Publish your Chemical Science research, methods, software, and data fast and openly
Submit nowChemistry is fundamental to everything we do. The open and transparent sharing of research within this essential arm of science can help to shape the future of the environment, drug discovery, medical treatments, sustainability, food production, materials and much more.
Publishing with F1000Research enables chemists to stay ahead of the curve through the rapid dissemination of research. All articles benefit from open and transparent peer review, which promotes constructive feedback and open discussion. A wide array of article types also provides researchers with greater flexibility and credit for their full range of work.
Publish across a wide variety of chemistry disciplines such as those below or within our dedicated Chemical Information Science gateway.
- Computational chemistry

Benchmark assessment of molecular geometries and energies from small molecule force fields [version 1; peer review: 2 approved]
Victoria T. Lim, David F. Hahn, Gary Tresadern, Christopher I. Bayly, David L. Mobley
Focusing on small molecules of fewer than 50 heavy atoms, our aim in this work is to compare nine force fields. On a dataset comprising 22,675 molecular structures of 3,271 molecules, we analyzed force field optimized geometries and conformer energies compared to reference quantum mechanical data.
Machine learning meets pKa [version 2; peer review: 2 approved]
Marcel Baltruschat and Paul Czodrowski
We present a small molecule pKa prediction tool entirely written in Python. We test our model on two external validation sets, where our model performs comparable to Marvin and is better than a recently published open source model.
Virtual-screening workflow tutorials and prospective results from the Teach-Discover-Treat competition 2014 against malaria [version 2; peer review: 3 approved]
Sereina Riniker, Gregory A. Landrum, Floriane Montanari, Santiago D. Villalba, Julie Maier, Johanna M. Jansen, W. Patrick Walters, Anang A. Shelat
The goal was to build a predictive model for anti-malaria activity based on a phenotypic high-throughput screen (HTS), and to use that model subsequently to select the next set of compounds for screening.
"I’m very enthusiastic about the F1000Research model and the way it combines pre-prints with formal publication in a cost-efficient, fully open-access model.
Publishing with F1000Research was a great experience. I love how it’s integrated with Overleaf, allowing direct submission, and it’s great having the review process occur in the open and get permanently attached to the article."
