Scientific Data approves openICPSR as Recommended Data Repository

Dear Colleagues,

We're pleased to announce that openICPSR is now an officially recommended  
repository for Scientific Data.

Scientific Data is an open access journal from Nature Publishing Group that  
aids discoverability, citation, and reuse of research data. Scientific  
Data's article types, known as Data Descriptors, are designed to provide  
curated descriptions of valuable data that may otherwise be under-utilized  
by the scientific community.


There are a number of reasons why an increasing number of scientists are  
deciding to take this important extra step:


Citable, peer-reviewed credit for their dataset
Enhanced discoverability of their work through exposure on Nature.com
Publication of valuable datasets that may not be well suited for  
traditional research journals
Recognition to researchers who may not qualify for authorship of  
traditional articles

Scientific Data welcomes articles from all areas of science. Its open  
access policy ensures articles are made freely available online and exposed  
to the widest possible audience. You can see an example article here:  
Race/ethnic disparities in early childhood BMI, obesity and overweight in  
the United Kingdom and United States.

As part of your research, it is likely you already have all the information  
you need to prepare a Data Descriptor. And as openICPSR is now fully  
recommended by the journal, you won't need to move your data from  
openICPSR.org to publish in the journal.

To find out more about publishing your article(s), please email Scientific  
Data. Questions on publishing your social and behavioral science research  
data with openICPSR should be sent to netmail at icpsr.umich.edu


Kind regards,

Linda Detterman
