The IUPAC Compendium of Chemical Terminology (the "Gold Book") is an aggregation of the formally defined terms in the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry's Recommendations published in the journal of Pure and Applied Chemistry. The talk highlights the status of the Gold Book and the current major update, machine access to the definitions via an API, and the inclusion of these terms in domain ontologies.
Voc4cat: Vocabulary guidelines for NFDI4CatThe Voc4Cat guidelines have been developed as a blueprint towards suggesting, adding, and editing content to the vocabularies developed throughout NFDI4Cat. The aim of Voc4Cat is to provide guidelines to guarantee consistency and coherence on selection of concepts and terms between all catalysis-related vocabularies in NFDI4Cat. Voc4Cat, initially inspired by the AGROVOC editorial guidelines of FAO, evolved over the course of Task Area 1 (TA1): Ontology Development and Metadata Standards of NFDI4Cat
FAIR Research Data Management: Basics for ChemistsThe two-day interactive workshop "FAIR Research Data Management: Basics for Chemists" was and is offered both as an online workshop and as an in_person workshop. In both formats, the present slides were used. The concept integrates theoretical content with practical hands-on activities and discussions to enable participants to get started with a building block of research data management. In the workshop, participants will learn about different tools to help them get started and also to progress. In addition to general content such as the DFG checklist, the building blocks of research data management will be taught in a chemistry-specific way. Participants will learn the basis for FDM with chemistry-specific content. This publication is a set of slides to be used for the workshop and a schedule for the workshop. This can help trainers to plan a workshop. Also included in the table are the learning objectives, which are broken down according to Bloom's taxonomy.
Author guidelines in chemistry through the lens of research data sharingNFDI4Chem’s vision is the digitalisation of all key steps in chemical research to support scientists in their efforts to collect, store, process, analyse, publish, and re-use research data. For that goal, we aim at making chemical research data FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable).
As the primary method of communicating research results, journals and their author guidelines have a tremendous impact on community behavior. To work with scientific journal editors to enhance recommendations on data publication, we organised the Editors4Chem workshop in 2021. The 2nd Editors4Chem workshop will be held in the fall of 2023. Additionally, we analysed author guidelines from several publishers and journals active in chemistry research.
This poster outlines the results of a large-scale analysis of author guidelines: To which extent is the publishing landscape supporting FAIR Data and Open Science practices? In which areas is this support lacking and what are the underlying reasons? How should authors navigate these changes?
The landscape of author guidelines in chemistry in 2022 through the lens of research data sharingMomentum is building across the scholarly research ecosystem internationally to increase the sharing of data along with other research outputs, in particular to make more research data available that are FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable).
As the primary method of communicating research results, journals and their author guidelines have a tremendous impact on community behavior. Reviewing practices related to sharing data that appear in author guidelines across a broad range of journals was the subject of a recent study conducted under NFDI4Chem, a national research data infrastructure project in Germany. NFDI4Chem is developing approaches to digitalisation of key steps in chemical research to support scientists in their efforts to collect, store, process, analyze, publish, and re-use research data.
A broad range of criteria involving data, metadata and associated articles are considered relative to their potential to impact the FAIR data principles. This review updates and expands on work developed for workshops in CINF during 2017-2019 that focused on sharing chemical structures and characterization data. Further work with scientific journal editors to enhance recommendations on data publication was initiated with an Editors4Chem workshop in 2021, and planning is underway for a second Editors4Chem workshop to be held in the fall of 2023.
In this talk we will further present on the results of the author guidelines review: To which extent is the publishing landscape supporting FAIR Data and Open Science practices? In which areas is this support lacking and what might be underlying reasons? How can authors navigate these changes?
