use of ChemTube3D
Enhancing the value of interactive 3D chemistry (iChem3D)
iChem3D
ChemTube3D
iChem3D is a JISC funded project that sets out to investigate the use of ChemTube3D an interactive, freely available, resource providing 3D simulations and animations modelling the structure and reactivity of organic molecules.
Team at UoLiverpool is researching the current use and investigating the development of a range of learning designs to be used in blended self-directed learning.
Currently they are investigating the use of ChemTube3D to establish the types of visitors using the resource and also how it is used and would like to hear how ChemTube3D is used by students, teachers or professional chemists.

Synthetic Organic Chemistry research: Analysis by scientometric indicators
Kumari's 2009 article in Scientometrics 80(3), p559-570, which includes the conclusion that:
"G7 nations, being leaders for the volume of literature published and citations attracted are showing a decreasing trend over the years probably due to shifting and diversification of their research efforts to other emerging research fronts. In contrast smaller nations though publishing low volume but high quality research are represented by Netherlands."
