Scientific Data
"Scientific Data is an open-access, online-only
publication for descriptions of scientifically valuable datasets, and
exists to help you publish, discover and reuse research data.
Scientific Data’s main article-type is the Data
Descriptor: peer-reviewed, scientific publications that provide an
in-depth look at research datasets.
Data Descriptors are a combination of traditional
scientific publication content and structured information curated
in-house, and are designed to maximize reuse and enable searching,
linking and data mining.
Each is peer-reviewed under the supervision of our Editorial Board.
Data Descriptors include detailed descriptions of
the methods used to collect the data and technical analyses supporting
the quality of the measurements, but do not contain tests of new
scientific hypotheses, extensive analyses aimed at
providing new scientific insights, or descriptions of fundamentally new
scientific methods.
Hosted on nature.com — the home of over 80 journals
published by Nature Publishing Group and the destination for millions
of scientists globally every month — Data Descriptors are disseminated
to the widest possible audience through a programme
of continuous online publication.
All accepted Data Descriptors will be published,
under an open-access licence selected by the authors, on payment of an
article-processing charge (APC) that also includes the data-record
curation process."
