Integrations
We are pleased to announce that from February 8 it’s possible to add your ORCID ID to your RSpace profile, and include your ORCID ID with deposits of data into the Figshare and Dataverse repositories. The integration is described in the following short video.
Enabling capture of lab data electronically in the RSpace ELN, and providing a simple deposit interface to Dataverse and Figshare, facilitates two workflows emerging as critical in the new digital research environment.
The first is the seamless transfer of active research data into a data repository or archive for public access and long term preservation.
The second is the deposit of datasets related to research into a data repository for association with the publication reporting on the results of the research.
The RSpace – Figshare and the RSpace – Datashare integrations support both workflows, demonstrating our commitment to a connected approach to dealing with research data, and the integration of RSpace with other tools and systems used by researchers and the emerging research data infrastructure being adopted by universities and publishers. The automatic association of the depositor’s ORCID ID with the dataset exported from RSpace into Figshare or Dataverse provides further support for linking researchers and their research output, as encouraged by leading funders, research institutions and publishers.
RSpace is an open-source platform that orchestrates research workflows into FAIR data management ecosystems: request a demo or contact us to learn more.

Bridging Experimental Documentation and Computational Analysis: RSpace & GalaxyIntegrations
Together with the Galaxy Europe team at University of Freiburg we have integrated RSpace and Galaxy to eliminate manual data transfer between research documentation and computational analysis. Researchers can now browse and import files directly from RSpace Gallery into Galaxy workflows, reducing errors and saving time. Available in Galaxy version 25.0, this integration is the first step toward executing Galaxy workflows directly from within RSpace.

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.
