive journal in which the reader will have the possibility to rotate
graphics, extract diagrams etc. The technology for this sort of application
will be developed over the years and we will try to keep pace with its progress.
However, we will do our very best to incorporate anything that our authors
would like to have included, beginning with videos as a logical first step.
Finally, a word of thanke to Henryette Roth, without whom none of this would
have happened. She has worked above and beyond the call of duty to get us this
far.
