Members of this list may be interested in this announcement of a partnership between BMJ Open and the Dryad Data Repository: http://blog.datadryad.org/2011/06/27/bmj-open-a-new-partner-and-an-expanded-scope/ > 'BMJ Open is a new online-only, open access journal from the esteemed London-based BMJ Group. It is dedicated to publishing medical research from all disciplines and therapeutic areas, utilizing fully open peer review and immediate online publication.' > 'BMJ Open authors are now being strongly encouraged to deposit the data underlying their articles in Dryad or a more specialized repository, as appropriate. Authors submitting articles to the journal will benefit from Dryad’s journal submission integration, the process by which data deposit is streamlined for authors through behind-the-scenes communication between the journal and the repository.' As Peggy Schaeffer writes, 'Kudos to the Dryad UK project team ... for facilitating this pioneering partnership.' ***** JISC Grant Funding 07/11 Call Managing Research Data Programme 2011-13: http://www.jisc.ac.uk/fundingopportunities/funding_calls/2011/06/managingresearchdata.aspx ***** Programme Website: http://www.jisc.ac.uk/whatwedo/programmes/mrd.aspx Community Discussion List: research-data...@jiscmail.ac.uk Blog: http://researchdata.jiscinvolve.org/ Programme Tag: #jiscmrd ***** Twitter, Skype: simonhodson99 Calendar: https://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=simonhodso...@gmail.com&ctz=Europe/London&gsessionid=OK ***** Dr Simon HODSON Programme Manager – Managing Research Data JISC Executive Brettenham House (South Entrance) 5 Lancaster Place London WC2E 7EN E: s.hod...@jisc.ac.uk M1: +44 (0) 7545 524 009 T: +44 (0) 203 006 6071
