Abstract

The Society of Computer Chemistry, Japan (SCCJ) was established on January 1, 2002 by merging the Japan Chemistry Program Exchange (JCPE) and the Chemical Software Society of Japan (CSSJ), and will soon celebrate its 20th anniversary. This article looks back on the past 20 years of SCCJ by introducing literatures related to computer chemistry. First, the numbers of literatures are compared by individual research fields such as chemistry, physics, engi -neering, materials science, and biochemistry. Next, some of highly cited literatures with top 100 rankings are explained with categorizing into methodologies, software, database, and topics.
