Chemistry Repositories
To ease the selection of a suitable research data repository for chemistry research data, NFDI4Chem provides a list of trusted, chemistry-friendly repositories. This page only lists our recommendations. To get more information, please refer to the section on Data Publishing or more specifically the page Choose a Repository in the NFDI4Chem Knowledge Base.
Core Repositories
- Chemotion Repository
Field-specific sample and reaction-centric repository including analysis data such as NMR, UV-VIS, IR, and MS data. - MassBank EU*
Field-specific ecosystem of databases and tools for mass spectrometry reference spectra. - nmrXiv
Field-specific repository for NMR data. - RADAR4Chem
Generic, multidisciplinary repository that offers a free and reliable home for all chemical research data that do not fulfil the specifications of field-specific repositories. - STRENDA DB
Field-specific repository for enzymology data, which incorporates the STRENDA Guidelines for reporting enzymology data. - SUPRABANK
Field-specific repository for intermolecular interactions data.
*Resource which does not accept direct submission of MS data in vendor or mzML format, but data in MassBank format, see RMassBank.
Associated Repositories
- Cambridge Structural Database (CSD)*
Field-specific repository for x-ray diffraction data of molecules generally containing at least carbon and hydrogen, operated by the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC). - Inorganic Crystal Structure Database (ICSD)*
Field-specific repository for x-ray diffraction data of inorganic compounds, elements, minerals, intermetallic phases and ionic solids, operated by FIZ Karlsruhe. - Joint CCDC/FIZ Access Structures Service
Service that provides open access to the CSD Structure Depot, but not to all CSD data.
*Resource for which a license agreement is required.
Further Repositories
- NOMAD
Field-specific repository for computational materials science data. - ioChem-BD
Field-specific repository for computational chemistry data. - RADAR*
Generic, multidisciplinary repository for all types of chemical research data that do not meet the specifications of any field-specific repository. - Zenodo
Generic repository developed under the European OpenAIRE program, operated by CERN. - EUDAT B2SHARE
Generic repository operated by a pan-european network consisting of more than 25 research organisations, data and computing centers.
*Resource for which a license agreement is required.
