\maketitle

The \pkg{biblatex-chem} bundle is a set of styles for creating bibliographies
using \pkg{biblatex} in the style of a number common chemistry journals. The
bundle comprises styles based on the conventions of the Royal Society of
Chemistry, American Chemical Society and \emph{Angewandte Chemie}. It therefore
covers the journal styles of, for example:
\begin{itemize}
  \item \emph{Angewandte Chemie}
  \item \emph{Biochemistry}
  \item \emph{Chemical Communications}
  \item \emph{Chemistry~--~A European Journal}
  \item \emph{Dalton Transactions}
  \item \emph{Journal of the American Chemical Society}
  \item \emph{Organic \& Biomolecular Chemistry}
\end{itemize}
amongst others.

The bundle currently contains four \pkg{biblatex} style files, each of
which has its own documentation:
\begin{itemize}
   \item The \href{file:biblatex-chem-acs.pdf}{\texttt{chem-acs}} style,
     which covers most American Chemistry Society journals.
   \item The \href{file:biblatex-chem-angew.pdf}{\texttt{chem-angew}} style,
     which covers \emph{Angewandte Chemie}
     \emph{Chemistry~--~A European Journal}.
   \item The \href{file:biblatex-chem-biochem.pdf}{\texttt{chem-biochem}}
     style, which covers \emph{Biochemistry} and a small number of other
     American Chemistry Society journals.
   \item The \href{file:biblatex-chem-rsc.pdf}{\texttt{chem-rsc}} style,
     which covers all Royal Society of Chemistry journals.
\end{itemize}
