HeFDI Data Talk: NFDI4Chem Core Repositories and RADAR4Chem - 15.11.2024

The presentation slides of this talk are published on Zenodo at: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.14184982.

As part of the National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI), the NFDI4Chem consortium has the vision that all chemists publish FAIR data. To get there, the consortium support scientists in their efforts to collect, store, process, analyse, publish and re-use research data in chemistry. In our talk, we introduce you to the Task Area "Repositories" and the various trusted and chemistry-friendly NFDI4Chem core repositories. Here we focus in particular on RADAR4Chem.

RADAR4Chem is a low-threshold and easy-to use service for sustainable publication and preservation of research data from all disciplines of chemistry. It bases on the well-established data repository RADAR run by FIZ Karlsruhe - Leibniz Institute for Information Infrastructure and offers free publication for any data type and format according to the FAIR principles, independent of the researcher´s institutional affiliation. Through persistent identifiers (DOI) and a guaranteed retention period of at least 25 years, the research data remain available, citable and findable long-term. RADAR4Chem complements the existing portfolio of specialist repositories in chemistry and offers a wide range of application scenarios, e.g. for the publication of datasets with different data types or multidisciplinary datasets.

The HeFDI Data Talks are a bi-weekly open information and discussion event around the topic of data management in the context of science, in which relevant NFDI consortia as well as research data management services present themselves. The series discusses current topics and introduces numerous tools and services, including local and regional ones.
