The big problem for scientific writers is that publishers at very best will accept plain LaTeX. A notable exception is the American Physical Society who developed revTeX, a LaTeX package well suited to their publishing style. The American Chemical Society will accept plain LaTeX. Often, other scientific publishers as for Word!
Rather off-topic, but as I am a chemist (and also write the "achemso" LaTeX package for the ACS), I'd point out that many more "physical" chemistry journals will accept LaTeX material. The ACS will also take "author generated" PDFs, so I assume ConTeXt/LaTeX/plain/whatever. The thing with chemical formulae is that while in-line ones are okay as text ("CH2=CH2 + H2O -> CH3-CH2OH"), complex structures are really a pain to enter in TeX (despite many valiant efforts). So most synthetic chemists use ChemDraw. -- Joseph Wright
