Open Notebook Science Challenge

The Open Notebook Science Challenge is a <a href="/facts/Crowdsourcing/pIjlvb3E">crowdsourcing</a> research project which collects measurements of the non-aqueous solubility of organic compounds and publishes these as <a href="/facts/Open_data/h9695bNE">open data</a>; findings are reported in an <a href="/facts/Open_notebook_science/jHoVnUjJ">open notebook science</a> manner. Although anyone may contribute research data, the competition is only open to post-secondary students in the US and UK.
The challenge in turn forms part of the UsefulChem project, an ongoing <a href="/facts/Open_notebook_science/jHoVnUjJ">open notebook science</a> effort to synthesize and screen potential new anti-malarial drugs. Data from the Solubility Challenge will be used to build predictive computational models of solubility for use in optimising syntheses.
The challenge began on September 28, 2008 and, as of February 2014, involves researchers and their students from at least 4 different institutions and has resulted in the acquisition of over 7672 solubility measurements.
