Data Reproducibility and Traceability forCommunity Materials Databases: Qresp for MatD3
The discovery of new materials as well as the determination of a vast set of materials properties for science and technology is a fast-growing field of research, with contributions from many groups worldwide.

The discovery of new materials as well as the determination of a vast set of materials properties for science and technology is a fast-growing field of research, with contributions from many groups worldwide. Materials data from individual research groups is traditionally disseminated by means of loosely interconnected, peer-reviewed publications. The combined Qresp MatD3 solution allows researchers to enter their data as well as associated publication and reproducibility information in a single workflow: i) Creation of a MatD3 entry with simultaneous generation of the corresponding metadata for Qresp curation and exploration; ii) Generation of Qresp metadata for an already existing MatD3 entry, and iii) Generation of MatD3entries from Qresp metadata.
