In the last years, external validation of QSAR models was the subject of intensive debate in the scientific literature. Different groups have proposed different metrics to find "the best" parameter to characterize the external predictivity of a QSAR model. This editorial summarizes the history of parameter development for the external QSAR model validation and suggests, once again, the concurrent use of several different metrics to assess the real predictive capability of QSAR models.

Abstract
In the last years, external validation of QSAR models was the subject of intensive debate in the scientific literature. Different groups have proposed different metrics to find "the best" parameter to characterize the external predictivity of a QSAR model. This editorial summarizes the history of parameter development for the external QSAR model validation and suggests, once again, the concurrent use of several different metrics to assess the real predictive capability of QSAR models.
