Following the success of our previous poll which was followed by an extensive and interesting discussion, and in order to better our Bi(Tri,..)-Weekly Digests, we present a new poll which will determine once and for all, which is the best journal for the computational structural biologist. 

Of course we’re all reading all of the journals below, and certainly each has its own benefits. There is also the question if by “favorite” journal we mean where would you like to publish, or which are you enjoying reading the most? We know the question isn’t adequately defined. Nontheless, we urge you to pick one and try to explain in the comments what makes that journal special.

Update: additional journals proposed by the readers (which fall under the “other” category): JMB, Biochemistry, Protein science, Protein engineering, Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, Journal of Computer-Aided Molecular Design, Journal of Molecular Modeling, Journal of Chemical Information and Modeling, BMC Structural Biology, Biopolymers & BMC Bioinformatics. Keep ‘em coming.

Did we miss the best Journal of them all? Tell us in the comments and we’ll add it to the poll.

Instead of our regular Bi-weekly digest, Lets take a pause and dissect the trends in computational structural biology. As you may noticed, we added to the sidebar a “Structural Bioinformatics” titles feed. This feed is maintained by ~ 30 people at CiteULike, grouped by their liking to: “topics ranging from sequence-structure relationships to molecular simulations of biomolecules”. We used wordle to present popular items on that feed (around 1350 titles) and the results are striking.
