[Esip-preserve] FW: Scientific Data: publish, discover, and reuse research

Fri May 17 08:40:20 EDT 2013

Looks interesting...

http://www.nature.com/scientificdata/

Scientific Data is a new open-access, online-only publication for 
descriptions of scientifically valuable datasets. It introduces a new 
type of content called the Data Descriptor, which will combine 
traditional narrative content with curated, structured descriptions of 
research data, including detailed methods and technical analyses 
supporting data quality. Scientific Data will initially focus on the 
life, biomedical and environmental science communities, but will be open 
to content from a wide range of scientific disciplines. Publications 
will be complementary to both traditional research journals and data 
repositories, and will be designed to foster data sharing and reuse, and 
ultimately to accelerate scientific discovery.

Scientific Data will launch in Spring 2014 and be open for submissions 
in Autumn 2013. Sign up for our e-mail alerts or follow us to stay informed.

[...]

Researchers, funders, community standards initiatives and learned 
societies alike are calling for new ways to make scientific data more 
available, citable, discoverable, interpretable, reusable and 
reproducible. Broader release and reuse of scientific data require 
credit mechanisms that reward scientists for releasing their data, and 
peer-evaluation mechanisms that evaluate data quality and ensure 
alignment with community standards.

Scientific Data aims to meet these needs through the publication of Data 
Descriptors: peer-reviewed, scientific publications that provide 
detailed descriptions of experimental and observational datasets. Data 
Descriptors will be a combination of traditional scientific publication 
content and structured, curated information.

[...]

Data Descriptors are curated to ensure internal consistency, 
completeness and provenance encompassing different life, biomedical and 
environmental domains, to enhance query performance and discoverability, 
and to strive for strive for alignment with community-developed minimum 
information requirements and terminologies
