Open Science in Chemistry - The Past and the Next 20 Years

Building on two decades of dedicated effort, Open Science in Chemistry has garnered renewed momentum. This personal perspective will sketch its evolutionary trajectory starting with Jmol and JChemPaint, via The OpenScience Project, the Chemistry Development Kit and the Blue Obelisk Movement. These developments will be compared with publishing models and the FAIR principles with a focus on their differences. Examples of the status quo will include recent research from projects like NanoCommons, SbD4Nano, Scholia, and WikiPathways, leading us to current challenges. The talk will end with a vision of the next phase in Open Science in Chemistry.
