Scope
Aims, scope and focus
Artificial Intelligence Chemistry is published by Elsevier. By OpenAlex counts of its recent articles, its largest topics are Machine Learning in Materials Science, Computational Drug Discovery Methods and Advanced Chemical Physics Studies, together about 59.5% of its articles. Its main subfields are Molecular Biology. (generated from OpenAlex topic counts and CAS ranking data)
The journal will broadly cover all areas of chemistry where artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning approaches are used. While studies in more traditional sub-disciplines of chemist will certainly be considered, we would welcome and encourage submissions of work that could potentially stimulate interdisciplinary interests involving AI. All submissions must provide a significant contribution to our understanding of contemporary and future AI theory, AI methods, and/or AI applications in chemistry, medicine, biology, and materials science. Studies conducted at all spatial and temporal scales will be considered. We will be open to submissions on all relevant topics and but particularly interested in the following areas of research: Quantum chemical methods combining artificial intelligence (AI) and big data techniques; AI oriented calculations and data system; Construction of AI models; AI assisted materials design; AI assisted structure-activity relationship; Machine learning protocols and application in chemistry; Multi-scale modelling method development; Intelligent spectrum analysis based on AI; Application of AI in complex chemical systems; Application of AI in organic chemistry; Application of AI in drug discovery; Application of AI in identification of sprout compounds and targets; Development of AI software and hardware; Research on the integrating experimental and theory; AI-based spectroscopic analysis and monitoring. The forms of articles to be accepted include reviews, research articles, correspondence letters, news items, etc.
