Electronic Journal of Theoretical Chemistry

In Volume 4 (1993), the preface dealt with the question of whether the number of extant journals in the field sufficed or were new ones needed Since 1993, we have seen the birth of two electronic online journals, the Journal of Molecular Modeling and, as of 1996, the Electronic Journal of Theoretical Chemistry, Structure Interactions. Also, many of the older computational chemistry journals have been trying to reinvent themselves. In fact, they seem to be converging such that their scopes overlap more and more with one another. We comment further on this later.

The Electronic Journal of Theoretical Chemistry (ETJC) (John Wiley Sons) is similar to the above three journals, but there are some small differences According to their Internet home page EJTC publishes in electronic form only. The publication model will be article by article with no preset frequency. New articles will be announced on the EJTC Home Page and subscribers will be alerted by e-mail. An annual CD-ROM archive of all manuscripts published during the year will form part of the subscription package. Table of Contents and other information are available without subscription via the public access area of the EJTC Home Page . While the table of contents is free to nonsubscribers, software and book reviews can be read only by subscribers.
