Managing data in a laboratory across multiple projects, instruments, collaborators and people coming and going requires the organization and flexibility that an electronic laboratory notebook (ELN) can provide. Such automation at publication time, however, falls short when it comes to submitting data to a public database. Public accessibility of data is often a required step in journal publication or grant renewal. Public repositories offer a stable, well-publicized platform in which to house such data. During the time crunch of publishing or an administrative deadline, an additional data upload procedure must be initiated to load and often reformat the data to maximize its exposure and usability.<br/>PubChem is providing the PubChem Upload RESTful programming interface (API) to allow ELN providers to directly incorporate data publishing into PubChem as a built-in tool or button. A suite of features lets a submitter upload data while scheduling a delayed release. Such flexibility provides the submitter with immediate, uniquely-generated PubChem data identifiers to prove public submission while timing the actual release with a publication or other future date. In addition, semi-private view codes can be generated to share access with collaborators and administrators. Simultaneous access to the PubChem Upload web interface is available throughout the process.<br/>The PubChem Upload API offers seamless integration of public data reporting via existing ELN systems.
