This is a short presentation I gave at the Pistoia Alliance Meeting on our Mobile Strategy at RSC and what we have at present and where our vision will take us.

1. Chemistry Apps in the Wild and at the
Royal Society of Chemistry
Antony Williams

2. Scientific Publishers Apps
 Scientific publishers release apps to:
 Provide mobile access to content
 Search and deliver content to its registered users
and engage other possible users
 Greater accessibility means greater readership
 Revenue generation from the content, not the app

3. Increase in Scientific Publisher Apps

4. RSC Mobile

5. Chemistry World

6. RSC|ChemSpider

7. ChemSpider Mobile Website

8. ChemSpider Mobile

9. ChemGoggles

10. Publication/Database Alerts
(in progress)

11. Chemical Reactions
 Chemical reactions can be served up on mobile
 What is available now?
 Teaching basics of chemical reactions
 Look-ups against reaction databases
 Reaction mechanisms

12. Reaction Database Look-up

13. Work in Progress – 300k Reactions

14. Spectra on ChemSpider

15. SpectralGame in the hand

16. Sourcing information about SciApps
http://www.scimobileapps.com/
 Where can developers post information about
their apps? NOT Wikipedia!
 iTunes does not segregate based on science
 SciMobileApps Wiki…

19. Chemistry eBooks
 The future of the Chemistry eBook…next year then?
 eBooks already link to computational engines
 3D rotating molecules are expected – stereoscopic
viewing will become standard?
 Kinect type interface for a tablet?
 Interactive graphing – data mine public websites to
include data
 Direct model generation and prediction
 And….

20. Open PHACTS Project
 Develop a set of robust standards…
 Implement the standards in a semantic integration hub
 Deliver services to support drug discovery programs
in pharma and public domain
 22 partners, 8 pharmaceutical companies, 3 biotechs
 36 months project – goes live next month
Guiding principle is open access, open usage, open source
