I am still happy having\npublished in the <a href=\"http://pubs.acs.org/journal/jcisd8\">Journal of Chemical Information and Modeling</a> (formerly <em>JCICS</em>), and still review papers for that journal; it\nstill is the main forum in cheminformatics, but recently <a href=\"https://chem-bla-ics.linkedchemistry.info/2009/03/22/journal-of-cheminformatics-i-hope.html\">challenged <i class=\"fa-solid fa-recycle fa-xs\"></i></a>.</p>\n\n<p>I have come to the conclusion that copyright transfer will not be my author choice in the future, and the ACS AuthorChoice still seems to require copyright transfer,\nif I do not misunderstand the legal talk.</p>\n\n<p>So, if you like a copy of those six chapters, send me an email requesting the a print copy of my thesis from my defense (I still have a few around). (Alternatively,\ndonate to my project to make these chapters AuthorChoice, but the ACS charges quite some money, and Google Adsense is not compensating for that quite yet.)</p>",
