In a previous post, I looked at the Findability of FAIR data in common chemistry journals. Here I move on to the next letter, the A = Accessible.

A search of some major chemistry publishers for FAIR data records.
Friday, April 12th, 2019In recent years, findable data has become ever more important (the F in FAIR). Here I test that F using the DataCite search service.

“Richer metadata makes content more useful”
Saturday, February 16th, 2019The title of this post comes from the site www.crossref.org/members/prep/ Here you can explore how your favourite publisher of scientific articles exposes metadata for their journal.

Harnessing FAIR data: A suggested useful persistent identifier (PID) for quantum chemical calculations.
Tuesday, August 7th, 2018Harnessing FAIR data is an event being held in London on September 3rd; no doubt most speakers will espouse its virtues and speculate about how to realize its potential. Admirable aspirations indeed, but capturing hearts and minds also needs lots of real life applications! Whilst assembling a forthcoming post on this blog, I realized I might have one nice application which also pushes the envelope a bit further, in a manner that I describe below.

PIDapalooza 2018. A conference like no other!
Tuesday, January 23rd, 2018Another occasional conference report (day 1). So why is one about “persistent identifiers” important, and particularly to the chemistry domain?

Data-free research data management? Not an oxymoron.
Tuesday, May 24th, 2016I occasionally post about "RDM" (research data management), an activity that has recently become a formalised essential part of the research processes. I say recently formalised, since researchers have of course kept research notebooks recording their activities and their data since the dawn of science, but not always in an open and transparent manner. The desirability of doing so was revealed by the 2009 "Climategate" events. In the UK, Climategate was apparently the catalyst which persuaded the funding councils (such as the EPSRC, the Royal Society, etc) to formulate policies which required all their funded researchers to adopt the principles of RDM by May 2015 and in their future researches. An early career researcher here, anxious to conform to the funding body instructions, sent me an email a few days ago asking about one aspect of RDM which got me thinking.

Collaborative FAIR data sharing.
Sunday, April 17th, 2016I want to describe a recent attempt by a group of collaborators to share the research data associated with their just published article.[1]

Metametadata: data about data about (chemical) data.
Saturday, April 16th, 2016Scientists are familiar with the term data, at least in a scientific or chemical context, but appreciating metadata (meaning "after", or "beyond") is slightly more subtle, in the sense of using it to mean data about data. The challenge lies in clarifying where the boundary between data and its metadata lies and in specifying and controlling the vocabulary used for these metadata descriptions. Items in a chemical metadata dictionary might include e.g. subject classifications such as Organic Molecular Chemistry or identifiers such as InChIkey. But what could metametadata be? Here I briefly show some examples by way of illustration.
