Sustainable Digital Standards
IUPAC is initiating a community roadmap and sustainability blueprint for digital standards in chemistry data reporting.
With the rapid advancement of digital technologies, there’s an urgent need for consistent reporting and exchange of chemical data worldwide.
Diversity and Inclusion
Chemistry is all about diversity: each new bond, each additional group makes the whole richer and stronger. IUPAC recognizes that to fulfill its vision, it must strongly commit to embracing and promoting transparency, diversity, inclusion, and equal opportunities for all.
WorldFAIR Chemistry - 2. Training Cookbook: Digital recipes for managing chemical data
The IUPAC FAIR Chemistry Cookbook has been released. It is a new living resource developed to enable the chemical sciences community to move toward sharing and reusing data, code, metadata, etc. that are Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable or FAIR.
LC-MS quantitative method validation and performance: an exemplified guide
A guide will be prepared by converting the standard validation terms and procedures which are well established into specific mass spectrometry terms and procedures while cross-referencing IUPAC definitions of terms relating to mass spectrometry.
InChI Open Education Resource (OER)
The InChI Open Education Resource (OER) (https://www.inchi-trust.org/oer/), is designed to provide educators and other interested parties with resources, training material, and information related to InChI. Currently, the OER contains over 100 materials collected from various sources and provides users with search, filtering, and sorting functionalities to locate specific records. A recent paper published in CTI paper describes this tool.
Vocabulary of Concepts and Terms in Analytical Chemistry - the revised Orange Book (4th edition)
The 2023 Orange Book is out! For analytical chemists, this Compendium is "the tool of trade" and the ultimate source of terms.
GWB
Advancing the Worldwide Role of Chemistry
IUPAC serves the international scientific endeavor in the dual function of a fundamental science and mission-oriented Union. The Union is in a unique position to contribute to the central interdisciplinary chemical sciences.
