“Computational chemistry” has a duality - independent
science and non-independent science depending on how
you look at it :-)

For the grant or scholarship applications, where
should the phrase “computational chemistry” be? My
answer is nowhere. Nether under chemistry, nor under
physical chemistry. A computational chemist could be a
network or database administrator, and could be a
computer programmer. Computational chemistry is too
broad, and should be attached to specific scientific
disciplines. It is better than to attach the
scientific disciplines under computational chemistry.
