Elsevier puts data in the spotlight - Materials Today
A researcher generates vast amounts of data during his or her career. But what to do with it all? Some data will be condensed into figures or tables in academic papers. Raw data can be included in publications as supplementary files, or deposited in a large range of repositories. Some data will be shared with colleagues in the lab, research institute, or collaborators further afield. But a vast amount of data goes unseen, unused, and uncredited. Now that data can be shared and reused freely, through some new initiatives now running at Elsevier and the Materials Today family of journals.
