The development of a new journal needs the experience of a publish<strong>in</strong>g house and the enthusiasm for the truly<br />

new possibilities represented by the Internet. The Spr<strong>in</strong>ger Verlag gives us a rich source of publish<strong>in</strong>g talent,<br />

while the editorial office situated at an university environment adds the creativity and enthusiasm.<br />

The goal is to convert the Journal of Molecular Model<strong>in</strong>g, which has now <strong>in</strong> the beg<strong>in</strong>n<strong>in</strong>g a conservative<br />

"book-like" <strong>format</strong>, <strong>in</strong>to someth<strong>in</strong>g approach<strong>in</strong>g an <strong>in</strong>teractive journal. Onl<strong>in</strong>e books offer a number of unique<br />

advantages. They can accommodate a great volume of <strong>in</strong><strong>format</strong>ion, not only scientific papers, but also tools,<br />

3D scenes, sample programs, videos, program <strong>in</strong>puts etc. The paper becomes the front end or <strong>in</strong>terface to much<br />

larger bodies of <strong>in</strong><strong>format</strong>ion. The first steps have already been make. Search features make it easy to locate<br />

<strong>in</strong><strong>format</strong>ion not only with<strong>in</strong> a s<strong>in</strong>gle contribution, but also across the entire journal and all the related<br />

<strong>in</strong><strong>format</strong>ion stored beh<strong>in</strong>d. The <strong>in</strong>corporation of 3D-structures and videos is merely rout<strong>in</strong>e. The technology to<br />

<strong>in</strong>corporate further applications will be developed over the years and we will try to keep pace with its progress.<br />
