Report on Integration of Data and Publications Grant Agreement no.: 261530
Obstacle
Data are unavailable
Data are unfindable
Data are uninterpretable
Data are not re-usable
Integration of Data and Publication helps to
Indicate availability of data
Links from the publication help locate datasets
Publications will describe and explain datasets, links
from data to publications help interpretability of
datasets
Description in article can improve usability or the
article can provide access to a re-usable set, perhaps
even offer an API to datasets ?
Table 4: Data Obstacles
As will be explained in the following chapters, there are 3 additional necessary
conditions that need to be fulfilled for good accessibility and re-usability of research
data. They are:
1. Citability
2. Curation
3. Preservation
These elements are also addressed in-depth in the following chapters and used as
criteria for drivers and potential opportunities for different players in the scholarly
communication landscape. Included in the following chapters are case studies for
laudable initiatives, reported unsolved issues, and opinions and desires as expressed to
the project team in email exchanges and interviews from the perspective of researchers,
publishers and libraries/data centres.
