“Chem­istry: There’s An App For That

National Chem­istry Week, Oct. 16–22: There’s an App for that. Chemists on the go can check the safety of cos­metic ingre­di­ents, scroll through mil­lions of chem­i­cal struc­tures and mol­e­c­u­lar for­mu­las, and model liq­uid chro­matog­ra­phy flow rates.”

Pro­vided by the Royal Soci­ety of Chem­istry and Symyx Technologies.

UK Royal Soci­ety of Chem­istry announces beta release of Chem­Spi­der Syn­thet­ic­Pages­beta — 05 Feb 2010

The Royal Soci­ety of Chem­istry (RSC), UK, has announced the release of Chem­Spi­der Syn­thet­ic­Pages­beta, a com­mu­nity resource of reac­tion syn­the­sis pro­ce­dures. The launch of a beta site is the result of a col­lab­o­ra­tion between Chem­Spi­der, a free online struc­ture cen­tric com­mu­nity for chemists, and the orig­i­nal Syn­thet­ic­Pages. Syn­thet­ic­Pages is a freely avail­able inter­ac­tive data­base of syn­thetic chem­istry for the dis­sem­i­na­tion of prac­ti­cal and reli­able organic, organometal­lic and inor­ganic chem­i­cal syn­the­sis, reac­tions and pro­ce­dures deposited by syn­thetic chemists.

Under the part­ner­ship, Chem­Spi­der will host con­tent from Syn­thet­ic­Pages. A search of Chem­Spi­der Syn­thet­ic­Pages­beta allows iden­ti­fi­ca­tion and detail­ing of the exper­i­men­tal pro­ce­dures for the syn­the­sis of spe­cific chem­i­cal com­pounds. The data­base has been seeded with SyntheticPages.org data and will be expanded by inclu­sion of data from jour­nal arti­cles pub­lished by RSC.

Researchers will also be able to deposit their own syn­thetic pro­ce­dures to the site. Using online seman­tic markup tech­nolo­gies and inte­grat­ing to the Chem­Spi­der data­base will allow inter­ac­tive dis­play of chem­i­cal struc­tures, spec­tral data and a mul­ti­tude of related data. Sci­en­tists can com­ment upon a grow­ing resource of inter­ac­tive syn­thetic processes, while lever­ag­ing the resources con­tained within the Chem­Spi­der databases.

Chem­Spi­der Syn­thet­ic­Pages­beta is released in beta form for feed­back from the com­mu­nity at www.chemspider.com/syntheticpages.

Metallomics: Integrated Biometal Science — New journal

 RSC Pub­lish­ing announces online pub­li­ca­tion of the first issue of new jour­nal, Met­al­lomics — 16 Jan 2009

Prince­ton has:  http://www.rsc.org/Publishing/Journals/MT/Index.asp

Sci­en­tific pub­lisher RSC Pub­lish­ing, UK, the pub­lish­ing arm of the Royal Soci­ety of Chem­istry, has announced the online pub­li­ca­tion of the first issue of a new inter­dis­ci­pli­nary jour­nal — Met­al­lomics: Inte­grated bio­metal sci­ence. The jour­nal will appeal to chem­i­cal sci­en­tists, bio-scientists and envi­ron­men­tal sci­en­tists from across acad­e­mia, indus­try and government.

While Met­al­lomics will pub­lish 6 issues in 2009, it will increase its pub­lish­ing fre­quency to 12 issues in 2010. Met­al­lomics issue 1 con­tains 3 crit­i­cal reviews and 8 pri­mary research arti­cles. In a land­mark new paper, Hiromu Saku­rai and col­leagues in Japan describe how a drug based on a chem­i­cal found in gar­lic may be a poten­tial new can­di­date for treat­ing both type 1 and type 2 dia­betes, while Jen­nifer A. Meyer and Dana M. Spence review the role of met­als in diabetes.

Met­al­lomics comes just one week after RSC Pub­lish­ing launched Inte­gra­tive Biol­ogy, a new jour­nal cov­er­ing the quan­ti­ta­tive bio­sciences. The jour­nal also pub­lished its first issue online. The cur­rent issues of both jour­nals will be freely avail­able to all web users through­out 2009 and 2010. Insti­tu­tional online access to all 2009/2010 con­tent is also free fol­low­ing a sim­ple reg­is­tra­tion process.

Wholly owned by the Royal Soci­ety of Chem­istry, RSC Pub­lish­ing pub­lishes a wide range of jour­nals, mag­a­zines, data­bases and books. It claims to be one of the largest pub­lish­ers of chem­i­cal sci­ence infor­ma­tion.
