ChemSpider, the Royal Society of Chemistry's free online chemistry database,
won its third award of the year last week.

ChemSpider was awarded the prestigious ALPSP Award for Publishing Innovation
2010 in a shortlist of four. This Award recognises a significantly
innovative approach to any aspect of publication. The judges considered the
originality and innovative qualities of each application, together with its
utility, benefit to its community and long term development prospects.

The judges said: "ChemSpider has quickly become a highly valued and
comprehensive community resource and has immense potential for future
development."

ChemSpider, which won the iExpo/KM Forum 2010 'Most Innovative Software'
award in June on the back of the Bio-IT Best Practice Award for Community
Service in April, links together compound information across the web,
providing free text and structure search access of millions of chemical
structures. With an abundance of additional property information, tools to
curate and use the data, and integration to a multitude of other online
services, ChemSpider is the richest single source of structure-based
chemistry information available online.

Antony Williams, VP Strategic Development at the RSC, said: "Our efforts
remain focused on innovating and extending the reach of the ChemSpider
platform with the intention of providing a free online resource of
high-quality chemistry data for the community. We are honoured that ALPSP
have acknowledged our work with this innovation award."
