Data Publishing and Institutional Repositories
Varsha Khodiyar discussed data publishing and institutional repositories. Data papers allow data producers to receive credit and make data reuse easier by including details about what was done to generate the data, how it was processed, its location, who was involved and technical analyses supporting its quality. Unlike traditional articles, data papers do not contain new scientific hypotheses testing. Scientific Data publishes both a human-readable article and machine-accessible metadata. It recommends data repositories and allows authors to use their institution's repository when submitting, obtaining a DataCite DOI. Repositories are evaluated based on recognition, preservation plans, community standards implementation, stable identifiers and open access without commercial use restrictions.

Editor's Notes
- #3 Scientific Data is an open-access, peer-reviewed publication for descriptions of scientifically valuable datasets. Our primary article-type, the Data Descriptor, is designed to make your data more discoverable, interpretable and reusable.
- #4 Biology example: Sequence data from this Data Descriptor, was used to help develop and test this groundbreaking assembly algorithm published at Nature. Data publication does NOT in any way preclude collaboration and co-authorship – our observations so far suggest very much the opposite.
- #5 Daniele knew about the dataset prior to Chris’ paper being published, as Chris had shared this in Torrent Exchange. However he did not access the data from this. He saw on Twitter when the SciData paper was published and then read the paper. Daniele said “I would never have collected this data myself, as it’s not my primary field of work”. He said the Data Descriptor made it easier to use the data “for me it was critical that everything was there [in the Data Descriptor ]…all the technical details like voxel size.”
- #6 Data Descriptors are methodologically driven while traditional research articles are hypothesis driven. Nature-titled journals have agreed that prior publication of a Data Descriptor will not compromise the novelty of new manuscript submissions as long as those manuscripts go substantially beyond a descriptive analysis of the data, and report important new scientific findings appropriate for the journal.

- #8 We currently list almost 80 repositories, across biological, medical, physical and social sciences When required, we provide guidance to authors on the best place to store their data
