The CHEMeDATA initiative is aiming at making chemistry data more findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR). In coordination with the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) and the support of the e-research group at the University of Geneva we prepare recommendations and document good practice to help chemists to make better chemistry data. The specific problems encountered in the field of chemistry will be presented before the solutions we envision the data associated to peer-reviewed publication and their long-term preservation.
