This book is the latest volume in an annual series reflecting on current advances in chemical information. It serves to spotlight what is happening now in the broad area encompassed by this subject, enabling us to witness changes as they occur, to observe new applications of new technology, and to monitor the interaction between general trading economics and the advanced information sector. Further Advances in Chemical Information covers a number of interesting themes that reflect the somewhat uncertain times now facing both the information industry and its customers in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Topics covered this year include a comparison of different services in the 2-D and 3-D search and modelling areas, rapid developments in in-house systems, and neural network applications in chemistry. The series is now also well known for its technical and research papers. Further Advances in Chemical Information is up to date, international in scope, and forms a bridge between industry and academia. It is essential reading for information scientists and patent agents worldwide.

In the time since the second edition of The ACS Style Guide was published, the rapid growth of electronic communication has dramatically changed the scientific, technical, and medical (STM) publication world. This dynamic mode of dissemination is enabling scientists, engineers, and medicalpractitioners all over the world to obtain and transmit information quickly and easily. An essential constant in this changing environment is the requirement that information remain accurate, clear, unambiguous, and ethically sound.This extensive revision of The ACS Style Guide thoroughly examines electronic tools now available to assist STM writers in preparing manuscripts and communicating with publishers. Valuable updates include discussions of markup languages, citation of electronic sources, online submission ofmanuscripts, and preparation of figures, tables, and structures. In keeping current with the changing environment, this edition also contains references to many resources on the internet.With this wealth of new information, The ACS Style Guide's Third Edition continues its long tradition of providing invaluable insight on ethics in scientific communication, the editorial process, copyright, conventions in chemistry, grammar, punctuation, spelling, and writing style for any STMauthor, reviewer, or editor. The Third Edition is the definitive source for all information needed to write, review, submit, and edit scholarly and scientific manuscripts.
