Title:
REVOLUTION OF THE CHEMICAL JOURNAL

Abstract:
REVOLUTION OF THE CHEMICAL JOURNAL, Steven M. Bachrach and Stephen R. Heller, Department of Chemistry, Northern Illinois University, DeKalb, IL 60115 and USDA, ARS, Bldg. 005, Room 337, Beltsville, MD 20705-2350

Global communication using the Internet now affords the technology to radically alter the state of the chemistry journal. Instead of presenting just static data and images, full spectra, molecular coordinates, 3-dimensional representations of instrumentation, even raw data can be included within articles for manipulation by the reader. Video and audio clips can be seamlessly incorporated into documents. Perhaps even more remarkable is the ability of the reader to customize the look and operation of the journal. Publication times will be reduced since reviews will be processed by email rather then through the postal system and articles will appear as they are accepted, instead of the delay until an issue date is reached. These features will be discussed within the framework of the Internet Journal of Chemistry.
