How Digital Is Chemical Research? Insights from the Second NFDI4Chem Community Survey on Research Data and FAIR Workflows

JOJochen OrtmeyerRWTH Aachen UniversityVSVitali SidorinRWTH Aachen UniversityDHDaniela HausenHeinrich Heine University Düsseldorf

Key Points

  • This research aims to assess the current state of digitisation in chemistry and the effectiveness of FAIR workflows.
  • Conducted the second NFDI4Chem community survey to gather insights on research data practices in chemistry.
  • Analyzed responses to evaluate the level of digitisation and adherence to FAIR principles among researchers.
  • Included various metrics relating to data management and sharing practices across the chemistry community.
  • Identified significant gaps in the implementation of FAIR workflows in chemical research.
  • Documented a notable increase in the use of digital tools for data management among chemists compared to previous surveys.
  • Highlighted specific challenges faced by researchers in adopting comprehensive digital practices.

Abstract

Increasing digitisation is revolutionising all scientific disciplines, but it poses a particular challenge in chemistry. Research data is generated, for example, during the synthesis of substances, the recording of spectra...
