We have services like PubMed, Europe PMC, and Google Scholar to make a list of literature. Scholia/Wikidata and ORCID are upcoming services, but for data and software there are fewer options. One notable exception is DataCite (two past blogs where I mentioned it). There is plenty of caution in interpreting the results, like versioning, the fact that preprints, posters, etc are also hosted by the supported repositories (e.g. Figshare, Zenodo), but it seems the faceted browsing based on metadata is really improving.

This is what my recent "DataCite" history looks like:

And it get's even more exciting when you realize that DataCite integrates with ORCID so that you can have it all listed on your ORCID profile.

I have not found further details about it yet, but noticed half an hour ago that the Human Metabolome Database (doi:10.1093/nar/gks1065) seems to have changes all their identifiers: the added extra zeros. The screenshot for D-fructose on the right shows how the old identifiers are now secondary identifiers. We will face a period of a few years where one resource uses the old identifiers (archives, supplementary information, other databases, etc).

Now that preprint servers are picking up speed, let's talk about postprint servers. Sure, we have plenty of places to place and find discussions about the content of articles (e.g. PubPeer, PubMed Commons, ...), and sure we have retractions and corrections.

But what if we could just make revisions of articles?

And I'm not only talking about typo-fixes, but also clarifications that show up during post-publication peer-review.

The week before a short holiday in France (nature, cycling, hiking, touristic CERN visit; thanks to Philippe for the ViaRhone tip!), I did some further work on contentmining literature that mention the JRC representative nanomaterials. One important reason was that I could play with the tools developed by Lars in his fellowship with The ContentMine.

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!
