Why do I have to publish “my” MOSAiC data?

  • Each PI / lead author assures both raw and primary (processed) data are published, which will guarantee their Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability and Reusability (FAIR data principles).
  • See MOSAiC Data Policy for details.
  • MOSAiC participants by agreeing to the MOSAiC Data policy ensure that MOSAiC is a successful and resource-effective research project. With that, each PI / lead author assures both raw and primary (processed) data are published. Data publication in a dedicated data repository will guarantee their Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability and Reusability (FAIR data principles).
  • See MOSAiC Data Policy for details.

What is data publication?

Why making a distinction between data publication and a manuscript?

  • Authorship and acknowledgement:
    • often the data authors and paper authors overlap, but it is not always like that
    • acknowledging contributions of scientists, who generated the data, but did not contribute to the interpretation or manuscript writing
  • FAIR data principles
    • Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability and Reusability: these are easier to guarantee in data repositories than in journal publishers
    • Data publishers: focus on metatadata

What isn't data publication?

  • Data publication isn’t adding a data table as a supplement to a published scientific paper. Often these are in the form of xlsx file or table in pdf. If the paper is not open access, the supplement isn't open access either. The dataset isn't citable!
  • Data publication isn’t sharing data at MOSAiC Central Storage (MCS).
  • Data publication isn't a statement in the paper "Data used for this manuscript were uploaded to PANGAEA and will be available soon."

What is data publication?

  • Data publication is a published data set or data collection equipped with a complete set of metadata. It is fully citable by having a title, authors, abstract and a persistent identifier (usually DOI). It can have but need not have a reference to a scientific paper publication.
