<bold>Chemistry Journal to Launch on Internet </bold>The first issue of the Internet Journal of Chemistry (IJC) will be published on the Internet on 1 January 1998. Aimed at encouraging global interaction within the chemical community, IJC will present the latest chemical research findings alongside development of chemical Internet resources. Coverage will include the latest research in all disciplines of chemistry; developments of Internet resources specifically for chemists; plus reviews of the most relevant chemistry WWW sites. With publication not limited to page space, IJC will also encourage interactive comment and debate on published papers using electronic resources. Benefits for readers of IJC are multifold: Publication on the Internet permits colour graphics, video and animation, chemical structures and data that is not normally associated with print products. This includes interactive tools enabling the readers to manipulate structures and data. Papers featured in IJC will be peer-reviewed and will be published on the Internet as they are accepted, aiming to bring the article to the reader as quickly as possible. All articles will be available in HTML and the Journal will also provide long-term archive retrieval opportunities, both on the Internet and by alternative means, such as CD-ROM. First year subscriptions to IJC will be free of charge. Thereafter competitive annual subscription rates will be charged. Published by Infotrust, Ltd., IJC's Editor, Steven Bachrach comments "The principal aim of The Internet Journal of Chemistry is to provide an electronic venue for the communication of current chemical research, with enabling tools that allow for presentation of information that cannot be distributed in print. In addition, IJC will encourage the development of Internet resources for chemists. This includes news of Internet databases and tools; new software for handling Internet data; visualization tools and the like. "IJC is a fully electronic Journal, committed to the electronic medium. As such, IJC will feature "living documents" - an interactive service for readers and contributors alike which will encourage comment. Readers will be able to customize the look-and-feel of the Journal, allowing each readers to view articles in an environment most suited to themselves."
