[open-science] BioMed Central Open Data Award

Thu May 13 13:49:37 UTC 2010

Dear all,

In recognition of the fact that science publishing now goes beyond the
traditional journal article, BioMed Central have teamed up with
Microsoft Research <http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/>  and Panton
Principles <http://pantonprinciples.org/>  to introduce the Open Data
Award <http://www.biomedcentral.com/researchawards/otherawards/>  as
part of BioMed Central's 4th Annual Research Awards
<http://www.biomedcentral.com/researchawards/> .

The Open Data Award celebrates researchers who have published in any of
our 207 journals <http://www.biomedcentral.com/browse/journals/>  during
2009 and have demonstrated leadership in the sharing, standardization,
publication, or re-use of biomedical research data. The article should,
either as an additional/supplementary file or via a link to a
publicly-available dataset, enable the sharing and re-use of scientific
data associated with a published article

On the judging panel we are honoured to be joined by Peter Murray-Rust,
Cameron Neylon, Rufus Pollock and John Wilbanks of Panton Principles
along with Lee Dirks from Microsoft Research.

The shortlist will be announced soon, but we are still receiving
nominations. Please let me know if you would like to nominate an article
or have any questions about this initiative.

Best regards,

Iain
