We will discuss our experiences in the different aspects of chemical structure sharing, covering ChemSpider, our involvement in the Open PHACTS and PharmaSea projects, and especially our publications. Most recently, we have introduced a new data publishing route via the EPSRC National Chemical Database Service to allow researchers to deposit and publish machine readable chemical structure files and their associated spectra under open licences, in association with a research publication or as an independent dataset. Each submitted structure is validated using the Chemistry Validation and Standardization Platform (CVSP) and assigned a shareable DOI, alongside associated spectra and metadata.
