Tony: will there be a volume, issue, page or an article numbering system for the ChemSpider J. Chem. ? I noticed an internal numbering system but what will CA or WoS use to identify the articles?

I have applied for an ISSN and am awaiting feedback at present.

Do you have an ISSN … as it is helpful for SFX linking

Ashley, It’s hard to know whether the publication will be indexed in any of the major databases. We are hopeful that the content of the journal will be of sufficient interest to the indexing organizations and will make them aware of our efforts. Historically Open Access journals took a long time to get indexed but the world has changed and they get picked up rather quickly. We are hoping for that. Certainly one of the “indexing organizations” the world cares about today will pick it up overnight. Look at the first hits here: http://www.google.com/search?q=chemspider+journal+of+chemistry&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a

We already have articles coming in, mostly by word of mouth. Once we’re past the first issue and have demonstrated what is possible then I would hope that the demonstration will encourage submissions.

Not everyone has a blog, a wiki or wants one. Not yet anyway. It is a small community but time should see the change. We’re not at a time where wikis and blogs are indexed, where there value to a CV might be while you and I believe they should be. Maybe GitHub is a good model. Maybe there are others. For now we’re starting here. We are starting here since it’s a low activation barrier to do so. There is little additional bandwidth left outside of everything else we are up to so we’re doing what we can to contribute with the time we have available. Wish us luck
