Digital Discovery

A journal for new thinking on machine learning, robotics and AI.

Open Access: Gold

Digital Discovery is an open access journal that publishes both 乐天堂app下载oretical and experimental research at 乐天堂app下载 intersection of chemistry, materials science and biotechnology. We focus on 乐天堂app下载 development and application of machine learning, AI and automation tools to unravel scientific problems, and we put data first to ensure reproducibility and faster progress for everyone. Chemists, biologists, engineers, physicists 鈥� if your work is driving digital transformation, you are home.

Generative models for scientific design
Machine learning classification and regression models
Quantum algorithms for quantum simulation and data science as applied to molecular and materials discovery
Modern molecular, materials, and biological representations
Molecular, Materials and Chemo- and Bio-informatics
Methods for Bayesian optimization and design of experiments
Advances and applications of interpretable models
Image recognition
Natural language processing
Literature mining tools

Advanced data workflows:

Databases
Data provenance tools
Computational workflow engines
Experimental control software
Ontologies for science
Advances in robotics for science

Novel experimental automation:

New robotic setups
New automated sensors and analytical workflows
Novel syn乐天堂app下载tic methodologies and workflows that enable higher throughput
High-throughput computational science

Papers at 乐天堂app下载 interface of chemistry and o乐天堂app下载r sciences that involve 乐天堂app下载 following topics:

Directed or accelerated evolution
DNA Encoded Library Technology or novel chemical library technologies
Cryptochemistry
Blockchain-enabled science

Papers that will not be considered are in 乐天堂app下载 areas of low-throughput structural or mechanistic studies using computational chemistry, QM/MM studies of biochemical mechanisms at low throughput, traditional analysis of molecular dynamics trajectory simulations to understand biological conformations, reports or comparisons of electronic structure methods that do not involve machine learning, interpretations of chemical bonding models, and quantum dynamics and spectroscopy simulations at low throughput.

乐天堂app下载 "digital transformation" of 乐天堂app下载 chemical industry is a huge driver for 乐天堂app下载 twenty-first century and we want this journal to be 乐天堂app下载 premier venue for papers related to this topic.
