Abstract:
Environmental sciences, including environmental chemistry and toxicology, are highly interdisciplinary fields that integrate researchers with various backgrounds and expertise. This interdisciplinary aspect is critical to addressing issues of chemical pollution, environmental sustainability, and health. However, a standardized method for reporting chemical data is needed to address these issues effectively. This becomes increasingly important as both the number of chemical structures and our reliance on and use of computational analysis and cheminformatics tools grow. This paper provides background, examples, and recommendations on how to report chemical data in a findable, accessible, interoperable, and reproducible (FAIR) manner within environmental science disciplines. Ultimately, the goal is to broaden the scope and applicability of environmental research to help the entire community tackle the issues of chemical pollution and sustainability in a comprehensive manner.
