There is also Sweave of course... - Egon Willighagen

There are some small simple steps that chemistry publishers can use immediately to add "automatic executable functions" to catch errors in papers. For example simply running a melting point search using this free open tool http://usefulchem.blogspot.com/2011... would have caught a huge melting point error in a 2008 paper on this compound http://usefulchem.blogspot.com/2011... The only policy change from the publisher's standpoint would be to ask authors to submit some type of machine-readable identifier for compounds (SMILES, InChI, CSID, whatever) - Jean-Claude Bradley

Have you started using Chem4Word yet? - Egon Willighagen
