RSC.
• Similar content to Green Solvents
Open Drug Discovery Teams
• Released 2012 for iOS.
• Scientific newsreader for rare & neglected
diseases and precompetitive topics
• Source material: Twitter & RSS
• Crowd-curation paradigm
• Micropublication capability
Open Drug Discovery Teams
• Chemistry aware
• Users can
• emit data
• acquire data
• Long term plan is to
accumulate open
drug data
Why is Open Source Drug
data of interest to RSC?
Experiments in Mobile

HTML5 / ePub3
Customer needs and capabilities have to come
ahead of technologies
Challenges
•
•
•
•
•
•
Authentication
New Devices / Number of Devices devices
Testing on devices (availability)
Supporting Devices / Staff training
App Store approval
On going future maintenance - more
technologies than just a hosted website
Conclusion
• RSC’s commitment to a mobile strategy is
obvious and includes:
• Access to Journal Content
• Access to Database Content
• Structure/substructure searching across all
content
• Continue to experiment
Sourcing information about
Scientific Apps
• SciMobileApps Wiki: scimobileapps.com
• Add your own apps or one you discovered
• Open content and community-driven
