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.

Open Access journal publishing debates – the elephant in the room?
Sunday, November 4th, 2018For perhaps ten years now, the future of scientific publishing has been hotly debated. The traditional models are often thought to be badly broken, although convergence to a consensus of what a better model should be is not apparently close. But to my mind, much of this debate seems to miss one important point, how to publish data.

Examples please of FAIR (data); good and bad.
Sunday, May 6th, 2018The site fairsharing.org is a repository of information about FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable) objects such as research data.

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?

FAIR data ⇌ Raw data.
Thursday, December 7th, 2017FAIR data is increasingly accepted as a description of what research data should aspire to; Findable, Accessible, Inter-operable and Re-usable, with Context added by rich metadata (and also that it should be Open). But there are two sides to data, one of which is the raw data emerging from say an instrument or software simulations and the other in which some kind of model is applied to produce semi- or even fully processed/interpreted data. Here I illustrate a new example of how both kinds of data can be made to co-exist.

The challenges in curating research data: one case study.
Friday, April 28th, 2017Research data (and its management) is rapidly emerging as a focal point for the development of research dissemination practices. An important aspect of ensuring that such data remains fit for purpose is identifying what curation activities need to be associated with it. Here I revisit one particular case study associated with the molecular structure of a product identified from a photolysis reaction[1] and the curation of the crystallographic data associated with this study.
