The Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation publishes papers reporting new theories, methodology, and/or important applications in quantum electronic structure, molecular dynamics, and statistical mechanics. Perspectives are interpretive accounts on subjects of current interest in the chemical theory and computational field. Perspectives are the intended forum for experts to present their viewpoints on emerging or active areas of research that affect the research community practices.

For example, manuscripts that introduce new concepts, proposing original models, offering the author’s interpretation of statistical trends, are published as Perspectives. Here is a compilation of our highly read Perspectives:
