Who is Reading and Who is Citing the JBCS?

On visiting the JBCS webpage, the following information will be easily found: "The Journal of the Brazilian Chemical Society embraces all aspects of chemistry except education, philosophy and history of chemistry. It is a medium for reporting selected original and significant contributions to new chemical knowledge. The JBCS is published monthly by the Brazilian Chemical Society without cost for the authors". No fees for publication are charged and, since 2004, a free open access policy has been adopted.1
The JBCS goal is to be a platform for the dissemination of chemical knowledge for both the Brazilian community and abroad.
Despite not being obsessed about performance parameters, such as journal impact factors, we certainly want to increase our overall impact by assuring that we are serving the community who works with and learns about chemistry mainly by publishing relevant papers.

The Monte-Carlo sampling strategy was implemented in Bayesian regularized genetic neural network (BRGNN) algorithm for quantitative structure-activity relationship modeling of acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) inhibitors. The calculated activities using BRGNN algorithm in this work are in good agreement with experimental values. The results of the present work emphasizes on the role of positive charge and polarity of molecules on ACC inhibitory activity.
