Dear Colleague,

Later this year I will be editing a special issue of the Journal of Chemical Information and Modeling (formerly J. Chem. Inf. Comput. Sci.) with a focus on collaboratories, virtual laboratories, grid computing and other e-science issues. I aim to contact all the best teams in this field with a view to getting them to submit a manuscript, with a deadline of September 1, 2005. I am hoping for a publication date early in 2006; papers would appear on the Web from the end of 2005. The Web manuscript submission page is at https://paragon.acs.org/paragon/index.jsp. It is important that you state in your cover letter that your paper is for my focus issue on e-science. Manuscripts will be peer reviewed, of course, so I cannot promise publication: only contributions that meet the usual standards of JCIM will be accepted. I am writing to you to encourage you to submit a manuscript and to help me publicize this exciting venture. I do hope that you will be interested in giving me your support.

Sincerely yours,

Dr. Wendy A. Warr
