  1. Scientific Data: a new open-access, data publication from the Nature Publishing Group LCLS/SSRL Users' Meeting, Oct 9, 2014 Andrew L. Hufton Managing Editor, Scientific Data Nature Publishing Group andrew.hufton@nature.com

  4. The Data Journal concept • Data must be well described before others can use it and benefit from it. • Scientists who share data in a reusable manner deserve credit through citable publications. • Several journals now offer “data paper” article-types, including GigaScience, F1000Research, Earth Systems Science Data, Biodiversity Data Journal

  5. Now Live!

  6. Get Credit for Sharing Your Data Publications will be indexed and citeable. Open-access Authors select from three Creative Commons licenses for the main Data Descriptor. Each publication supported by CCO metadata. Focused on Data Reuse All the information others need to reuse the data; no interpretative analysis, or hypothesis testing Peer-reviewed Rigorous peer-review focused on technical data quality and reuse value Promoting Community Data Repositories Not a new data repository; data stored in community data repositories

  7. Data Descriptor • Focus on data reuse Detailed descriptions of the methods and technical analyses supporting the quality of the measurements. Does not contain tests of new scientific hypotheses Sections: • Title • Abstract • Background & Summary • Methods • Technical Validation • Data Records • Usage Notes • Figures & Tables • References • Data Citations • Joint Declaration of Data Citation Principles by the Data Citation Synthesis Group, incl.: • CODATA • Research Data Alliance, • Force11 + curated machine-readable metadata (ISA-Tab)

  8. Data Descriptorrelation with traditional articles Methods and technical analyses supporting the quality of the measurements. Do not contain tests of new scientific hypotheses Synthesis Analysis Conclusions What did I do to generate the data? How was the data processed? Where is the data? Who did what when

  9. Overcoming barriers to data sharing • Actively looking to publish cutting-edge datasets in fields where data sharing is rare. • Helping authors find the best place to archive their data • Working to find better options for sharing BIG data

  10. Diverse Content Publishing across the natural sciences

  11. Biology • Associated Nature Article • Data at figshare& NCBI GEO • Integrated figshare data viewer

  12. Environmental • New Dataset • Data in figshare • Code in figshare • Integrated figshare data viewer • Cited in Science

  13. Chemistry • New Dataset • Computationally-derived • Data at figshare • Integrated figshare data-viewer

  14. Expanding in the physical sciences • Growing list of physical sciences Editorial Board members: • Janos Hajdu, Uppsala University, Sweden • Jim Halliday, STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, & UKERC, UK • Stephan C. Schürer, University of Miami, USA • Matthew Todd, The University of Sydney, Australia • Recent editorial at Nature Physics, “It's good to share”
