Publication of data supplements to complement a text publication
Publication of data supplements to complement a text publication
GFZ-Supplements can complement any single text publication.
Many publishing houses are already demanding permanent accessible deposit of data on which a text publication is based (see Nature as an example). Our format serves such requirements and offers the possibility to keep such data persistently available at GFZ.
Benefits of GFZ-Supplements
- Makes it citable (DOI), long time accessibility.
- A temporary access for reviewers is supplied (before publication).
- Simultanous publication of GFZ-Supplements with the refering text publication in journals and books.
- An adequate Creative Commons-License is assigned.
- The datasets can be offered in any structure and format (i.e. also as tables, maps, graphs, animations ...)
Requirements for GFZ-Supplements
- The data published should be complete and consistent, any changes are allowed.
- As this data publication is closely connected to a certain text publication (and which gives interpretation), any further interpretation of the data is required.
- Authors and title information.
- Cite it, including the DOI in the text publication.
- Data publications follow the general guidelines for scientists
