Research Data Management
Reproducibility for Everyone (R4E) and Research Space are pleased to announce a partnership to further their shared mission – enhancing the reproducibility of scientific research.
Reproducibility for Everyone is a community-led education initiative to increase adoption of open research practices at scale. R4E volunteer co-instructors run introductory workshops and share resources on tools and methods that accelerate research.
Research Space provides the RSpace electronic lab notebook, which, through integrations with a broad ecosystem of research tools, including data management planning tools like DMPTool and data repositories like Dataverse and Figshare, enables enhanced capture, sharing and re-use of research data.
Through promotion of each other’s activities, R4E and Research Space will be working together to spread the word about the importance of reproducibility and ways in which it can be achieved through adoption of research practices and tools.
Sara El-Gebali, project leader for metadata and curation at the SciLifeLab Data Centre in Sweden, founder of OpenCIDER (Open Computational Inclusion and Digital Equity Resource) and advocate for community building and the promotion of underrepresented groups in STEM fields, commented: “I am very pleased to see the collaboration between R4E and Research Space. I appreciate their commitment to Open Research Practices and active engagement with the research community, including support of fit for purpose solutions and integrations.” To learn more contact us at:

RSpace Transitions to Open-Source Chemistry ToolsOpen source
RSpace has transitioned to open-source chemistry tools in version 1.108, replacing Marvin with Ketcher for molecule rendering and integrating OpenBabel and Indigo for backend chemistry data management, ensuring full functionality and backward compatibility for users. This change aligns with RSpace's commitment to open-source principles, enabling more flexible development and potential community contributions to chemistry functionality. Users will experience a seamless update with all existing features preserved, including ChemDraw support and existing chemical structure compatibility. The ResearchSpace team is looking forward to expanding chemistry tools, with potential future improvements like advanced chemical calculations, database integrations, and enhanced data export capabilities. Customers can find the new tools active immediately in the latest release, with the team welcoming user feedback and suggestions for future developments.
