The first Reproducibility Paper was published recently:
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0306437915301113
and is linked to this paper:
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0306437915000472
The data is hosted here: https://data.mendeley.com/datasets/xz6gv65m6d/6
To reproduce the experiment, the journal requires source code for the software components,
together with installation scripts, and we suggest authors to host their code in GitHub (See
software publication project) , In addition to the source code, we recommend authors to
submit a virtual machine, where all appropriate software components are readily installed and
can be reproduced on a wide variety of platforms. Authors are to submit their experiments
using either ReproZip or Docker.

Share and Publish, Tomorrow:
• ICSU/WDS/RDA Publishing Data Service Working group
• Currently creating linked-data model for exposing DOI to
DOI links outside publisher’s firewall
• Merged with National Data Service pilot with the same goal
• Collaboration between CrossRef, DataCite, Europe PubMed
Central, ANDS, Thompson Reuters, Elsevier
• About to deliver: http://dliservice.research-infrastructures.eu/#/api
Objective: move from
.. a one-for-all cross-
referencing service for
articles and data
a plethora of (mostly) bilateral
arrangements between the
different players… to…

Paper
1. Researcher creates datasets and posts to
repository(under embargo)
2. Funder is automatically notified of dataset publication
3. Researcher writes paper & publishes in journal;
embargo is lifted and data linked
- NB this also allows release of non-used data for negative result and
reproducibility
4. Funder and institution get report on publication and embargo lifting

Networks of Collaboration:
Force11:
- Multi-stakeholder, member-driven organisation
- Unites scholars, tool developers, librarians, publishers, funding agencies etc. etc.
- E.g. Software citation group, akin to Data Citation Group
- Will present at Force16 in Portland, OR April 17-19, 2016
National Data Service:
- Multi-stakeholder group, based around supercomputing centres
- Aims to be a ‘connective tissue’ between data creation, curation, storage etc projects.
- Inviting Pilots: two or more partners who have not worked together, interested in
collaborating on a data-centric project to solve a real-world needs: can include software
sharing
- E.g. Datasearch, Data Linking systems
RDA:
- Coleading Data publishing, linking group
- Colead Cost Recovery group
- Active in Chemistry, Earth Science groups
- Starting BoF Data Search
The National
DATA SERVICE
