Most accessed articles in October

Take a look at our ten most accessed papers for October.

Six of the top ten papers cover various forms of ‘openness’ in science, with topics including open access (see Openness as infrastructure), open bibliography (see Open Bibliography for Science, Technology, and Medicine) and open source software (see Open Babel: An open chemical toolbox). Many of these papers were published as part of the ‘Visions of a Semantic Future’ thematic series in Journal of Cheminformatics, which looks at the application of semantic technologies to molecular science, and how this will change the way science is published in the future.

It is encouraging to see that the most popular articles in the last month are those that look at publishing science openly, as this ties in with our view that open access to research is essential to ensure the rapid and efficient communication of research findings.
