Slide 2
What do authors and readers say Storing Data: The majority of
participants say that some or all of their data is stored locally
and not published.
Slide 3
What do authors and readers say Using Data: The majority of
participants look for other researchers datasets, with more than
half doing so once a month or more for each data type, and between
a fifth and a quarter doing so once a week or more frequently.
Slide 4
Find the right repository for your data
Slide 5
What to look for in a data repository Quality curation A
commitment to long-term preservation Features that support
collaborative analysis Features that allow you keep data private
until you are ready to publish. Investigate data archiving options
at your institution
Slide 6
Find the right repository for your data Browse our recommended
data repository online. We currently list more than 60
repositories, across the biological, physical and social sciences
We advise authors on the best place to store their data
Slide 7
Find the right repository for your data When a specific data
repository does not exist for your field, we recommend:
Slide 8
Publish your data
Slide 9
The Data Journal concept Data must be well described before
others can use it and benefit from it. Scientists who share data in
a reusable manner deserve credit through citable publications. Data
quality matters 9

supported by CCO metadata. Focused on Data Reuse All the
information others need to reuse the data; no interpretative
analysis, or hypothesis testing Peer-reviewed Rigorous peer-review
focused on technical data quality and reuse value Promoting
Community Data Repositories Not a new data repository; data stored
in community data repositories
Slide 13
When might you submit a manuscript to a data journal? Publish
your data early Publish a data paper alongside your research
publications Describe standalone datasets that dont fit in your
other publications Release data used in your previous research
articles 13
Slide 14
Publish early: screening data Full screen data for RNAi
knockdown of 238 genes Data at figshare & GenomeRNAi Findings
from specific hits published later at PLOS One
Slide 15
Publish alongside: major consortiums See the Focus on RNA
sequencing quality control (SEQC) In the September issue of Nature
Biotechnology A comprehensive assessment of RNA-seq accuracy,
reproducibility and information content by the Sequencing Quality
Control Consortium SEQC/MAQC-III Consortium | doi:10.1038/nbt.2957
The concordance between RNA-seq and microarray data depends on
chemical treatment and transcript abundance Wang et al. |
doi:10.1038/nbt.3001 Cross-platform ultradeep transcriptomic
profiling of human reference RNA samples by RNA-Seq Xu et al. |
