Participate in the validation of chemistry on the internet. Chemistry on the internet needs to be curated as there are so many errors. ChemSpider is a public resource for chemists of over 20 million compounds from over 300 different data sources. Chemical names, properties and data need validating. The database can be expanded with your own data so if you are a chemist and your own data to the database for the community to access.
Required gear:
Computer with web browser.
How to join or get started:
In order to get started register on ChemSpider here: http://tinyurl.com/yawhd7y and request a role as curator. Then review the curators manual here http://tinyurl.com/ye36nke . As you use ChemSpider provide us with feedback and comments regarding issues with data or curate the data yourself. Contact us at support@chemspider.com if you need assistance.
