NEW YORK, NY, January 18, 2016 -- Sample of Science and the collaborative writing platform Authorea have partnered to empower researchers around the world to share materials samples
more efficiently. Development of novel materials is a growing area of research and the Sample of Science and the Authorea partnership makes it easier for researchers
to write brief descriptions of their materials and share the samples with other scientists.
"Sample of Science is solving an important problem in the field of chemistry
and materials sciences. We are happy that Authorea can serve as the writing platform for submissions to Sample of Science. If samples from experiments are made more openly
accessible, it can help make research more efficient -- something we value greatly” said Alberto Pepe, CEO of Authorea. “Authorea and Sample of Science share a passion for giving researchers great tools that help them do better work.”
Sharing samples of newly synthesized materials is an important step in the research
cycle. For example, a
carbon material developed in Berlin can subsequently be validated or utilized by research groups in Boston. Scientists who want to increase the visibility
of their research and facilitate new experiments can write brief descriptions of
their novel materials samples using the Authorea platform. All materials,
together with brief descriptions, will be made available on the
Sample of Science portal.
Felix Evert, managing director of Sample of Science, is certain that the
partnership will improve the research process for scientists who synthesize novel materials. “Better science is all
about enabling researchers to disseminate the right information more
efficiently. Authorea is an excellent digital writing tool. The lean online
template for submission of brief sample descriptions is ideal for chemists and materials scientists who want to communicate their findings quickly," Evert explains.

Sample of Science was founded in 2015 as a digital platform which
connects researchers synthesizing novel materials with researchers who need
them. The platform publishes open access description of novel materials and
facilitates interdisciplinary collaborations based on materials from
experiments. The company is located at the Freie Universität Berlin which is
also one of the first cooperation partners of Sample of Science.
