Goddard has made many contributions to theoretical chemistry, such as the generalized valence bond (GVB) method for ab initio electronic structure calculations and the ReaxFF force field for classical molecular dynamics simulations. In August 2007, the American Chemical Society at its biannual national convention celebrated Goddard"s 70th birthday with a 5-day symposium titled, "Bold predictions in theoretical chemistry."
As of July 2013, Goddard has published 1028 peer-reviewed articles
