Egon Willighagen<p>scientific discussion moved from "letters to the editor" to PubPeer.

I looked them up, and annotated some of the citations with the Citation Typing Ontology, made <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mas.to/@nanopub" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>nanopub</span></a></span> and put them in <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://wikis.world/@wikidata" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>wikidata</span></a></span> </p><p><a href="https://social.edu.nl/tags/openscience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>openscience</span></a> <a href="https://social.edu.nl/tags/cheminformatics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cheminformatics</span></a></p>
