A database of Chemical Science institutions and industries in Kerala

We developed this database to identify sampling units (entities related to Chemical Science education and career in Kerala) for the study 'Women’s Career Pathway in Chemical Sciences; a Multi-stage Investigation in Kerala' using two approaches: Using search engines and visiting official databases of government departments and institutional websites. By asking faculties, researchers and students in the Chemical Science field to supplement the list generated by the first approach. We hope that this database will be useful for researchers in the field and students who wish to pursue their careers in Chemical Sciences. <em>All authors contributed equally to this work.</em> <em>This research is supported by the Royal Society of Chemistry Inclusion and Diversity Fund, 2020</em>本数据库专为研究《喀拉拉邦女性化学科学职业发展路径：多阶段调研》构建，用于识别抽样单元——即与喀拉拉邦化学科学教育及职业发展相关的研究对象。数据库构建采用两种方法：一是借助搜索引擎开展检索，二是访问政府部门官方数据库与机构官方网站；同时邀请化学科学领域的教职人员、研究人员及学生对首轮生成的研究对象名单进行补充完善。本数据库旨在为该领域研究人员及有志于投身化学科学职业发展的学生提供助力。<em>本文全体作者贡献均等。</em><em>本研究获2020年英国皇家化学会（Royal Society of Chemistry）包容性与多样性基金资助。
