HELLER" Subject: Software for Review To: "chemistry-request" 31 October, 1991 Subject: Computer Software for Review As the Software Review Editor for the ACS Journal of Chemical Information and Computer Science (JCICS) I often get software for review in the journal. I have a few packages now in hand (see below) and I am looking for people who are willing to review the software. In return for the review you get to keep the software. The review should be completed in 1-2 months. The length of the review is 4-10 double spaced typed pages. Sample reviews can be found in most of the recent issues of JCICS. I tried this approach with some software for review last month. I found people who agreed to do the reviews and now have the software. (Hopefully they will actually do the reviews.) As a result of the experiment last month I am continuing this new method to find reviewers using this bulletin board. I hope it works. I reserve the right to abandon this if it is a problem, or inappropriate. I will not notify people if I have found a reviewer. I can be reached on INTERNET, or if necessary, by phone at 301-344-6055. Steve Heller The packages are: 1. Jandel Scientific, TableCurve 3.0, IBM-PC. Package allows one to find the mathematical equation that best describes their experimental data.
