Journals and funders demanding the deposition of research data and the necessary establishment of suitable research data infrastructures will inevitably alleviate the data shortage problem in the future . The German government, for example, has recently decided to implement and long-term-fund a national research data infrastructure (Nationale Forschungsdateninfrastruktur, NFDI) with 30 consortia in all areas of science, collaboratively developing open research data management (RDM) e-infrastructures, coordinated by an umbrella process and a joint directorate. One of those consortia is NFDI4Chem which is building an RDM e-infrastructure for chemistry that follows FAIR data principles to make chemical data findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable . One flagship project of NFDI4Chem is nmrXiv, an open and FAIR repository and analysis platform for NMR spectroscopy data .
