navigating scientific resources using wiki based resources
DESCRIPTION
There is an overwhelming number of new resources for chemistry that would likely benefit both librarians and students in terms of improving access to data and information. While commercial solutions provided by an institution may be the primary resources there is now an enormous range of online tools, databases, resources, apps for mobile devices and, increasingly, wikis. This presentation will provide an overview of how wiki-based resources for scientists are developing and will introduce a number of developing wikis. These include wikis that are being used to teach chemistry to students as well as to source information about scientists, scientific databases and mobile apps.TRANSCRIPT

So many Scientific Wikis…

What is a Wiki???
• “A wiki is a website which allows its users to add, modify, or delete its content via a web browser usually using a simplified markup language or a rich-text editor.”
Technical Definition

It is so much more…
• A place to connect and collaborate• A place for discussion and constructive conflict• An EASY path to set-up an environment for you
to engage the community• And….

ChemSpider Limitations
• We handles compounds where there are defined InChIs
• Poor handling of polymers, minerals, materials • ChemSpider does not handle reactions

ChemSpider Development
• ChemSpider Reactions : working on rolling out a half million reactions to the community
• Will integrate ChemSpider SyntheticPages, Catalysts and Catalyzed Reactions and Methods of Organic Synthesis
• Developing support for materials – where InChIs are not available.

Where is your Wikipedia Page??
• The challenging notability criteria of Wikipedia• But what about an environment to create your
own Wiki page on a database that you manage
• Harvested Wikipedia scientists and set it up

What encourages participation?
• “Interested” parties contribute • Marketing and self-promotion are primary
reasons for participation• There are very few “selfless” participants
• Relationships garner contributions…

Learn Chemistry Wiki
– Last two years of secondary school to end of undergraduate
– Integrated to a small slice of ChemSpider– Introduction of more educational “games”:
Chemistry quizzes – e.g reactions– Hosting training/educational resources– Integrate to existing RSC websites– An environment of participation. It’s a WIKI!
