Culture Shift Required

“I own my data and you can’t have it.”

“Let me do my work.”

“I’m already too busy.”

“This takes away from research time.”

Data can’t be owned.

What does “data publication” mean? 1. Available 2. Citable 3. Trustworthy

Data are

Available | Citable | Trustworthy

•  Publish means to “make public”. •  You should not have to email the author. •  The data doesn’t have to be open access.

“Email me!” CC-0 on web

Best practice: data in a trusted community repository with a machine-readable license/waiver

Repositories for data

General content

Non-institutional

Publishers/for-profits

Other

Institutional

Discipline-specific

Repository choices…

Institutional

Discipline-specific

•  All data associated with a paper

•  Tells a story •  Clearinghouse for

researcher’s works

•  Some of data for a given paper

•  Discoverable •  Integrated systems •  Collection policies

For articles: peer review For data: ? peer review? validation?

Technical VS. Scientific


Technical review: completeness, formats


Peer review of data

Scientific review: importance, methods evaluation

vs


Peer review of data •  Experts •  Users •  Community •  Use = validation

Who?

1.  Data as supplemental material

Data published alongside a traditional journal article. Available + citable. Review varies. Potential issues with long-term availability.

What does a data publication look like?

From Flickr by subsetsum

2.  Data paper: Data + descriptive “data paper”

Standalone journals: Nature Scientific Data, Geoscience Data Journal, Ecological Archives OR Journals that publish data papers: GigaScience, F1000 Research, Internet Archaeology



3.  Standalone data

Data published without a related journal article. Rich metadata (structured or unstructured) •  Institutional repository •  Open Context •  NASA PDS Peer Review Data •  figshare (but no validation)



…“publication” insinuates that we are beholden to the current broken system of journal publication. The word itself has too much baggage. …bureaucrats, funders, and institutions have a familiarity with the word and it will ensure the success of the data publication goals, regardless of whether we break the mold in the process.
