    Materials Project (MP, https://materialsproject.org) is harnessing the power of supercomputing together with state-of-the-art quantum mechanical theory and a scientific workflow stack driven by open-source Python software to compute the properties of all known inorganic materials and beyond, design novel materials and offer the data for free to the community together with online analysis and design algorithms. MP now also allows users to contribute and share new theoretical and experimental materials data with its community of more than 40,000 users via the MPContribs framework. The MPComplete service allows users to suggest new compounds for calculation by MP, thereby involving the community in the process of growing the available materials data. MPCite creates persistent citations and facilitates sharing amongst collaborators by assigning Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) to all MP compounds. MPContribs, MPComplete and MPCite are important steps in MP's effort to deliver a next-generation collaborative platform for Materials (Data) Science.
