As promised, I slowly set out to explore ONSSPs (Open Notebook Science Service Providers). I do not have a full overview of solutions yet but found LabTrove and Open Notebook Science Network. The latter is a more clear ONSSP while the first seems to be the software.

So, my first experiment is with Open Notebook Science Network (ONSN). The platform uses WordPress, a proven technology. I am not a huge fan of the set up which has a lot of features making it sometimes hard to find what you need. Indeed, my first write up ended up as a Page rather than a Post. On the upside, there is a huge community around it, with experts in every city (literally!). But my ONS is now online and you can monitor my Open research with this RSS feed.

Last Monday the Jean-Claude Bradley Memorial Symposium was held in Cambridge (slide decks). Jean-Claude was a remarkable man and I spoke at the meeting on several things and also how he made me jealous with his Open Notebook Science work. I had the pleasure to work with him on a RDF representation of solubility data.

One of the things I do to prepare for holiday, is get some reading stuff together. I haven't finished Gödel, Escher, Bach yet (a suggested from the blogosphere), with a bit of luck there are new chapters of HPMOR, and I normally try to catch up with literature. One advantage of Open Access is that you can remix. So, I created a single PDF of all JChemInf Vol. 5 articles (last year I did volumes 1, 2, 3, and 4). This PDF is about 75 MB in size, and therefore fits on most smartphones.

Several journals are playing with statements about Open Data, and, for example, F1000Research and require Open Data. When publishers are judged in their implementation on Open Access, so should we critically analyze journals that claim to be an Open Data journal. Well, such claims I have not seen, but some journals have promising statements, like:

BioMed Central

This blog deals with chemblaics in the broader sense. Chemblaics (pronounced chem-bla-ics) is the science that uses computers to solve problems in chemistry, biochemistry and related fields. The big difference between chemblaics and areas such as chem(o)?informatics, chemometrics, computational chemistry, etc, is that chemblaics only uses open source software, open data, and open standards, making experimental results reproducible and validatable. And this is a big difference!
