Chris Hoffman will facilitate. John Kratz, a post doc with the California Digital Library, will join us to talk about an overview article he coauthored recently, "Data Publication Consensus and Controversies" in F1000 Research (http://f1000research.com/articles/3-94/v2). Please read this article in advance of the meeting. In addition, at the end of May, Nature Publishing Group launched Scientific Data, its online open-access, peer-reviewed journal for data publications. Please read the inaugural editorial at http://www.nature.com/articles/sdata201410. Optionally, if you have an extra 90 seconds (!!), Scientific Data's video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrHM3bUym3g) offers an animated perspective on why data publications matter. ~Steve -- ===================== Steve Masover, IT Architect IST - Research Information Technology [email protected]
