Because I needed to update my CV and publication list, I double checked my own list with my online profiles at CiteULike, Mendeley, Google Scholar, and ResearcherID (derived from Web of Science). The former two I have control over and are significantly more accurate. Peter Murray-Rust tweeted this week that Web of Science only covers some 3%; I do not know about that, but in the life sciences it is more. But far enough from 100% that also for me, not all my research output is captured by Web of Science.

Still, we all know that Web of Science is crucial to our future, because too many institutes use data derived from that database as part of their evaluation of their employees.

A few weeks ago Govert Schilling invited people via his twitter account to review his new Higgs book in Dutch. Yes, in Dutch. (The cover is shown on the right, taken in a book shop in Utrecht.)

Schilling has been popularizing science (particularly astronomy) to the Dutch public for a long time, and besides writing articles in news papers and magazine, also wrote a long list of books. Just that? No.

May my readers find use in this template.

Dear Publisher $X, Thank you for your email. However, I do not wish hear to hear about special issues or new journals via email. Please announce those via the social webs, and remove my email from your contact database. Your journal does not seem to be (gold) Open Access, nor accepts LaTeX as authoring environment, which makes me quite uninterested.

It is a great pleasure (and honor) to be able to speak at the upcoming Herman Skolnik Award Symposium (where Peter Murray-Rust and Henry Rzepa will be awarded). Unfortunately, I will not be present in person and will give my presentation remotely.

Of course, the Bioclipse team in Uppsala has been working on QSAR and proteochemometrics in Bioclipse form the start. But OpenTox (doi:10.1186/1758-2946-2-7) can generate (predictive) regression models too (it can do a lot). And we integrated Bioclipse and OpenTox before (doi:10.1186/1756-0500-4-487).

So, when Nina asked me about exposing the QSAR model building functionality of OpenTox in Bioclipse, I had a look at it.

CiteULike has been recommending interesting papers for a while already, but Google Scholar has now introduced such functionality too. And it works, and has a nice touch that is shows me if that interesting paper is citing my work.

The CDK readers and writers have options to customize that input and output. For example, the MDL readers have the option to read T and D as hydrogen isotopes, something not supported by the format specification itself.

With the help from Stefan Ferstl at StackExchange I got a Taglet set up to output all IO settings to the JavaDoc:

The full patch is in preparation, and will be submitted soon.

Our BiGCaT group is looking for an all-round bioinformatics system administrator, Maastricht, the Netherlands to support our bio- and cheminformatics research on various Open Source projects, including the Chemistry Development Kit, WikiPathways, PathVisio, and more.

Details of this vacancy can be found in the Jobs section of BioStar (see the screenshot on the right).

This blog deals with chemblaics in the broader sense. Chemblaics (pronounced chem-bla-ics) is the science that uses computers to solve problems in chemistry, biochemistry and related fields. The big difference between chemblaics and areas such as chem(o)?informatics, chemometrics, computational chemistry, etc, is that chemblaics only uses open source software, open data, and open standards, making experimental results reproducible and validatable. And this is a big difference!
