    C13-NMR spectra used for the CSEARCH-Robot-Referee:340,554 for free
    Predicted C13-NMR spectra for Similarity-Searches:74,435,185 for free
    Evaluation of C13-NMR Assignments:YES, see here
    C13-NMR based Spectral Similarity-Searches:YES, see here
    Accessing evaluation directly from Bruker's TOPSPIN program family:YES
    Accessing the Spectral Smilarity Search directly from Bruker's TOPSPIN program family:YES
    Long-term storing of own spectral data:YES
    Using own spectral data for prediction of C13-NMR chemical shifts:YES
    Using own spectral data for evaluating new data:YES
    Donating spectra to the community possible ?YES
    Which type of classification is given ?Similar to the usual classification
    of peer-reviewing: ACCEPT, MINOR &
    MAJOR REVISION and REJECT
    Is this "seal of approval" requested by journals?YES; an increasingly number of referees is
    already requesting this evaluation
    What happens when the evaluation gives a MAJOR REVISION or REJECT ?Depending on the personal setting a
    Spectral Similarity Search or a
    Structure Generation Process
    can be automatically launched
    Transfer of results to mobile devices possible:YES, using QR-codes
    Can I cite the evaluation in my publication ?YES, the given QR-code
    is a permanent URL
    Resulting pages are protected against manipulation:YES
    Complete history of all requests for a certain compound visible:YES, on a per-email basis
    Can I implement accessing this system into my "ELN"-software?YES, ask for specifications
    Is this system already in use with a Chemistry-related journal ?see here: European Journal of Organic Chemistry
    You need a more detailed evaluation including
    drilling down into your data:
    Use a more sophisticated implementation of
    CSEARCH-technology and/or data from
    my commercial cooperation partners:

  • HaveItAll / KnowItAll
  • MestReNova / NMRPredict&Mnova Verify
  • NMRPredict
  • SPECINFO
  • TOPSPIN / CMC-se


  • Please, dont bother me with the old discussion about open source/open access:
    Open access is a PROPERTY and NOT A SEAL OF QUALITY


  • In any case, somebody has to pay for accessing information
  • Either the tax-payer in advance with the risk that a funded project is not successful
  • or the end-user, without any risk because (s)he can select an already established product

  • Personally, I prefer the last possibility !

    is necessary before first usage



    Why do we need such a Robot-Referee for 13C-NMR assignments
    based on high-quality data and excellent algorithms ?

    The publication
    The referee-report
    The complete story

    I am quite sure you agree, that we do not want to solve future
    structure elucidation problems based on such "reference material" !



    Web-Interface for the "CSEARCH-Robot-Referee"

    Web-Interface for the "CSEARCH-Robot-Referee" (Mirrored)



    (Both need Javascript)



    New release of the CSEARCH-Robot-Referee from 2014-12-06 (Documentation)



    New features:



    • Better presentation of the result of the evaluation (feedback from the Berlin 2014 presentation)

    • Summary of all evaluations performed for a particular compound can be recalled (see table at the end of each evaluation page)

    • Every evaluation has a digital signature which can be verified online – manipulation of the resulting page is therefore impossible (the chance to manipulate a page successfully is below 1 : 10**40 ! For better understanding, this corresponds to the successful isolation of one molecule out of approximately 10 PetaMoles of substance)

    • The underlying distribution of each predicted value is analyzed in detail – The result is given together with the predicted chemical shift value

    • The Robot-referee evaluates a request as 'Major Revision' or 'Reject' – A similarity search using 74,000,000 predicted CNMR-spectra based on the PUBCHEM-Compounds is automatically launched



    New release of the CSEARCH-Robot-Referee from 2015-09-04 (Documentation)



    New features:


    • Create a private database – Every user can select previously performed evaluations as reference database for upcoming requests. It is strongly recommended to use only datasets of superior quality for this purpose. This user-database is fully searchable and contributes to every prediction/evaluation as CSEARCH-databases do.

    • Donate spectra to the public – There is a possibility to donate assignments after a predefined period of time for further use within CSEARCH-databases

    • Online help – When hovering with the mouse-cursor over certain text-portions a descriptive help-text pops up

    • QR-codes in "CSEARCH2go" – Whenever it might make sense, QR-codes have been implemented into the resulting webpages allowing to transfer your data to your mobile devices quite easily

    • Similarity-Search will be automatically started – Whenever the result of an evaluation is either "Major Revision" or "Reject", a Spectral Similarity Search using 74 millions of predicted 13C-NMR spectra will be launched using the given peaklist
