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

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
