Knowing that the implementation of the FAIR data principles has not been achieved among all scientists, the additional claim for FAIR-AR samples might seem to be challenging. Nevertheless, the establishment of a standardized process for FAIR-AR samples can be very easy once the concept of FAIR data is adopted: the infrastructure supporting the access and re-use of chemical samples already exists, and the effort for the single scientist as the material producer is low if the initial agreements between the partner sites and the Molecule Archive are done. While the deposition of FAIR data currently lacks incentives for the providing scientists, the provision of materials offers special scientific advantages such as publications with materials' re-users -this makes materials storage and provision an attractive aim that could foster the broad application of the FAIR-AR concept. The provision of samples to the Molecule Archive has been the origin of many publications that were done in collaboration with compound providers and re-usersapproving that the provision of data can result directly in more visibility and impact for the scientists sharing their research results. generation of, e.g., molecular descriptors facilitate the work of the scientists as the most suitable descriptors for a search for chemical compounds are generated by the software without additional efforts. The combination of information entered by the user and system-generated information directly forms the virtual metadata representation of the sample and defines the digital object. With the available information on the sample, the submission of research data can be started. The data has to be prepared according to discipline-specific standards, described in detail in the onlinedocumentation of the Chemotion repository. The better the data is prepared according to the given best practice examples, the FAIRer is the data that is accessible in the repository in the end.
