Licensing for AI and TDM applications
Machine-ready articles to support your R&D’s digital future.
Researchers around the world and across the chemical sciences rely on the articles published in top-tier journals to make vital advances. The volume of valuable information available grows hourly – and any part of it might be crucial to the next breakthrough.
This is why more and more organisations are tapping into the opportunities offered by machine analysis to extract, pinpoint and apply insights from vast numbers of articles to their ongoing research. Machine-ready articles are feeding a future of greater knowledge and faster R&D.
With the growing development and application of AI applications within the discovery and research environment – most visibly in public large-language models (LLMs) – we are engaging with organisations to license publications from RSC journals, books and chemistry databases for TDM, training and building AI models, LLMs, and agentic AI services.
How are industrial researchers using AI and TDM?
AI and TDM applications are being used effectively to drive targeted, evidence-based R&D.
- Discovery. Pinpointing the right content across the breadth of internal and external data sources.
- Data integration. Creating a master view of all accessible data, enhanced to add context and links.
- Project support. Accessing the right research and knowledge to address project needs.
- Modelling. Extracting data from documents to build new models.
- New knowledge. Inferring new knowledge from integrated and enhanced data resources.
Depending on their local legal framework, researchers in academia may be permitted to carry out TDM on articles accessed via our article pages for non-commercial uses, and should check with their institution’s librarian.
Please contact us beforehand if you are planning a text mining project, as we will need to make sure the machine access doesn’t affect other users, or contradict our terms and conditions.
What can we provide?
We have practical licensing options, and a dedicated data support team on hand to help with queries.
Industry sectors supported by the research we publish include:
- Agrochemicals and food chemistry
- Battery and electrochemistry
- Chemical analysis
- Dyes, printing and inks
- Emerging technologies
- Energy, fuels and renewables
- Glass, metals, ceramics and pigments
- Green chemistry

- Pharmaceuticals
- Polymers
- Semiconductors and optical materials
- Synthesis and speciality chemicals
- Water treatment technologies
Preparing for an integrated future
We are working towards a future in which science can be easily interrogated by machine applications as soon as it is published, to support the growth of chemical science knowledge.
Making our publications available for AI and TDM applications is the first step to achieving this.
TDM rights reservation
The Royal Society of Chemistry expressly reserves its rights (including as permitted under Article 4 of EU Directive 2019/790) to prohibit TDM activities for any purpose except to the extent that the user’s rights to carry out TDM activities cannot be limited by law.
