Abstract

Data Paper is a searchable metadata document describing a particular online accessible dataset, or a group of datasets, and published in accordance to the standard academic practices. Its purposes are: • to provide a citable journal publication that brings scholarly credit to data publishers; • to describe the data in a structured human-readable form; and • to bring the existence of the data to the attention of the scientific community.
