Policy pressure: STFC example https://www.stfc.ac.uk/Resources/pdf/STFC_Scientific_Data_Policy.pdf
Policy pressure: DOE example DMPs should provide a plan for making all research data displayed in publications resulting from the proposed research open, machine-readable, and digitally accessible to the public at the time of publication. …the underlying digital research data used to generate the displayed data should be made as accessible as possible to the public in accordance with the principles stated above. http://science.energy.gov/funding-opportunities/digital-data-management/
Expectations: PLOS Data Policy www.plos.org
Concerns across disciplines Datasets are… Not shared or lost Difficult to discover and access Difficult to understand > context missing Nature, 2009
How this challenge is addressed
Example: Dedicated Data Repositories www.pangaea.de
Preserving and promoting data reuse www.pangaea.de
International sharing and curation of data ww.icgc.org
ICGC – Data Publication Timeline Time limits for publication moratoriums: All data shall become free of a publication moratorium when either the data is published by the ICGC member project or one year after a specified quantity of data (e.g. genome dataset from 100 tumors per project) has been released via the ICGC database or other public databases. […] In all cases data shall be free of a publication moratorium two years after its initial release. https://icgc.org/icgc/goals-structure-policies-guidelines/e3-publication-policy

Standards
Licensing Enable others to reuse your data and software Choose the licenses or public domain dedications accordingly As “open” as possible Re-Use There are measures to demand citations to track reuse and the impact of your work If you re-use, cite the dataset yourself
DOIs for datasets URLs are not persistent (e.g. Wren JD: URL decay in MEDLINE- a 4-year follow-up study. Bioinformatics. 2008, Jun 1;24(11):1381-5). Digital Object Identifiers (DOI names) offer a solution Mostly widely used identifier for scientific articles Researchers, authors, publishers know how to use them Put datasets on the same playing field as articles Dataset Yancheva et al (2007). Analyses on sediment of Lake Maar. PANGAEA. doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.587840 Slides by courtesy of Dr. Jan Brase, DataCite
ORCID id www.orcid.org
Force11- Data Citation Principles Author, Publication Year, Dataset Title, Data Repository, Version, Unique Identifier - should include a persistent method for identification that is machine actionable and globally unique - should facilitate identification of, access to, and verification of the specific data that support a claim. www.force11.org
Data Citation in Practice
Quality assurance for data: peer review Products Data records in data repositories Data journals Data articles Note: standalone vs. supporting materials QA Workflows Standalone or integrated? Blind and invited peer review Open peer review Citable review reports
How to publish your data Decide which dataset should be preserved or which dataset might be of interest for others to study or reuse Are there issues which restrict the publishing process, e.g. confidentiality for patient data? Which data product? Do I have enough materials for a dedicated data article? Which journal or repository works for me? Prepare the documentation/metadata Publish and let the others know you did Cite the dataset in the resulting papers Track who used and cited your data

Conclusions Policy pressure nationally and globally: we need data publishing solutions Considerable advancements in many disciplines We learn from best practices HEP with commitment to data preservation and open data releases First tools are available to support data preservation and data publishing
