Hello everyone,
Our next Research IT reading (Thursday, June 19 at noon, in 200C Warren
Hall) will feature a discussion about the emergence of data publications
as a means of documenting and sharing research data. Chris Hoffman will
facilitate.
John Kratz, a post doc with the California Digital Library, will join us
to talk about an overview article he coauthored recently, "Data
Publication Consensus and Controversies" in F1000 Research
(http://f1000research.com/articles/3-94/v2). Please read this article in
advance of the meeting.
In addition, at the end of May, Nature Publishing Group launched
Scientific Data, its online open-access, peer-reviewed journal for data
publications. Please read the inaugural editorial at
http://www.nature.com/articles/sdata201410.
Optionally, if you have an extra 90 seconds (!!), Scientific Data's
video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrHM3bUym3g) offers an animated
perspective on why data publications matter.
