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

Data are

*peer reviewed? certified?

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

Simple case…

Data citations should be in reference list. Five-element citation: author, year, title, publisher, identifier


Boettiger C, Dushoff J, Weitz JS (2009). Data from: Fluctuation domains in adaptive evolution. Theoretical Population Biology. Published in Dryad. doi:10.5061/dryad.j8n0p7vc

More complicated…

Deep data citation: what if you want to cite a subset? Dynamic data: how to create a reliable citation when a dataset is changing?


Technical VS. Scientific

Sometimes consider impact and/or novelty

Guidelines provided


From Flickr by Percival Lowell

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?

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

Most require data be in a trusted repository. All have a component of peer review. Examples: •  Standalone journals: Nature Scientific Data, Geoscience Data

Journal, Ecological Archives •  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) Examples: •  Open Context •  NASA PDS Peer Review Data •  figshare (but no validation)
