Editing Cheminformatics (section)

== Background ==
Cheminformatics combines the scientific working fields of chemistry, computer science, and information science—for example in the areas of [[topology (chemistry)|topology]], [[chemical graph theory]], [[information retrieval]] and [[data mining]] in the [[chemical space]].<ref name="Gasteiger_2004">{{cite book|editor= Gasteiger J. |editor2=Engel T. | date=2004 | title=Chemoinformatics: A Textbook |location=New York, NY | publisher=Wiley|isbn = 3527306811 }}</ref>{{page needed|date=February 2020}}<ref>{{cite book|author1 = Leach, A.R. |author2 =Gillet, V.J. | date=2003 | title=An Introduction to Chemoinformatics |location=Berlin, DE | publisher=Springer|isbn = 1402013477 }}</ref>{{page needed|date=February 2020}}<ref name="Varnek_2011a">{{cite journal | author1 = Varnek, A. | author2 = Baskin, I. | year = 2011 | title = Chemoinformatics as a Theoretical Chemistry Discipline | journal = Molecular Informatics | volume = 30 | issue = 1 | pages = 20–32 | doi=10.1002/minf.201000100| pmid = 27467875 | s2cid = 21604072 }}</ref><ref name="Bunin_2006">{{cite book|author1= Bunin, B.A. |author2=Siesel, B. |author3=Morales, G. |author4=Bajorath J. | date=2006 | title=Chemoinformatics: Theory, Practice, & Products |location=New York, NY | publisher=Springer|isbn = 9781402050008 }}</ref>{{page needed|date=February 2020}} Cheminformatics can also be applied to data analysis for various industries like [[paper industry|paper]] and [[pulp industry|pulp]], dyes and such allied industries.<ref>{{Cite web |last1=Williams |first1=Tova |last2=University |first2=North Carolina State |title=Cheminformatics approaches to creating new hair dyes |url=https://phys.org/news/2018-10-cheminformatics-approaches-hair-dyes.html |access-date=2022-06-20 |website=phys.org |language=en}}</ref>
