Data articles are peer-reviewed, citable papers that describe research data. The datasets themselves must be freely accessible to readers and accessible during the peer-review process.
Data articles present and describe research data, enhancing their visibility and potential for reuse, but without conclusions or analyses. This allows authors to get published, citable credit for their work in generating research data. Publishing a data article does not prevent an author from publishing research papers using that data at a later date. For more information, please contact us.
