The Royal Meteorological Society has partnered with Wiley to publish an open access journal which "will publish short, earth science data papers cross-linked to datasets that have been deposited in approved data centres and awarded DOIs."
From the announcement:
Geoscience Data Journal is online-only
and will publish short data
papers (articles describing a dataset, giving details including
collection,
processing, software and file formats) covering topics ranging from
weather and
climate, to oceanography, atmospheric chemistry and geology. All
published data
papers will be linked to datasets, which provide details of the
collection,
processing and file formatting of data.
“Issues around provenance, curation, recognition and discovery of
data have
always been important, but never as much as over recent years,” said
Professor
Paul Hardaker, Chief Executive of the Royal Meteorological Society.
“Being able
to publish data in a peer-reviewed journal not only helps to address
many of
these challenges, but for the first time will help to recognise the
contribution
that data and those scientists that work with data make to the wider
community.”
The journal is now accepting papers. You can find out more information here:
