I like to thank everyone who replied, comments, recognized themselves in, etc in my message about the state of publishing. I did not expect so, but my story is not unique. Worse, it is really important. The common five years will see a huge change in how we communicate literature. My expectations:

journal publisher ecosystem will shake updata and software citations will become the norm"available upon request" for anything backing an article will no longer be ethically accepted in the "version of record"everything will become a record of version, instead of a version of record (ie. under version control)peer review will be about discussing science again (instead of discussing typesetting issues)you will enjoy publishing againChange is not just coming, it is already among us.

In this open letter, I will explain why I intend to step down as Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Cheminformatics, which also happens to be a Springer Nature journal. It took me two years to come to this decision, and it cannot be claimed that I did not carefully evaluate the various aspects of it. However, I have now come to the conclusion that the opportunity it gives me to implement my ambition to shape open science chemistry now conflicts with the interests of Springer Nature.

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!
