ChemSpider
The RSC’s Online Chemical Database
A central hub for chemists to source information
>28 million unique chemical records
Aggregated from >400 data sources
Chemicals, spectra, CIF files, movies, images, podcasts, links to patents, publications, predictions
A central hub for chemists to deposit & curate data
Answer Questions with ChemSpider
Questions a chemist might ask…
What is the melting point of n-heptanol?
What is the chemical structure of Xanax?
Chemically, what is phenolphthalein?
What are the stereocenters of cholesterol?
Where can I find publications about xylene?
What are the different trade names for Ketoconazole?
What is the NMR spectrum of Aspirin?
What are the safety handling issues for Thymol Blue?

Searches: The INTERNET
All ChemSpider and Internet searches are “simply algorithms”
but synonym searching is based on an assertion

and increasingly by “Alt-Metrics” – what you say, what you contribute, your data depositions, your code in repositories, your voice in the network, your activities on Facebook (be careful!)
If it was not just about me…
If it was not just about me…
We might have a community built encyclopedia
I might know where the best restaurants are
I might get good advice on books to read
I might know which movies to watch
I might know which plumber to call
Data might just be Open

The Social Network
Career-wise NOT having a personal presence online will be a detriment
Self-marketing
Establishing a profile
Getting on the record
Collaborative Science
Demonstrating a skill set
Measured using alternative metrics
Contributing to the public peer review process
Social Networking Tools
A growing number of social networking tools:
Linked-In
Flickr
YouTube
Blogs
Communities
Collaborative environments
Chemistry Social Networking
Methods of sharing MY chemistry online include:
Wikis or blogs
Slideshare for presentations
YouTube for videos
Flickr, Wikimedia etc. for images
PubChem for assay data
NMRShiftDB for NMR assignments
GoogleDocs for data

The Linked Network
There is much to be linked
Times have changed Immediacy of social networks
Commenting on articles/data is here
The “participating scientist” has high profile
And who can be a scientist now???

ChemSpider SyntheticPages
Many syntheses are not published but are of value
A database of synthesis procedures built for the community, by the community.
Peer-reviewed by the community
Each contribution DOI’ed. Develop online scientific reputation at a time of “micro-publications”
Integrates semantic mark-up and visualization tools

What is the Structure of Vitamin K?
A lipid cofactor that is required for normal bloodclotting. Several forms of vitamin K have beenidentified: VITAMIN K1 (phytomenadione)derived from plants, VITAMIN K2(menaquinone) from bacteria & syntheticnaphthoquinone provitamins, VITAMIN K3(menadione).

Data Enabling the RSC Archive
An archive going back to 1841. Project underway to “data enable” the archive:
Extract chemistry – chemicals, reactions, experimental data points, complex data
Semantic enriching of the articles for interactive viewing and crowdsourced annotation/curation
Dramatically enables the type of queries possible across the archive
A model for data segregation
Integrate to Institutional repositories
Access to Theses and Dissertations
Model Building with Community Data
Community data can be the basis of model building
Consume data from available databases, RSC archive, new publications and build predictive algorithms for the community
Accept research data from the community and include into predictions

ScientistsDB Write your OWN article about yourself on
ScientistsDB
It is a community-policed site so any comments you write might be challenged/edited. It is “your” page but edited by all
An article, once approved by the community, can, in theory, be moved to Wikipedia

Communicating Science
As scientists one of our primary roles is contribution
The internet enables contribution in different ways, benefitting the scientist and the community
Share your data and experience – it can enhance your public profile as a scientist, make you more discoverable and contribute data to the community
AltMetrics will be a measure of scientists…
