The title says it all. Apparently, Chemistry Central is getting together a new Open Access journal, the Journal of Cheminformatics. There's a placeholder website already up, naming David Wild as editor-in-chief. There's no announcement yet on the Chemistry Central website, and no mention of a timeframe, but I guess we'll hear more in the near future...It's a canny move, I'd say. Cheminformaticians are among the most tech-savvy of chemists, are used to constant change in their toolset (e.g. new programming languages, new libraries, new analysis methods), and thus the most likely to adopt to new paradigms.

It's an interesting move indeed... I guess authors would keep copyright on their papers, so that is a clear selling point.
