February 22, 2000 Subject: Computer Software/Database for Review As the Software Review Editor for the ACS Journal of Chemical Information and Computer Science (JCICS) I often get software for review in the journal. I have one (1) new web-based software/database product. I am looking for someone who is willing to review this product on the web. The review should be completed in 1-3 months. The length of the review is 4-10 double spaced typed pages. Sample reviews can be found in most of the recent issues of JCICS. Please try to give me some (short) reason to choose you over another person. I have tried this approach for about the past five years and it is working reasonably well. (REMINDER: For those who haven't finished your reviews of software sent months and months ago, this last sentence does not apply to you!) As a result, I am continuing this new method to find reviewers using this e-mail/user group system. I reserve the right to abandon this if it is a problem, or inappropriate. I will not notify people if I have found a reviewer. If you don't hear from me within a few days I have chosen someone else to review the particular package. As I get many, many, (too many) replies to this message, please do not respond after 25 February 2000 (Friday), as I am sure the software will be gone by then. I can be reached on Internet (STEVE@HELLERS.COM). This is a new e-mail address. Steve Heller The package I now have is: ACD/I-Lab, the Interactive Laboratory is an online service including systematic naming generation, NMR and physicochemical prediction, and online database searching by structure and substructure. The person doing the review will be given a few hundred dollars credit to to access www.acdlabs.com/ilab to try it out and then write the review. While it is an online service but comes connected to the FREE Chemsketch interface for people to connect to. The reviewer would need to download CHemsketch to connect or use the Java applet. The reviewer MUST be using a very recent version of Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. Stephen R. Heller, Ph. D.
