RSpace

Over the years RSpace has grown from electronic laboratory notebook (ELN) into a platform for managing samples, orchestrating research workflows, and connecting the tools and infrastructure researchers and their institutions use. We just relaunched our website to reflect that: buff.ly/xbooakI

Thanks to SURF and DANS for bringing the PID community together again at #pidfest26 in Leiden this week. We're looking forward to it: PIDs pay off most when captured while research happens, and that takes the tools and infrastructure working together. buff.ly/VLLCbwN

📅 Save the date! Our next RSpace open-source office hour is on 18 November, 15:00 CET. Join the community for project updates and open Q&A. Details & registration: github.com/rspace-os/co... #OpenSource #RSpace

Last Wednesday at the Open Science Festival in Delft: a hands-on session with SURF, from an RSpace record via SURF Research Drive to Dataverse. Tomorrow in Groningen: Rory Macneil co-leads a workshop on interoperable tools and infrastructures at FAIR data without borders. #OpenScience #RSpace

⚠️ The RSpace wiki on GitHub switches off on 1 November. 👉 Its successor is the community repo: The Guide to the RSpace Project, office hour notes, community projects and the calendar, all in one place. Time to update that bookmark. buff.ly/tpTLqTk #OpenSource #RSpace

Tomorrow at #RDA London, OSTrails is presenting 3 posters from its national pilots: 💠Connecting DMPs and ELNs 💠Describing research software in maDMPs 💠Finland's national reference maDMP model Come say hi! #OSTrails #maDMP #OpenScience

RSpace is at #RDAP27 in London, 6 to 8 Oct. Rory Macneil joins the joint Active DMPs / Common Standards / maDMP API session, Thu 8 Oct 13:30 BST, to talk about connecting DMPs and lab notebooks through open standards. Come say hi.

Back from FDM@Campus 2026, where @tilomat.de talked about integrating PIDs into research workflows: IGSN IDs for samples, PIDINST for instruments, RAiD for projects, used while the work happens. Solutions like RSpace link them as you go. buff.ly/JPux97Q #FAIR #PIDs

Plenty of ELNs let you paste a structure. Fewer let you do anything with it. A year of open-source chemistry in RSpace: PubChem import inside a document, stoichiometry tables from a reaction drawing, reagents linked to real stock. buff.ly/Oa3AIsH

Stopping by the @nextcloud.com.web.brid.gy Community Conference in Berlin this weekend. Nextcloud is increasingly replacing proprietary solutions in research infrastructure. We've had an @researchspace.com integration for a long time and keen to develop it further. Let me know if you're going.

Yesterday's #RSpace open-source office hour #9, thanks to Fabian Monheim, Mike Parkes & Ákos Kukucska: 🤖 local-LLM AI agents for the ELN 🔬 instrument data into RSpace forms 📊 RSpace linked to DBRepo tables Notes: github.com/rspace-os/co... Next: #10, 18 Nov

Provenance has always been the quiet backbone of research. AI agents add new challenges: can you still retrace, a year later, what a human did and what an agent did? www.researchspace.com/blog/researc...

New on the RSpace blog: research documentation in the age of AI 🧪🤖 Our colleague @tilomat reflects on: how to onboard AI agents to RSpace and keep track of what they contributed. Read it here: :https://buff.ly/ep0t9iL #OpenScience #Provenance #OpenSource

Your large datasets don't need to live inside your notebook. RSpace integrates files on your institutional file storage solution into your research documentation and makes them available when needed. Read our new guide for efficiently using your organisation's file stores: buff.ly/P33XpfI

RSpace 2.24 is out 🌱 We've got plenty of new features, so do check out the full changelog! The highlights are: - Instruments as a native item type! 🔬 - Integration with DMP Assistant! 📄 - Relationship links using DataCite properties 🔗 - Improvements to the S3 Integration 🗃️ buff.ly/pmpGTBu

Lots of generalist ELNs "support chemistry" by displaying structures. The real work happens elsewhere. Our open chemistry engine gives us and our community the agency to build real chemistry workflows.

👋 Tomorrow is our next RSpace open source office hour with a guest contribution from the ISCC (International Standard Content Code) Foundation! Join us on June 17th at 3pm (CEST): buff.ly/ZCE3V8j
