Abstract

"The research community needs reliable, standard ways to make the data produced by scientic research available to the community, while getting credit as data authors. As a result, a new form of scholarly publication is emerging: data publishing. Data publishing - or making data long-term accessible, reusable and citable - is more involved than simply providing a link to a data le or posting the data to the researchers web site. In this paper, we dene what is needed for proper data publishing and describe how the open-source Dataverse software helps dene, enable and enhance data publishing for all."
