The last WikiPathways was already 3 years ago, an often used frequency for Nucleic Acids Research updates. So, time for an update, and what an updates we had: WikiPathways: connecting communities (doi:10.1093/nar/gkaa1024). This update focuses on the open, collaborative nature of WikiPathway and on the growing role of the portals, like the lipids portal, the AOP portal, the nanomaterials portal, and the inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) portal. There is also a lot happening in the background, to make our tools better (much needed), our curation support better (in the future available in multiple ways), our data model better, and our dissemination even better (e.g. with Scholia/Toolforge and nanopublications). A huge thanks to Marvin and Tina to get everything together.

During the time of the editorial about the Journal of Cheminformatics Citation Typing Ontology (CiTO) Pilot I already worked out a model to add CiTO annotation in Wikidata. It looks like this for the first research article with annotation:

At the time I also write some SPARQL queries against Wikidata to summaries the current use. There are, for example, at this moment 128 CiTO annotations in Wikidata (with the above model).

After a time of exploration of technical needs, idea, plans, the Journal of Cheminformatics launched its Citation Typing Ontology (CiTO) Pilot this summer (doi:10.1186/s13321-020-00448-1). I am very excited about this, because the CiTO tells us why we are citing literature. We are a very long way away from publishing industry adoption, but we have to start somewhere. Laeeq Ahmed et al.

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!
