ACS members may have noticed that the August 17 issue of C&ENews is a double issue discussing the ways that the Internet has impacted the practice of chemistry at both scientific and operational levels. The guest editorial for the issue, found at
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__cen.acs.org_articles_93_i32_Chemistry-2DInternet.html&d=BQIFAg&c=lb62iw4YL4RFalcE2hQUQealT9-RXrryqt9KZX2qu2s&r=meWM1Buqv4IQ27AlK1OJRjcQl09S1Zta6YXKalY_Io0&m=4geA7Z8LcMo4R7LVTIT2AGDhuUnZ9S3Fk1B2cnvkxhU&s=pujdpMClSV4Gt75KFyUt_6RYQRlC4YE-tYQq3hkXg1E&e=
does a good job of providing an overview of those impacts, discussing some of the key issues that the iRAMP project is considering, such as assessing information quality; supporting more effective peer review; and supporting effective navigation of many different sources of chemical safety information. People interested in an overview of these issues are likely to find the editorial and accompanying articles worth the time to read.

Let me know if you have any questions about this.
