Dr Matthew Addicoat wins the Digital Discovery data reviewer draw!

We’re excited to announce that Dr Matthew Addicoat of Nottingham Trent University has won the first exclusive Digital Discovery mug in our data reviewer prize draw!

Dr Addicoat has this to say about open data: “Data is important for so many reasons: For me the most obvious reasons are that sharing data allows faster progression by reuse of data and broadening collaboration. It also allows for errors to be found and fixed, which is increasingly important as science increasingly turns to data-driven.”

Thanks to Dr Addicoat and all our other data reviewers for their support! Find out more about becoming a data reviewer in our earlier blog post.

Digital Discovery First Issue Desktop Seminars

Update 17 March 2022:

We regret to announce that the desktop seminar scheduled for 24 March has been cancelled due to exceptional circumstances. We are sorry for the inconvenience. We hope to run a similar webinar in the near future. Note that the desktop seminar on 29 March will continue as planned.

Original post:

We are pleased to announce two free desktop seminars to mark the publication of the first issue of Digital Discovery. In these 90-minute seminars, meet the authors and editors of Digital Discovery and learn about the exciting experimental and computational work being performed to accelerate scientific progress.

If you’re interested in either seminar but can’t make the date, register your interest and we’ll send you a link to the recording afterwards.

Digital Discovery is pleased to sponsor the AI2ASE workshop at AAAI22

Digital Discovery are pleased to announce sponsorship of the best paper prize at the 1st Annual AAAI Workshop on AI to Accelerate Science and Engineering (AI2ASE), taking place as part of the 36th AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence. We are particularly pleased to be involved given this year’s theme, “AI for Chemistry”.

The annual AAAI workshop on AI to Accelerate Science and Engineering (AI2ASE) is relevant for dissemination of research at the intersection of AI/ML and Chemistry. Digital Discovery and AI2ASE are considering a special issue for selected papers in the chemistry domain; watch this space for more information.

You can find out more about the AI2ASE workshop at the event web site.
