While they are often seen as a mark of scientific impact, in reality the reasons for citing a paper are manifold. Egon Willighagen outlines a pilot running in Journal of Cheminformatics that aims to build more information info reference citations. ]]> https://blogs.biomedcentral.com/on-physicalsciences/2021/07/20/typed-citations-journal-of-cheminformatics/feed/ 0 https://blogs.biomedcentral.com/on-physicalsciences/2020/05/07/recent-scientific-discoveries-in-johannes-vermeers-mistress-and-maid-put-perennial-misunderstandings-about-the-masterpiece-to-rest/ https://blogs.biomedcentral.com/on-physicalsciences/2020/05/07/recent-scientific-discoveries-in-johannes-vermeers-mistress-and-maid-put-perennial-misunderstandings-about-the-masterpiece-to-rest/#respond Thu, 07 May 2020 13:00:23 +0000 https://14.175 Mistress and Maid stands out among the paintings of Johannes Vermeer for its large figures set against a plain background. The relatively simple composition has been a source of puzzlement to scholars for decades. In this post, Silvia Centeno and Dorothy Mahon outline their recent analysis of the painting and what they learnt about it in the process.]]> https://blogs.biomedcentral.com/on-physicalsciences/2020/05/07/recent-scientific-discoveries-in-johannes-vermeers-mistress-and-maid-put-perennial-misunderstandings-about-the-masterpiece-to-rest/feed/ 0 https://blogs.biomedcentral.com/on-physicalsciences/2020/03/17/how-well-can-molecules-be-generated-by-ai/ https://blogs.biomedcentral.com/on-physicalsciences/2020/03/17/how-well-can-molecules-be-generated-by-ai/#respond Tue, 17 Mar 2020 11:00:28 +0000 https://14.148 Deep learning and artificial intelligence facilitates advances in all areas of science, including cheminformatics.
