This commentary provides an overview of the publications in, and the citations to, the first twelve volumes of the Journal of Cheminformatics, covering the period 2009–2020. The analysis is based on the 622 articles that have appeared in the journal during that time and that have been indexed in the Clarivate Web of Science Core Collection database. It is clear that the journal has established itself as one of the most important publications in the field of cheminformatics: it attracts citations not only from other journals in its specialist field but also from biological and chemical journals more widely, and moreover from journals that are far removed in focus from it but that are still able to benefit from the articles that it publishes.

评论：化学信息学杂志的前十二年

本评论概述了《化学信息学杂志》前 12 卷中的出版物和引文，涵盖 2009 年至 2020 年期间。该分析基于当时发表在期刊上的 622 篇文章，这些文章已被 Clarivate Web of Science 核心合集数据库索引。很明显，该期刊已将自己确立为化学信息学领域最重要的出版物之一：它不仅吸引了该专业领域的其他期刊的引用，而且还吸引了更广泛的生物和化学期刊的引用，此外，它还吸引了以下期刊的引用。远离它的焦点，但仍然能够从它发布的文章中受益。
