Conference on Computational Support for Theoretical Chemistry

So despite the failure of the 1970 Conference on Computational Support for Theoretical Chemistry to achieve its aims, computational chemistry flourished during the 1980s. Evidence of this can be found in the appearance of new journals and in the expansion of the literature. A long list of journals and newsletters dedicated to computer-aided chemistry, along with their dates of inception, has been presented by Kenneth Lipkowitz and Donald Boyd, computational chemists and editors of Reviews in Computational Chemistry (see Table 1). Lipkowitz and Boyd also presented data on the number of articles abstracted by the Chemical Abstracts Service from 11 journals covering aspects of computational chemistry. Their data showed a general increase in the number of articles, with some fluctuations, going from approximately 680 in 1978 to approximately 1175 in 1988. ...
