In the world of chemistry, open science is gaining traction as more researchers embrace open access, open data, and open peer review. The Chemistry community is slowly adopting methods to share data openly, with progress being made in creating a FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable) system. However, challenges such as the dominance of large publishers, lack of incentives, and intellectual property concerns are hindering widespread adoption of open science practices. Despite these barriers, researchers like Matthew Todd and Ken Carslaw are pioneering open projects that encourage collaboration and innovation in chemistry. The future holds the promise of a more open and connected scientific community where shared data and machine learning tools drive progress and discoveries.
