Open data in chemistry? I am a student in computer science, which is a field where sharing research data and source code is very very much recommended. I am looking for sites where data from chemistry experiments could be openly distributed. Do such exist? I would like to test some algorithms for analyzing certain kinds of experiments, without having to do them myself (which I easily can't). The motivation is that I think (.. or maybe hope) that I would have some insights to offer.

I did not find many suitable tags, sorry.
There are a variety of "open data" sources in chemistry. In your case, you probably want "open notebook science.".

There are a few practitioners in chemistry, although Jean-Claude Bradley sadly passed this last year.

I believe there will be a collection of articles published in the open access Journal of Cheminformatics as a memorial to Jean-Claude, but I don't think these have cleared review yet.
