Open Notebook Science
Open notebook science uses blogs and wikis to make laboratory experimental results public and freely accessible on the web. Raw experimental data along with the researcher's interpretation are in a format that anyone can easily re-analyze, re-interpret and re-purpose, for example, using some results and observations from a failed experiment in a way which may never be intended by the original researcher. This doesn't happen regularly in science because failed experiments are almost never included in publications.
This is an open notebook science project in chemistry led by the Bradley Laboratory at Drexel University. By using wikis, blogs and mailing lists, researchers can post experiments, compound information, a specific chemistry problem need to be solved, a partial solution or suggested steps to a posted problem. Researchers can publish, share and capture experimental data and results from here.
It is a freely available interactive database and open notebook science of synthetic chemistry. It publishes practical and reliable organic, organometallic and inorganic chemical synthesis, reactions and procedures deposited by synthetic chemists. Synthetic methods on the site are updated continuously by chemists working in academic and industrial research laboratories.
