Vignette Library

Overview

Literature Vignettes summarize publications (or unpublished work) that demonstrate how NMR was used to solve scientific problems. These vignettes aim to inform the community by highlighting practical applications of NMR and to help researchers "advertise" concise summaries of their work with others.

Content Vignettes are created by users who are designated as KB Content providers and are designed to provide additional information for Novice Knowledgebases.

Who Can Create Literature Vignettes?

Any authenticated user on the NAN web portal can create Literature Vignettes. The goal is for this to become a community-driven resource.
