This repo is the core of the NFDI4Chem knowledge base.

How to contribute

Just follow these simple steps:

1. Create a fork of the repository.

3. Create a pull-request.

Your changes will then be reviewed by editors of this page. In case of any problems, or if you are unable to contribute via github contact [email protected].

Conventions

• Use british english
• headings with: # (primary), ## (secondary), ### (tertiary etc)

Source information

• Citations (e.g. for journal articles): only cite the name of the article and doi (if available) and add link to doi - as opposed to a citation standard such as Angewandte, RSC etc. To cite to a footnote which contains a citation, use a superscripted number.
• For references, sources and/or further information/reading, please always use the heading "Sources and further information".
• Use bullet points
• Indicate if a source is written in German (e.g. - German: Article about ...)

Adding images

Please place your image files in the suitable subfolder for the topic of your article:

/static/img/domains
/static/img/role
/static/img/problems
/static/img/topics

You can then reference to them by leaving out the /static part of the path. Preferably add images using the Markdown syntax like this:

![FAIR Data](/img/topics/FAIR_data_principles.png)

Using the img HTML tag will require additional prerequisites and is discouraged unless specifically needed for the page layout. If you have special formatting matters, please contact us.

Downloadable files

Please place downloadable files, e.g. document templates, in the assets folder:

/static/assets/file.pdf
/static/assets/template.docx

Please contact us for assistance in placing the correct links.
