Why Open?
Q: Why did you decide to adopt an open approach?
A: In thinking about what has meaning for me as a
scientist, I realized that the work I was doing wasn’t
having the kind of impact that I would like it to have, and
it was not benefitting mankind in the way I would have
hoped. I concluded that this was partly a consequence of
secrecy. However, I couldn’t be open with the project I
was then working on, because I was collaborating with
someone who didn’t feel the same way as me.
My decision to do open science meant cutting ties with
my previous collaborators. Having done that in 2005, I
started the project UsefulChem.

Jean-Claude Bradley
Dec 11, 2008
NIST
Associate Professor of Chemistry
Drexel University
The current paradigm of doing and
sharing science in chemistry
1. Design experiments based on
established or potentially new theories.
2. Execute and record experimental
outcomes in private notebooks.
3. When a sufficient narrative emerges
selective experimental data are
combined to publish, with a limited
amount of “supplementary supporting
data”
What kind of (chemical) worldview
has this approach created?
1. Selective bias towards which
experiment are even attempted.
2. Overconfidence in our understanding
since deviant or ambiguous results are
rarely reported.

• He gave soooooo much early feedback on how ChemSpider
could serve the community – the first advisory group member
• For ChemSpider he contributed his students to perform
crowdsourced curation and annotation
• JC tapped into ChemSpider a lot for validated data and
integration to his ONS wikis
• He deposited data onto ChemSpider so we could link directly
• His Open Notebook Science data was made available to over
10,000 scientists a day via ChemSpider
JC took.. and he GAVE AWAY
Feeding ONS MP Data into ChemSpider
 ONS data deposited into ChemSpider and linked out to ONS pages

Building Teaching Tools
• JC loved to use technology to TEACH. He used freely
available tools to do so – including ChemSpider services
ChemSpider Spectra

Collaborations in Openness
• JC believed in HIGH-QUALITY data
• He invested himself, and his students, in validating,
checking and re-measuring data
• He demanded openness of data, free of restrictions and
constraints
• Do his efforts make a difference???
Supporting Open Data
JC and Drug Discovery
• JC cared passionately about neglected disease research
• Many of our conversations were around better data-sharing
for the various groups
• We continue in our mission to help…
