Dr. Roy has published more than 450 research articles (ORCID: http://orcid.org/0000-0003-4486-8074) in refereed journals (current SCOPUS h index 57; total citations to date more than 17500). He has also coauthored three QSAR-related books (Academic Press and Springer), edited thirteen QSAR books (Springer, Academic Press, and IGI Global), and published twenty five book chapters. Dr. Roy is the Co-Editor-in-Chief of Molecular Diversity (Springer Nature) and an Associate Editor of Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal (Elsevier). Dr. Roy serves on the Editorial Boards of several International Journals including (1) European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry (Elsevier); (2) Journal of Molecular Graphics and Modelling (Elsevier); (3) Chemical Biology and Drug Design (Wiley); (4) Expert Opinion on Drug Discovery (Informa). Apart from this, Prof. Roy is a regular reviewer for QSAR papers in different journals. Prof. Roy has been a participant in the EU funded projects nanoBRIDGES and IONTOX apart from several national Government funded projects (UGC, AICTE, CSIR, ICMR, DBT, DAE). Prof. Roy has recently been placed in the list of the World's Top 2% science-wide author database (whole career data) (World rank 52 in the subfield of Medicinal & Biomolecular Chemistry) (Ioannidis, John P.A. (2025), "August 2025 data-update for "Updated science-wide author databases of standardized citation indicators", Elsevier Data Repository, V8, link: http://doi.org/10.17632/btchxktzyw.8). Arkaprava Banerjee is a Researcher (funded by the Life Sciences Research Board, DRDO, Govt. of India) working at the Drug Theoretics and Cheminformatics Laboratory, Department of Pharmaceutical Technology, Jadavpur University, Kolkata. Mr. Banerjee has twenty-nine research articles published in reputed journals and four book chapters with overall citations of 763 and an h-index of 17 (Scopus). His ORCID identifier is 0000-0001-8468-0784, His expertise lies in the similarity-based cheminformatic approaches like Read-Across and Read-Across Structure-Activity Relationship (RASAR) – a novel method that combines the concept of QSAR and Read-Across. Mr. Banerjee is also a Java programmer, who has developed various cheminformatic tools based on QSAR, Read-Across, and RASAR, and the tools are freely available from the DTC Laboratory Supplementary Website. Together with Prof. Kunal Roy, he has been one of the first researchers to develop quantitative models using similarity and error-based descriptors (quantitative/classification Read-Across Structure-Activity Relationship: q-RASAR/c-RASAR models) with applications in drug design, materials science, and property modeling. Recently, he coauthored a book on “q-RASAR,” which was published by Springer. He has also co-edited three volumes of “Materials Informatics” published by Springer.
