[Esip-preserve] Fwd: Geoscience Data Journal

[Anne Wilson]

Interesting.  So, I wonder what aspects of the dataset are reviewed, if 
any?  I see three criteria for publication: datasets are in approved 
data centers (approved by who?), have been awarded DOIs, and the paper 
contains requisite info.  I suppose those can be easily enough 
confirmed.  Is that all that is checked?  What about the accuracy of the 
information provided?  Who does the reviews?  Is it anonymous?
