About Data Paper
What is a data paper?
A data paper is a form of academic paper published in relevant data journals through peer review.
Unlike traditional research papers, data papers do not present hypotheses and conclusions.
Instead, they primarily describe relevant information about the dataset(s) the author has made publicly available.
This includes details on how the data was generated and collected, data types, species covered, where is the location of the data resources, and background information about the dataset (metadata).
Through the licensing of data provided by the author, data papers serve as a basis for citing data in future academic papers.
The benefits and purposes of publishing data papers include:
- Providing citable journal publications (e.g., with a DOI) to bring scholarly credit to the data publishers
- Structured, human-readable data descriptions
- Increasing the visibility, usability, and credibility of the data resources you publish
- More effectively tracking the usage and citation of the data you publish
Data Paper Publication Process
In general, your dataset will determine the thematic-focused data journals that are suitable for submission.
您也可以選擇主題範圍較廣泛且與生物多樣性領域相關的資料期刊「Biodiversity Data Journal」，
或則不限領域限制的「Data in Brief」或「Scientific Data」等期刊（更多期刊資訊請參閱資料期刊）。
此頁將特別介紹arpha Writing Tool的資料論文撰寫與發表工具。
arpha Writing Tool是由Pensoft出版社開發的文章發表工具，幫助簡化了發表資料論文的流程。
Once you upload your data through TaiBIF's data publishing tool IPT and publish it, you can download the automatically generated RTF/EML files (containing GBIF dataset metadata information) and upload them to the tool.
整個合作撰寫、建議、修改、提交、同儕審查以及發布的動作都能在此線上工具中完成。arpha Writing Tool目前支持直接將資料論文提交至Biodiversity Data Journal。
The following PDF tutorial will guide you step by step on how to use this tool to publish data articles.
