<p>Dear Colleagues,<br /><br />
We're pleased to announce that <strong>openICPSR is now an officially recommended repository for <em><a href="http://www.nature.com/sdata/">Scientific Data</a></em></strong>.</p>
<p><em>Scientific Data</em> 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.</p>
<p align="center"><img src="http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/files/ICPSR/enewsletters/newsletter-2015-03-31-image1.png" border="0" alt=" " style="width:400px;" /></p>
<p>There are a number of reasons why an increasing number of scientists are deciding to take this important extra step:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Citable, peer-reviewed credit</strong> for their dataset</li>
<li><strong>Enhanced discoverability</strong> of their work through exposure on Nature.com</li>
<li>Publication of valuable datasets that <strong>may not be well suited</strong> for traditional research journals</li>
<li>Recognition to researchers who <strong>may not qualify</strong> for authorship of traditional articles</li>
</ul>
<p><em>Scientific Data</em> 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: <a href="http://www.nature.com/ijo/journal/v39/n3/full/ijo2014171a.html">Race/ethnic disparities in early childhood BMI, obesity and overweight in the United Kingdom and United States</a>.</p>
<p>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, <strong>you won't need to move your data from <a href="http://www.openicpsr.org/">openICPSR.org</a></strong> to publish in the journal.</p>
<p>To find out more about publishing your article(s), please <a href="mailto:scientificdata@nature.com">email <em>Scientific Data</em></a>. Questions on publishing your social and behavioral science research data with openICPSR should be sent to <a href="mailto:netmail@icpsr.umich.edu">netmail@icpsr.umich.edu</a></p>
