Underpinning of good science 17th Century vs 21st Century Underpinning of good science Challenges for publications to provide original data Data today is born digital Access and re-use of data and models 5

The Challenge…. Goal: How do we enable others to cite our data easily especially if published to data.gov rather than a data repository? Goal: How can we track impact? Prepare for future? How do we make data citation easier? Persistent Identifier at a minimum? Meet the needs of research colleagues, data control, and cultural change (Why share my raw data? What if someone scoops me on a future journal article?) 6
