Enhancement of the Release of Scientific Data in the Framework of Scientific Publishing

摘要

This proposal requested support for exploring a more rapid data release in the framework of the Journal of Geophysical Research (Oceans) Editorship. The goal is to develop a policy that would require data release at the same time as publication of the first scientific description of the research project that produced the data. Design and implementation of the policy should emphasize incentives and advantages of early data release in terms of possibilities of cooperation and the opportunity for the community to develop large integrated data sets to derive synthesized science products.
