Chemistry in RSpace: What a Year of Open-Source Development Looks Like

Product Updates

A year after transitioning RSpace's chemistry tools to an open-source stack, we look at what has been built since: an open chemistry codebase on GitHub, PubChem compound import directly from documents, and stoichiometry tables connected to inventory management. We also preview what comes next, including chemistry-aware metadata in exports to generalist and domain repositories.

RSpace is more than an ELN — and now our website says so!

News

RSpace has grown well beyond its ELN roots — it now integrates sample management, research workflow orchestration, and FAIR-enabling infrastructure like persistent identifiers and metadata standards into one cohesive platform. In early March we relaunched researchspace.com with a new look and structure that reflects this evolution across three tightly integrated facets: Research Orchestrator, ELN, and Sample Management.

From ELN to FAIR Research Infrastructure: Our Vision for RSpace

Research Data Management

We kicked off 2026 by presenting RSpace's vision for FAIR data workflows to the Competence Network for Open Science in Poland. The talk explored how vertical interoperability enables seamless data and metadata flow across the research lifecycle. You can find the presentation "RSpace - From Electronic Laboratory Notebook to FAIR Research Data Orchestration” here (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18253482).
