Dear All

JISC is supporting our group to research the case for and develop an API 
and ‘helper app’ that allows researchers who have deposited data in a 
repository to automatically submit a ‘data article’ to a journal at the 
click of a button.

The proposed API will transfer data and metadata from the repository to 
a journal’s submission system, with an intermediary ‘helper app’ 
allowing authors to add their manuscript, references and other necessary 
information before submission. Article metadata will be sent back to the 
repository upon publication. These tools will be designed for maximum 
interoperability and made freely available.

This initiative will make it much easier for authors to obtain credit, 
visibility and peer review for their data via data article publication. 
This will have knock-on benefits for other stakeholders: journals will 
receive more submissions and link referrals, repositories will gain more 
deposits and more complete metadata, and readers will have better 
methodological detail to help them reuse or replicate data.

We are keen to hear from interested stakeholders, especially publishers 
and repositories. To that end, we've compiled 2 short surveys 
(approximately 10 minutes long) to enhance the scope and utility of the 
project. Please take part in either the Publishers or Repositories 
survey - links below - and feel free to pass this message on to others.
