Antony WilliamsORCID Meeting, Boston, May 18th 2011

RSC: Publisher and community hub
Authors: 20,000 articles a year†
100 books†
Magazine articles†
Referees*, subscribers*, readers
* We know who/where these people are† we knew who they were at the time of writing

RSC: Membership organisation
46,000 members worldwide
Continuing Professional Development (CPD) for our members
What would help to link everything our members do towards CPD?
What more can we do to serve the community of chemists?

A Pragmatic Vision“Build a Structure Centric Community to
Serve Chemists”
Integrate chemical structure data on the web Create a “structure-based hub” to information and
data Provide access to structure-based “algorithms” Let chemists contribute their own data Allow the community to curate/correct data

ChemSpider
>26 million chemicals from over 400 data sources, generally linked out to the original sources
Serving Chemists and Life Scientists around the world. Thousands of users and approaching a million transactions per day
Linked into primary internet resources such as Wikipedia

Available Information….

Crowdsourced “Annotations”
Users can add Descriptions/Syntheses/Commentaries Links to PubMed articles Links to articles via DOIs Add spectral data Add Crystallographic Information Files Add photos Add MP3 files Add Videos

Spectra
![Page 11: The value of researcher identifiers to ChemSpider](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052522/554e864cb4c90526358b46ba/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Inherited Errors
Inherited errors from every database… all public compound databases, including ours, have errors
“Incorrect” structures – assertions, timelines etc
“Incorrect” names associated with structures
ENORMOUS CHALLENGE
![Page 12: The value of researcher identifiers to ChemSpider](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052522/554e864cb4c90526358b46ba/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
“Curate” Identifiers
![Page 13: The value of researcher identifiers to ChemSpider](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052522/554e864cb4c90526358b46ba/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Community annotations to curate datawww.chemspider.com/feedbackcurated.aspx

ChemSpider Contributions
Over 130 people have curated and annotated data on ChemSpider
Crowdsourcing…but a small crowd A long tail effect – thousands down to one (many) About a dozen people have deposited spectra and
other analytical data
No formal recognition vehicle for contribution…yet!
![Page 15: The value of researcher identifiers to ChemSpider](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052522/554e864cb4c90526358b46ba/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
How can we recognize contribution?
![Page 16: The value of researcher identifiers to ChemSpider](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052522/554e864cb4c90526358b46ba/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
SyntheticPages
A database of reaction syntheses: “How to make a particular chemical”
A crowdsourced effort to build the database
Feedback and Comments from the community (blog-like)
Each publication gets a Digital Object Identifier
![Page 17: The value of researcher identifiers to ChemSpider](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052522/554e864cb4c90526358b46ba/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
![Page 18: The value of researcher identifiers to ChemSpider](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052522/554e864cb4c90526358b46ba/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Authors and Commenters
Would be ideal to have the author registered with their ORCID and expose readers, downloads and associated comments
Commenters on a synthesis would be associated with their ORCID
![Page 19: The value of researcher identifiers to ChemSpider](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052522/554e864cb4c90526358b46ba/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
SyntheticPages
![Page 20: The value of researcher identifiers to ChemSpider](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052522/554e864cb4c90526358b46ba/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Alt-Metrics easily apply to CSSP
![Page 21: The value of researcher identifiers to ChemSpider](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052522/554e864cb4c90526358b46ba/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
ORCID IDs will be directly associated with registered users
Researchers page will capture and list all activities
Every curation, annotation and deposition will expose the activity to an AltMetrics engine
![Page 22: The value of researcher identifiers to ChemSpider](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052522/554e864cb4c90526358b46ba/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
ChemSpider needs ORCID
ChemSpider is a crowdsourcing community
Contributors deserve recognition
Wikipedia “Barnstormer Awards” are unlikely to suffice!
ORCID offers professional recognition within the community of choice
![Page 23: The value of researcher identifiers to ChemSpider](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052522/554e864cb4c90526358b46ba/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
RSC, ORCID and Education
RSC supplies free educational resources through school and undergraduate level
How can altmetrics help to 1) build a CV? 2) to get a job? 3) to get a grant? 4) to find collaborators? 5) To contribute to research reviews?
Is primary school too early to get an ORCID ID?
![Page 24: The value of researcher identifiers to ChemSpider](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052522/554e864cb4c90526358b46ba/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
ORCID will connect things together ORCID enables an organization to improve
interactions with its “community” - authors, reviewers and users
To enable Continuing Professional Development for the future
To help build up a complete CV of contributions for career advancement
To give credit for crowdsourced activities
