FAIR4Chem Award 2022: And the winner is … Chemistry!-We are currently seeing (and supporting !) the cultural change towards modern, digital research data management (RDM) in chemistry. An important set of criteria for good RDM are the FAIR guiding principles, aiming that research data should be Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable. The FAIR4Chem Award 2022 celebrates published chemistry research datasets that best meet […]
Your NFDI4Chem Team: Get to Know the Consortium!-Overview of the Task Areas (TA): TA1 – Management: Christoph Steinbeck (Friedrich Schiller University Jena) TA2 – Smart Lab: Nicole Jung (Karlsruhe Institute for Technology) TA3 – Repository: Felix Bach (Karlsruhe Institute for Technology) & Matthias Razum (FIZ Karlsruhe – Leibniz Institute for Information Infrastructure) TA4 – Metadata, Data Standards and Publication Standards: Steffen Neumann […]
New research data repositories for chemistry and cultural heritage-Researchers in the fields of chemistry and cultural studies now have access to new services for publishing research data. These are based on the established RADAR repository from FIZ Karlsruhe – Leibniz Institute for Information Infrastructure. As part of its collaboration in NFDI4Chem, FIZ Karlsruhe now offers “RADAR4Chem”, a powerful service for researchers in the […]
The NFDI network collects information about resources for scientists from Ukraine-Putin’s war against Ukraine has left the world in shock. NFDI4Chem stands in solidarity with the people in Ukraine. The NFDI head office is collecting links, contact addresses and services that can help affected scientists from Ukraine. They can be found under the following link: https://www.nfdi.de/important-links-for-scientists-from-ukraine/?lang=en The helpdesk at NFDI4Chem is also available to help […]
FAIR4Chem Award Winners-And the winner is… FAIR datasets are indeed feasible in chemistry, because where there’s a will, there’s a way. Of all datasets submitted for the FAIR4Chem Award 2022, two proved this is absolutely the case! The FAIR4Chem Award 2022 honours the datasets of Niels Krausch and Robert T. Giessmann: Collection of UV/Vis spectra acquired while […]
Data pledge: Let’s lead-by-example!-NFDI4Chem has a clear vision of how chemistry research data will be collected, processed, archived, shared and published. Before our NFDI4Chem’s infrastructure and tools are released, we would like to showcase your chemistry research data to demonstrate what is already possible with the infrastructure and tools available today. Please feel invited to pledge your dataset […]
Software Developer / Semantic MediaWiki specialist (m/f/d)-The National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI) is an outstanding infrastructure initiative for the science communities in Germany with the aim to harness the great potential of Research Data as a valuable resource for science and research. As of 1st October 2020, the first round of NFDI consortia receives funding for a period of five years, with […]
Workshop Series – FAIR RDM: Basics for Chemists-To achieve NFDI4Chem’s goal of ensuring that good research data management (RDM) will become second nature to chemists, it is essential that we provide appropriate training opportunities to the community to support them in making their research data FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable & reusable). To this end we are excited to inform you about a […]
Launch of NFDI4Chem Knowledge Base-Are you confronted with research data management in chemistry and are feeling lost? NFDI4Chem is proud to announce the launch of its knowledge base. We were so impressed by Elixir-Converge’s RDMKit that we adopted its architecture as a starting point. You can enter the knowledge base via different points of entry. Choose your role (e.g. […]
Contributions to Sections in NFDI-NFDI4Chem is actively involved in several of the recently founded sections of NFDI which tackle overarching tasks across the NFDI consortia. NFDI4Chem and NFDI4Ing jointly coordinate the work in the section Education & Training (EduTrain). The concept for the section has already been published on Zenodo. EduTrain focuses on the development of multidimensional teaching materials […]
